21-11-2024My double kitchen undermount sink was starting to come apart from the counter in the middle. Also the caulking was looking very bad and discolored. So after reading lots of reviews I decided on this product and a tube of silicone caulk. The installation was very simple since the back of the plate that you screw into the cabinet was sticky so it allowed you to place in on the wall in the exact place you wanted before drilling holes into the cabinet and attaching it to the wall. Then once attached it was very easy to tighten the arm to press the sink up tight against the bottom of the counter and squeeze the newly installed caulk to make a secure fit.

Greater than one weekSometimes you find a tool thats just perfect for the task at hand. When the subcontractor installed the counters and sink in my new home, the keyhole slots in the granite counter for the undermount sink clips did not line up properly with the cabinets. So the installer left half the slots empty, with nothing supporting one of the two basins. Two years later its sagging on one side. I envisioned fabricating something similar to this device, so I was really happy to find this ready made. It would have taken five minutes to install, but the disposal was in the way, so I fiddled for all of 10 minutes to install it. Screw the mounting plate in position, tighten the turnbuckle by hand, then tighten the lock nut and youre done. Just be careful not to overtighten the turnbuckle, because unlike with clips youre not snugging the sink to the counter, youre exerting upward pressure on both sink and counter. After snugging it up by hand to the point where the new caulk squeezed out I marked the turnbuckle with a pencil and tightened another 1/8 turn. Great product.

> 3 dayThe space between our sink and the cabinet wall was just a shade less than the width of this thing. I made it fit after using a vise to squeeze the two top tabs until they were the same width as the rest of this contraption. After that it worked fine, although of course it needs removal of all the PVC and the garbage disposal in order to have space to drill a starter hole and then use a screwdriver. There is no reason for this contraption to cost so much.

> 3 dayHave had these installed at least a year now and works so well I had forgot all about it until I noticed the sealant/caulking still looked new and didnt require touch up like it normally does around this time if year. Super happy with this product!

> 3 dayStarted the install at 7:15 and was complete with a new no clog drain assembly by 8:00. I did not use the front bracket. It might have been faster with 2 people. I used a chisel to remove the old glue that had hardened. That took most of the time. There is about one inch of adjustment in the extension so I just dry fit everything and marked the cabinet walls about 1/4 - 1/2 inch below where the shortest distance of the extension landed. I did take out the pin and extension first and stuck only the bracket to the wall using the double sided tape so all that weight wasnt hanging on the glue. I was able to drill the pilot holes, that I think are very important, with a 90 degree drill. I could not fit my electric driver under the sink so I had to use a 90 degree ratcheting phillips to drive the screws. Needless to say, it is important to have the tools on hand and plan well. Then I put the sink on a stack of pots, put some sealant around the lip and installed these brackets. Then I hand turned the extensions slowly as the sink squeezed out the excess gunk. Turn wait, Wait Turn Turn Wait... etc. Done with the install. I did take the opportunity to install one of the no clog stopper assembly available on Amazon or the local hardware store. It works great too. Even though this is fairly expensive compared to clips I think it is well worth the money. It is darn near fool proof, is very strong, and easy to install.

17-11-2024I had a sink fall (from a granite countertop) when the brackets gave out. I had one person come in to fix it twice, and twice it fell (originally, he charged me $300 which was reimbursed after much complaining on my part). Two more contractors basically told me there is nothing they could do about it and refused to come in to check it out. I then went to the web and found this product. WORKS AS ADVERTISED. It takes less than 30 minutes to install and the installation process is made real easy with the adhesive tape (I do recommend you watch the YouTube video). The only tricky part is applying the recommended clear silicone sealant but is you practice your caulking skills on something else before committing to the sink, youll be fine. Do follow the instructions about hand tightening - dont be tempted to use a wrench. I had no need for the optional front bracket but saved it just in case. If you have a fallen sink, get this. Youll get a permanent solution at a fraction of the cost.

16-11-2024So after seeing a video on YouTube for this it looked like the perfect solution. That said, for my install the arms were too bulky/awkward to work with the tight space I had. The arms kept flopping down and because there is a lot of play side to side in how they are connected if you need to approach your sink at an odd angle they basically slide out of place. I avoided the simpler other types of these kits on Amazon thinking they would be cheap junk but really I think their simpler design (only allowing movement up and down, not side to side) would allow for less play and a better install in tighter areas.

Greater than one weekI am glad I found these, for some reason the marble installers only used glue to hold my undermount double sink to the underside of the marble slab. Of course the sink started showing gaps. I had a handyman install these to close the gaps and to support the sink. These should be a must have for anyone having an unmount sink installed under a stone type countertop.
