Troubleshooting
Brackets seem loose after installation
Ensure all screws are tightened securely. If mounting on a softer material, consider using longer screws or appropriate wall anchors for a firmer grip.
2x4 lumber does not fit snugly
Adjust the spacing between the brackets slightly, or trim the 2x4 lumber for a perfect fit. Ensure the lumber is not warped.
Visible rust spots on brackets
While stainless steel is resistant, extreme conditions can cause surface discoloration. Clean with a mild abrasive pad and appropriate stainless steel cleaner. Ensure the area is dry.
