gb Home Collection Adjustable Curtain Rod Brackets for 1 inch Rods, Set of 2, Black, Premium Steel Single Rod Bracket for Walls, Drapery Rod Holder, Extendable Metal Wall Bracket

The vertical blinds in our apartment came with a bracket that was located about five inches from the wall. So to hang curtains over them, it had to be as far from the wall as possible. Our sliding doors needed 3 brackets each, and so I purchased a 6 pack so I could use them on each of them. Although I thought more support would be necessary in the center, I honestly didn't need it! I had large blackout curtains hanging, so I thought I would need extra support there. We already had the center bracket up, so I left it in place since I was not going to change anything. However, one thing to take into account is there is not enough clearance to open or close the vertical blinds when closed curtains are present. need to open the curtains and then hold them away from the blinds if I want the curtains to adjust as well. Nevertheless, it is not a huge problem and I am still pleased with my bracket and would recommend it to others!.

There was the same type of bracket used on the curtain rods that I bought, but the rods were not I could have used these ADJUSTABLE brackets as an exact match to the non-adjustable brackets With the adjustable rods, I was able to hang the curtains nicely in front of the blinds by hanging the rods 5 inches out from the window frames. There is one annoying problem with these brackets, which I have given them only 4 stars instead of 5 As a result, the screw allowing the brackets to be adjusted for length was SO TIGHTLY TORQUED that I could not losen it with a screw driver without stripping the Phillips head (I am a big boy and could not budge it). The manufacturers apply this type of torque to screws that are there for adjustment. Why is this necessary? Ultimately, I had to use an impact driver to loosen the adjustment screw on each bracket while it was fixed in a vice. Every one of them worked well and broke loose after a short time. However, we ask manufacturers to use some common sense when constructing these products.

Having said that, I rate these 4 stars since they are cheap and do the job. Having 6 is a huge discount, so if GrayBunny hadn't offered it, they would have gotten 3 stars, but I believe they are worth the money, so they get 4 stars. Since they are thin metal and not reinforced, you won't get a chin-up from them These up bars aren't exactly what I would use for my curtains, but they do what I need to do, which is extend three inexpensive curtain rods farther away from the wall, so that the deep folds in my grommet curtains can be enclosed. All curtain rods come with soft metal screws, which is fine (all curtain rods come with those), along with drywall anchors if you're mounting to sheetrock. However, my curtains are mounted to hardwood, which suggests I had to drill large pilot holes down the entire rod. By the time I bottomed them into the hardwood, my driver was still stripping the Phillips X. We put up the curtains, rods, brackets (hidden) and the new Venetian blinds, and they look great. The problems I had with these were solved, so I am happy enough. Graybunny has given me a price break for six, and I will recommend these for an economy system.

In general, this bracket does a fairly decent job- A well-made item that is heavy duty and sturdy. Although I tried hard to loosen the adjustment screw, I had major problems. Because the screw was not perpendicular to the pieces, it was embedded much too tightly. Additionally, the two pieces were at an angle, so the screw was not perpendicular to them. The screws were almost impossible to remove because the head was beginning to break off. My son and I both tried to remove the screws. Spraying penetrating fluid on both brackets and letting them sit was all there was to it. After that, I tried by hand, but there was My next step was to clamp them in a vise and attempt to remove them using a power drill. A screw came out of a cap- I am able to repurpose it despite it being a little beat up. It was stripped to an extent that it could no longer be used. The head had to be drilled with a Dremel tool first, and then I had to get a screwdriver with a flat head to fit into it. I was able to remove the screw after that. It's a relief. The screws must have been removed quite a bit of effort to be able to adjust the brackets. Despite the threads not being stripped, their quality was not affected. With the exception of one screw I converted to a slotted screw, I was able to reuse it There is just a thread to thread in and a tight enough fit to keep the two pieces together, which is still the case. It may have been a bad sample, perhaps Others should be aware that tight adjustment screws can pose an issue if you pick up a set of these.

Using the supplied anchors might be good for drywall, but I used it in wood and the screws broke even after predrilling the holes half way down. Almost impossible to vertically mount since the fastening bolts are too small to fit over As soon as I loosened the screws, they started to strip. It is best to look elsewhere for a deal, unless that is those you need and they are the cheapest.

The curtain rod brackets don't hold paint well, but that's about all we can say. Our goal was to paint them.

It was important to me that the brackets fit between the top molding of the window and the ceiling, so I ordered these. There is a difference of 1 1/2 inches between the brackets based on the measurements provided. Two and a half inches tall are not enough for me since they are too small. There is no reason to trust the measurements listed, but they do seem to be strong, well-made brackets.

As I wanted to hang some curtains on our (covered) balcony, but didn't want to spend the money to buy actual curtain rods as ones that were the length I needed were very expensive, I bought a couple of these brackets and some PVC pipe from the hardware store instead.
