Service stops on Kohler K-11748-KS valve - do they stop before coming all the way out?

[SD Canuck]

Hi, I installed a Kohler K-11748-KS valve for my bathtub during a recent remodel. I had the service stops closed until the freestanding tub was installed (after the wall was tiled). I can reach the stops to open them, and I've opened them a bunch of turns so that the water flows, but I'd like to make sure I've got them all the way open. My fear is that I'll start unscrewing the stops and they'll just keep turning until they fall out - inside the wall.

Can someone confirm for me that my fears are unfounded, and that I can turn the screws all the way open and they will stop before coming totally out?

Thanks!

The screwdriver stop opens to the left. Turn it to the left till it stops and then don't force it anymore.

So.... to follow up. I turned the stops until they stopped turning - about 4 1/2 turns. No disastrous screws falling into the wall

Great, I'm glad it was easy.
