How to Fix a Loose Toilet Paper Holder

Have you ever pulled on your roll of toilet paper only to find that the holder is loose? It might seem overwhelming to fix, but it's really quite simple. Here are easy instructions that you can follow to fix a loose toilet paper holder.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Screwdriver, either flathead or Phillips

1. Remove your toilet paper and the roller bar from the toilet paper holder.

2. Look in the area behind the roller bar. You should see two screws where the toilet paper holder has been secured to your cabinet or wall. Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove the screws. If the screw head has an "X" in it, you'll need a Phillips head screwdriver. If the screws have a "--" where you insert the screwdriver, you'll need a regular flathead screwdriver.

3. Remove your toilet paper holder from the cabinet.

4. Turn over the toilet paper roll holder. You'll see a screw on each side of the bar that extends out to hold the roller. Tighten the screws.

5. Put the toilet paper roll holder back onto your cabinet. Hold the device on your cabinet and put the two screws that you removed in Step 1 back into place. Tighten them by hand to hold the unit, then finish tightening them with your screwdriver.

6. Replace the roller bar and toilet paper. Now it won't be loose!
