Here are the installation steps of the cage nut:
1. Clean square holes: Make sure that the square holes at the installation position are clean, free of debris, burrs, etc., so as not to affect the installation effect.
2. Pinch the spring buckle: Pinch the spring buckle of the cage nut with your fingers so that its diameter is smaller than the installation hole. Pay attention to uniform and moderate force to avoid excessive force affecting the locking effect of the buckle.
3. Insert the installation hole: Align the pinched buckle with the square hole and gently insert it. After it pops open, the buckle will be tightened in the square hole. At this time, the cage nut is installed.
