How to fix a towel rack

How To Repair A Loose Towel Rack


 

Recently my towel rack fell off the wall.  Upon investigation, I discovered the set screw had become loose.  This is a guide on how to rehang the towel rack, tighten the set screw, and use threadlocker to prevent it from loosening again. 










Supplies:

Small flat head screw driver 

Threadlocker
















Note the set screw located on the bottom of the towel bracket. 

As the picture depicts, the screw has almost backed all the way out. This will often happen with normal use.




Instructions:

• Add a drop of threadlocker to the set screw. 
• Set the bracket onto the wall hanging plate. The bracket usually has a lip on the back of the top edge that hooks on to the top edge of the wall bracket. Then press the bottom of the bracket against the wall.  
• Use the small flat head screw driver to tighten the set screw.
• Now your towel bracket should be secured in place.

Remember this is a small screw and does not require much threadlocker. The threadlocker is a liquid and only a drop is required. Be sure to keep a paper towel close at hand! 

That's it for this post. Go around and fix all your towel racks, and don't forget to use a threadlocker if you don't want to have to tighten them again.
