CINCLIPS NEVER FAILS - Its A Complete Undermount Sink Installation and Repair Kit Made In USA

We recently changed our kitchen countertops and sink. Having read way too many stories about sinks beginning to become unglued from the countertop, I wanted to add an ounce of prevention.... Many readings later, I landed on these. I particularly appreciate these supports as they fit perfectly for our application. Very simple, fast and easy to install. Pretty much only requires an impact driver or screwdriver to install with the included 3/4 inch screws. Screwed directly into the interior sides of the cabinet beneath the sink. My wife was worried they would impede on the space in the cabinet below the sink. They absolutely don't. The supports are made of heavy and sturdy plastic and basically are there as back up to support the weight of the sink and it's contents. I would definitely buy again and not hesitate to recommend.

These may be one of the easiest, and most cost effective, ways to remount a sink. Let me explain: My kitchen sink recently pulled away from the silicon sealant, and the mounting brackets were improperly mounted and sized for the weight of the sink. The mounting brackets had actually bent about 15-30 degrees each, the right side of the sink on the worse end of that range. I had tried remounting with new brackets but ended up with them bending as well, much to my surprise. To be fair, I frequently fill my sink with about 7 gallons of water and will do a week's worth of dishes in a single sitting. Not the best plan if the sink isn't secure. So when I was told that these cinclips would mount into pressboard and hold my fully filled sink, garbage disposal and associated plumbing, I was skeptical. And it turns out I was wrong. They are shockingly sturdy for what is only 4 plastic mounting brackets (5 when you use the rear/front short bracket) being held into pressboard by 4 screws each. They are almost as easy to mount as the company's tutorial video depicted. Yet another surprise. My only issue was the short bracket that I had to install in the rear of the sink, which was a construction problem unrelated to this product. If you do not have about 4 inches of front cabinet to screw the bracket into, you may be stuck manually attaching the 4 screws on the short bracket while working behind your sink in a space only 3-4 inches wide. That being said, many other users said they didn't even use the short Cinclip. And use gorilla tape to hold up your sink while installing it. I opted for duct tape, and decided after installation to read about the difference between the duct and gorilla. In testing: gorilla tape is stickier, holds more weight, and is more water resistant. All good things for a sink project. In practice, I've still never used gorilla tape so I'm going on recommendation. The cinclips have now been installed for a month. The sink did initially settle about a quarter inch and pull away from the silicone I had used as a sealant. I reapplied the silicone 2 days after installation and have had no peeling away since. I believe this would have been avoided if I had gone with the gorilla tape and not the duct tape. Should I ever need to remount another fallen kitchen sink, I will most likely use the cinclips system again. It's simply too convenient, especially given that it can be used the same day as installation. **Update 10/23/16** My wife and I moved into a new house this year, and while doing the inspection I realized that the kitchen sink was IDENTICAL to the sink in our old home. Looking underneath the sink I saw the 4 brackets were also identically installed. Having spent about a year with my previous cinclips not giving out, I opted to buy and install them before the sink could peeled away. It took me 5 minutes to install the 4 brackets compared to the 2 hours it took for me to remove the old brackets from the sink, clean the caulk/silicone off, remove the overtightened garbage disposal fittings, clean up the resulting water, reapply caulk, tape the sink, and THEN install the cinclips. If you have the option, install these before you have problems. It was so much easier ;-)

Very good product. One of them is not straight but it worked. Took some time to install because of all the plumbing but great once it installed. Do recommend it.

I bought and installed these back in February 2017. 3 years later, the mounts are still holding my sink in place with zero issues to speak of. Back in 2017, my stainless steel undermount sink was sagging because the silicone caulking bead between the edge of the sink and the granite countertop was cracked and water was seeping onto the plywood supporting the sink. I waited entirely too long to replace the caulking and as a result, the plywood rotted. The Cinclips was a very simple install. Push the sink back up in place, mount the clips in the desired location, mark the holes for the Cinclip base mounts, drill the holes, screw the brackets in place, and that's it. You're done. Obviously, the cauking around the sink has to be redone with your silicone based sealing agent of choice. I'm sure other people might encounter difficulties based on their kitchen cabinet setup. I was fortunate that kitchen cabinets are modular with vertical boards located 2" to the outside of my kitchen sink, providing me a perfect location to mount the Cinclip bases. Overall, including recaulking, I remounted and repaired my sagging sink in about 1.5 hours total. So long as I keep my sink sealed and the supporting structure completely dry, I have no doubts that the Cinclips wil last the life of my kitchen and I will not be plagued with the problem of a sagging kitchen sink ever again.

Easy to install but need to make sure the brace is held secure prior to screwing it in. The 5th support is small and no able to install on back as there is no access to screw it in.
