Using this Bradley toilet paper dispenser is simple. First, find a suitable surface to mount it. Once it's installed, you can place a single toilet paper roll with a diameter of up to 5.5 inches on the spindle. When it's time to refill, just tear off the tissue core and release the spring to put in a new roll. Remember, the locking mechanism is there to prevent vandalism, so don't try to force it open. For maintenance, you can wipe the dispenser with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep its aluminum finish looking good. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material.
