Worst installation experience I've ever had

This product has the most ridiculous installation process I've ever seen. They advertise easy installment payments, but that's far from the case. They provide lever bolts for mounting, and the instructions say to make a "big hole so the tip of the lever bolt can easily pass through when folded (yes, easy, not easy)." The problem is that the hole is so has to be big (much bigger than any drill bit I've had) that there's nothing stopping it from falling behind the wall after the lever bolt goes through because the washers are about half the size. . Hole required to install the screw. At this point you need to prevent the previously installed screws from falling out while you drill new holes and install the remaining screws. Then you need to find a way to align all 4 screws with the holes in the product itself without knocking any of them out. Oh, and you always have to pull on the screw heads when you want to tighten the screws as they don't really catch on anything, so you need to find a way to do this without one of the screws falling off. Overall, this is an overly complicated process that doesn't give you the option to move the product to another location after installation, as the screws just screw into the wall. So once inside, they can't get out without punching a big hole in the wall.
