Never Fall Complete Sink Repair system

I just got done installing this in my kitchen to repair a sunken sink. The hardest part of the whole project was having to clean out under the sink first. It was awkward moving the drill around to predrill the screw holes, but I only had to move the dishwasher drain tube to the garbage disposal - an easy thing to do - to give me enough room. Using this bracket saved me a lot of money and stress. Five stars.

The directions were clear and the brackets came with two-sided tape which held the bracket in place for drilling pilot holes and installing screws. Installation was easy.

We used these to install a heavy, 167 lb, farmhouse sink. Pro: It was easy to install, just four screws. Easy to adjust. Appears to be sturdy and strong. Con: Allows the under-counter farmhouse sink to shift around. The Never Fall has a T shape; that is, a long vertical rod topped by a shorter horizontal piece. These two pieces are joined in such a way that the top bar rotates on the vertical bar. The under-counter farmhouse sink is installed by sliding it into place, not by dropping it into a hole; so the Never Fall does not keep the sink in place, rather it lets the sink pivot out of the cabinet and onto the floor. This review might be a little unfair because the device is not sold as a tool for installing sinks, only repairing them. But it seemed like it would work for installation too. It does not.

Heavy duty and much larger that I thought they would be (about 14 total length), and the pivot support at the top isnt made for tight clearances like mine, but but I made them work. Dimensions would have been helpful. Need to buy a set of the other prevalent design for support where my water system got in the way of the 14 length

couldnt ask for a better product

Our kitchen sink fell in a few weeks ago because the gent who owned our house before us used industrial glue instead of the normal bracket kit. We bought this as a hail Mary since none of the hardware stores had what we needed. And it more than did the job!

Our under the counter (double) stainless steel sink was installed poorly when the new counter tops went in (prior to us buying the house), and was being held up by one small, cheap metal bracket - basically the sink was falling down. I had no idea about attaching sinks to counters, and decided to try this product out before calling in help. It was super easy to install (about 10 minutes), and even easier to adjust. The sink is pretty heavy, but turning the supports to raise it was completely effortless. I did end up using the optional ratchet on the front of the sink because the sink was still bowing, and that worked perfectly as well. Highly recommend. It took up almost no space in the cabinet under the sink. Remember to use sealant between sink and counter.

My SS sink was falling out of the quartz countertop, in a one year old home. I was NOT happy. I found these, and they looked like the perfect solution. They installed very easily, and are very sturdy. My only problem was that the sink wanted to slip out of place, until the silicone set up—so I had to hold the sink in position for an hour. I don’t fault the supports. Silicone is really slippery when it’s wet. Just be aware.

My sink collapsed from the weight of a bowl of water!? Didn’t know that was possible. Suspended by epoxy resin from the granite countertop, I was actually shocked that it didn’t happen sooner once I saw what was holding it up: essentially a couple beads of epoxy resin. Following my tradition of overstructuring anything I DIY, I installed 2 on each side of the sink. That also provided me the maximum flexibility of being able to support the sink from asymmetric points. Otherwise, I would have take all of the plumbing out, including the garbage disposal and the water filtering system, just to get a clean access. If you are like me, and would rather lift everything as the video describes, your biggest challenge will be to drill the supporting screws before tightening the turnbuckles and restoring all of the sink and hookups to its prior position. BTW, that actually works. I was skeptical. For that reason the adhesive backing feature is a God send, since it supports the brackets before you can get the screws in. Get it level as possible once you stick it into position. As far as screwing the brackets to the side of the cabinet walls, one should use a flexible drill bit. There just isn’t any room under there. Despite the flexible drill bit, I still had to install half of screws blind or by feel. To that end, I recommend drilling pilot holes first, then the screws. It’s so much easier since drilling at bend will reduce the force you can apply. If you’re unsure where to put the brackets, just tighten the turnbuckle when you open the package just to see what the maximum lift distance is, and you’ll get a feel for what you have to work with. Account for the fact that brackets will support the sink at angles. The turnbuckle only will give you about 3 inches or so to lift the sink. Position the sink first. To achieve this, I just propped the sink up with a bucket and a couple pieces of wood from the bottom of the garbage disposal until about a 2-3 inch clearance existed between the bottom of the countertop and the top of the sink. Attaching the brackets with the screws is the most time consuming part, otherwise everything went as planned or as the video shows. The next most time-consuming part is removing the previous calk to create new clean surface to calk. Calk and then lift the sink as evenly as possible by turning each of turnbuckles counterclockwise until the sink and it’s attachments are back into position. Weird as it seems, the plumbing will actually help, since it “wants” to be in its previous position. Given these caveats, the product works great and is an improvement over what was there. I’m pretty sure I can stand in the sink if it we’re not for fear of denting the stainless steel.

Our sink had a large gap where it should have joined to the countertop. I thought it was just a matter of time until the whole sink detached. My husband found this and said it was easy to install. It appears better than the original installation. Very robust. Great product, actually does what it’s supposed to and at a very reasonable price.
