Introduction

It is common for a curtain rod bracket to come apart from the wall as a result of accidental tension. A broken bracket may leave you without curtains that provide you privacy in your home.

Before using this guide, confirm that the screws have been stripped from the wall and cannot be screwed directly back in without further action. Otherwise, the bracket can be screwed in without additional steps.

Before beginning, confirm that all screws, drill bits, and anchors are the same size as your bracket to avoid any mistakes.

Caution: Step three requires you to use a cordless drill to drill a hole in the wall. Remember to keep your hands and hair away from the electric drill at all times.

Step 1
