Troubleshooting

The lintel doesn't seem to fit the cavity.

Double-check the cavity width against the lintel's specifications. The CTF5 is designed for 50mm to 65mm cavities. If the measurement is outside this range, you may need a different lintel model.

The brickwork above the lintel appears to be unstable.

Ensure the lintel is properly installed and that it has adequate bearing on each side of the opening. Verify that the restraint clips are correctly fitted. If the issue persists, consult a structural engineer.
