Product: allen + roth Oil Rubbed Bronze Steel Single Curtain Rod Bracket 2 Pack
Brand: allen + roth | Model: 26961ORB
Product Overview
The allen + roth Oil Rubbed Bronze Steel Single Curtain Rod Bracket is designed to securely hold 1-inch curtain rods, providing a stable and elegant solution for your window treatments. This pack includes two brackets and all necessary mounting hardware for easy installation.
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your curtain rod brackets. Ensure you have the necessary tools before beginning.
Tools Required:
- Pencil
- Measuring Tape
- Level
- Drill with appropriate drill bits (for pilot holes and anchors)
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
Installation Steps:
Step 1: Determine Mounting Location. Decide on the desired height and width for your curtain rod. Mark the precise locations for each bracket using a pencil and a level to ensure they are aligned horizontally.
Step 2: Mark Screw Holes. Hold each bracket in its marked position and use a pencil to mark the locations for the mounting screws through the bracket's screw holes.
Step 3: Drill Pilot Holes. Using a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and the provided anchors/screws, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If installing into drywall, insert the plastic wall anchors into the pilot holes until flush with the wall surface.
Step 4: Secure Brackets. Align the bracket with the drilled holes. Insert the provided screws through the bracket's holes and into the wall anchors or directly into the wall stud. Tighten the screws firmly with a screwdriver until the bracket is secure against the wall. Do not overtighten.

Once both brackets are securely mounted, place your 1-inch curtain rod into the U-shaped cradle of the brackets. Ensure the rod is seated properly and is stable.

Operating Instructions
These brackets are designed for passive operation, providing stable support for your curtain rod. Once installed, they require no further active operation beyond holding the rod.
- Ensure the curtain rod is fully seated within the bracket's cradle.
- The brackets are designed to accommodate standard 1-inch diameter curtain rods. Using rods of different diameters may compromise stability.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your curtain rod brackets.
- Cleaning: Wipe the brackets periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the oil rubbed bronze finish.
- Screw Tightness: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight. If any screws feel loose, gently tighten them with a screwdriver to maintain stability. Do not overtighten.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your curtain rod brackets, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket feels loose on the wall. | Mounting screws are not tight enough or wall anchors are not properly seated. | Gently tighten the mounting screws. If the issue persists, remove the bracket, inspect the wall anchors, and re-install them correctly. Ensure screws are driven into studs if possible. |
| Curtain rod does not fit into the bracket. | The curtain rod diameter is not 1 inch. | Verify that your curtain rod has a 1-inch diameter. These brackets are specifically designed for this size. |
| Brackets appear uneven. | Incorrect measurement or level not used during installation. | Remove the brackets, re-measure and re-mark the positions using a level, then re-install. |
