- 3Is the frame height adjustable?
- 4How is the frame secured to the wall and floor?
- 5What flush plate options do I have?

💡 Tip: A good installer will welcome these questions. If they dismiss them, that's a red flag.
💡Myth vs Reality
Common Myth
"All wall-hung frames are basically the same"
The Reality
Cheap frames have plastic components that fail. Quality frames use metal throughout and last decades.
Common Myth
"The frame is hidden so quality doesn't matter"
The Reality
You'll interact with the flush mechanism daily for 20+ years. Cheap ones become unreliable.
