CINCLIPS E-Z Undermount Sink Clips, Brackets, Supports - No Holes To Drill, No Messy Epoxy, No Cables. by Cinclips

I'm very happy with these clips.My undermount sink got detached after about 10 years. All that was holding it up was silicone caulk.I looked around for brackets or other mechanisms to hold this up. I couldn't find anything that would fit properly. All that was left was to build a frame using 2x4s.Then I came across these clips.They are awesome. It is a simple but very clever idea. The clips are a very strong kind of plastic, they feel very very sturdy. The hinge means that they will fit practically any cabinet.PS: it's true that it only comes with 10 screws, when there are 4 holes per clip (20 total). The instructions do say that you only need to drill the bottom two screws for each clip, so 10 is enough. You can add the top 10 screws for additional strength, but it says it's unnecessary. Still, I wonder why they would cheap out with this! Such a small detail, but it feels strange. Otherwise, everything is outstanding.

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 ;-)

My sink came away from our granite counter top about 10 years after installation. It was installed with PL cement only.I cleaned up the old PL and applied a fresh line of cement then used these brackets for additional support. They were very easy to install it took about 10 minutes.

I had an undermount sink that was improperly installed by the contracter. After nine years, the sink sagged and pulled away the caulk, causing a leak, mildew, and other bad things to happen.I searched the usual home super stores for things to fix the problem. I couldn't find anything specifically for an undermount sink. I found how to re-order the factory mounting kit, but I was concerned that I didn't have the right tools that it would take to drill into the granite countertop.I was about to hire a professional to come out and do it, but luckily I found Cinclips in the process. There's nothing complicated about having some polymer support arms that have an attached bracket that can fit at a variable angle. It's really simple to install. My undermount sink had a very tight space in between sink and the cabinet walls. There would have been no way for me to fit a drill underneath, which is probably why the original installation improvised with a shoddy job. Anyway, I was easily able to get Cinclips to fit in between the small space between the sink and the walls of the cabinet.I was able to fit the sink myself and made the sink mounting stronger than ever before. The only thing I wish that I could do to make Cinclips better is that I wish the fifth arm was full length. My sink is pulled out a bit from the wall, so the fifth arm wasn't much use.The other benefit I see from Cinclips is that I can remove and adjust them without a problem. I'm going to need to do that soon because I ended up not liking the caulk color that I chose, so I'm going to just recaulk with clear.I do recommend watching the Cinclips videos on their website for overall sink mounting instructions and tips. I haven't done this before and found them valuable.

This was a very good solution for raising my sink to its original position. The product is very durable and cost effective. Would recommend.
