Troubleshooting

The lintel isn't level.

Re-adjust the mortar bed and use a level to ensure the lintel is perfectly horizontal before the mortar sets. Double check the level both along its length and width.

The lintel appears to be bending under load.

Ensure the load doesn't exceed the lintel's capacity and check that the end bearings are properly installed and supported.

Difficult to align.

Double-check opening measurements and ensure there's sufficient space for the lintel, including end bearing. Use shims if necessary, but ensure that the mortar fills all voids.
