Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your Everbilt Closet Pole Sockets:
- Determine Placement: Choose the desired height and location for your closet pole. Ensure the location is structurally sound to support the weight of the pole and clothing.
- Mark Mounting Points: Hold one socket (typically the closed-lip socket first) against the wall at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes. Repeat for the second socket, ensuring it is level with the first and at the correct distance for your closet pole.
- Pre-Drill Holes (if necessary): Depending on your wall material (e.g., drywall, wood stud), you may need to pre-drill pilot holes for the mounting screws. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw diameter.
- Mount the Closed-Lip Socket: Align the closed-lip socket with the marked holes and secure it firmly to the wall using the provided mounting screws.
- Insert Closet Pole: Place one end of your 1-5/16 inch closet pole into the mounted closed-lip socket.
- Mount the Open-Lip Socket: With the pole resting in the closed-lip socket, position the open-lip socket around the other end of the pole and against the wall. Mark the screw holes. Remove the pole temporarily if needed to secure the open-lip socket to the wall with mounting screws.
- Final Pole Placement: Once both sockets are securely mounted, insert the closet pole into the closed-lip socket and then lower the other end into the open-lip socket. Ensure the pole is seated correctly and is stable.
Note: Always ensure the sockets are installed into wall studs or use appropriate wall anchors for drywall installations to support the weight.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Everbilt Closet Pole Sockets provide a stable support for your closet pole. Simply hang clothing items on hangers directly onto the pole. Ensure the total weight on the pole does not exceed the structural capacity of your wall mounting or the pole itself.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your closet pole sockets:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the sockets and mounting screws for any signs of loosening or damage. Tighten screws if necessary.
- Cleaning: Wipe the sockets with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Weight Limits: Do not overload the closet pole. Excessive weight can stress the sockets and mounting points, potentially leading to failure.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Everbilt Closet Pole Sockets, consider the following:
- Pole is Loose:
- Ensure both sockets are securely fastened to the wall.
- Verify the closet pole diameter matches the 1-5/16 inch socket size.
- Check if the pole is properly seated in both the open-lip and closed-lip sockets.
- Sockets are Loose on Wall:
- Tighten all mounting screws.
- If screws are stripped or wall material is damaged, consider relocating the sockets or using stronger wall anchors.
- Difficulty Inserting Pole:
- Ensure the open-lip socket is correctly oriented to allow the pole to drop in.
- Confirm the pole length is appropriate for the distance between the two mounted sockets.
