Delta Towel Bar Quick Click: Doesn’t Work for Me

--------------
I was unable to install my Delta Faucet Lyndall 24” towel bar because of problems with the Quick Click mounting system. The cheapness of the included drywall anchors doesn’t help. I know there are videos of people successfully installing Delta towel bars with this system, but this video explains the trouble I had with this fussy design.
You were trying to pop in in the wrong way😂.
One of our quick clip brackets broke. Does anyone know what the part number is for this mounting bracket?
The chinese slave labor that delta uses aren't capable of properly installing a set screw into the plate, so they came up with something a child slave could build.
How do you remove without damage
Piece of crap! Messed with it for an hour and the bracket finally broke. I'm on hold with Delta Liberty Hardware right now. I bought the Lyndall toilet paper holder LDL50-PC. I'm so angry! I made two holes in my new vanity to mount it, went to the hardware store because wood screws were NOT included (just drywall mounting hardware), and now vanity is ruined unless I can patch it or get another tp holder that needs holes in the same place. GRRRRRRRRRR!
You have the bracket backwards bud. Flip it around and it'll click in easy
No, it's correct. The side of the bracket that faces away from the wall has markings, and the backside doesn't. Here we are looking at the whole thing from the back.
Oh I wish I’d seen this video before I tried to install it for the last hour and a half: I am livid about this. I’m having the exact same issues you did!!
Yep, I had the exact same experience. It went back.
Same thing happened to me, except after the hole in my cabinet was patched, the retainer clip broke when I tried to install the handle!
Spent over an hour getting everything lined up and evenly spaced and the stupid mounts wouldn't go on the spring clips. Ended up pressing up so hard that I tore the anchor out of the wall. Now I have to patch the wall and return everything. What a horrible design. I can't believe they are still selling these things.
I just lurches the same towel bar and a couple of hooks. Unfortunately, it came only with screw in drywall anchors which does me no good as I have tile, so I have to go buy regular plugs to set the plate. But, I’m looking at the plate and instead of the normal plate/set screw design, I see the metal loops so I started looking at the instructions and figured I’d come to RUclips to see how the bar gets mounted and came across this. Now, I’m concerned and thinking if I should return mine or not. I can’t just patch up the holes if it doesn’t work out. Bummer, but thanks for sharing your thoughts.
How do you even Uninstall it
I. Ought this and now returning back. Thank you for the video
Bring back the Columbus-era set screw design, please. To use Doug Fishback's eloquent summation: "All this shit's going back."
You can’t get these off with damage to your wall
This video made my day. Thanks for giving me a good laugh. Yes, complete junk and shitty design.
These were a nightmare and absolute garbage design to work with and they seem to have returned to the set screw mount on some products
I bought the exact same toilet roll holder. Luckly, I looked it over first and found the spring was not working so didn't install it. It's going back. Bad design.
This is one project I'm happy I didn't rush into. As I taped the template to the wall and took a good look at how the towel bar ends are supposed to attach to the bracket, I realized I might be able to get one end piece attached to the bracket (that was before I watched your video) - but there was no way I'd be able to attach the second end piece into the first while holding the towel bar in place while trying to force the end piece onto the bracket. The Delta video shows how to attach a toilet paper holder - for criminy sakes that has a collapsible bar and is no comparison to the 24" towel bar. Yep, returning 'em. Many thanks for the video!!
Where do I even find this dang part? been looking for hours. ugh.
Agreed. Also, try getting them off the wall if you need to without destroying something. Will never buy Delta again, or at least not with this design. Moen is much better.
Quick click is the WORST install system out there! Set screw much better!
i’ve had the same problem. What a piece of junk!!
I have the same ones in my bathrooms too . Totally bad engineering.
This video made my day. Yes, complete junk and shitty design. Thanks for giving me a good laugh.
Lol. Three years ago, I purchased Delta’s Warlow collection. I finally got around having a major bathroom due to water damage. The contractors completed all the insurance work, and installed the towel bars, faucet, and toilet paper holder. I told them not to do the robe hook on the back of the door, and I’d do it later after I got a new door.
Well that happened this weekend. After much deliberation I finally decided I would just go buy some command performance hooks cause I was scared I’d tear up my door trying install this product.
Then I decided to see if I could fine a video on installing this damn Delta product and I stumbled on to your video. OH MY GOD thank you for this. You confirmed my decision to NOT try to install this product. What the &$#%!!!! Installing a robe hook should not be made this difficult.
At least you can take yours back. I purchased this Delta collection from Lowe’s, and the Warlow collection has been discontinued.
Like the video, but hate the Delta quick click towel ring.
Thank you sir ! You saved me lots of frustration . No more delta products for me !
Yup damn things wouldn't clip on the holder
Spent an hour and two extra holes in my wall
Very helpful, shame on delta lol
I had the same issue.. it’s seems that you need an special tool or something like that.. it’s so hard to install!

Thanks for the rview
Same here. I am infuriated.
Those anchors suck. After making a bunch of holes I ended up going to Home Depot and bought the metal anchors. Now I have to fill that the hook didn’t cover.
Yep. Always get the metal anchors. Every project!
I am returning mine for this reason as well.
Agree - This quick click sytem SUCKS! My wall is screwed up b/c of this system.
I have the same towel bars and robe hook (different hardware) and realized both anchors would not work drilled in together. So use regular (smaller anchors). A large blue one on the top hole and a smaller one (yellow)on the bottom-it worked! Have installed 2 towel bars and one robe hook from the Lyndall collection. I did drill into a stud for the robe hook though. 😅
I experienced the exact same problem of the towel rod post not having enough clearance to pop over the bracket. Machined poorly in the factory.
Agreed - this single anchor to hold on to the wall is impossible to remove
Really not that hard….either to put in or remove.
I didn't have a problem installing these and they have been holding for about 6 months. I need to remove one now, how it comes off.
To remove, push up from the bottom and roll the top edge away from the wall.
even if you are able to slip it in, how are you going to remove it ?
The spring is still in there, so you'd push up on the bar to compress the springs again and rotate the bar outward to clear the anchor.
We have the same problem. Toilet paper always fall because now it's facing down but we don't know how to remove it. Thanks for the tip. I'll try it.
The problem is in the way the mount goes into the spring clip. You will not be able to do it straight in as shown in the vid, which is not what the directions say. The mount needs to be inserted at an angle to the spring to give more leverage. Here's a vid showing how it's done: ruclips.net/video/IZwK9eMpCYE/видео.html. FWIW, I've installed three of these, including towel bars with two springs each, and had trouble only with the first one. Once I figured it out for the first one (without the vid link I gave, mind you!), the next two were much easier. As for the anchors, I don't know what you did to break them, but, you're supposed to stop turning the screwdriver when you feel resistance; never use a drill screwdriver, including a Dremel, because you won't feel the resistance until it's too late. Always best to follow directions! When in doubt, search the 'net for help (e.g., "install delta towel bar" without the quotes; substitute "delta" for your mfr, and "towel bar" for whatever you're installing); you'd be surprised at what's out there to aid the DIY'er! (n.b., most directions/packages have the mfr's website listed, which, often, have a customer support page with specifics for your project, and, sometimes, even step-by-step vids and guides and manuals!)
No, it's a bad product.
This trick worked for me. I was also very frustrated until trying this. Thank you for finding the link. The combination of the compression plus the angle seems to be the trick. Doing only one without the other does not work. I wonder if I will be able to remember the tricks a few years from now, when the thing inevitably loosens again?
I found it easy to install and mount! Took my time installing the anchors in the drywall. I use it to hang a towel next to the shower. I think it's a great design. Easy to put on and easy to remove.
My toilet paper holder with the same design went pretty easy for me as well but somebody put weight on it and it's separating from the wall a smidge. I cannot get this thing off the bracket for anything. I'm trying not to destroy my wall but at this point it seems unavoidable.
@@robertyanez4671 I think you push up, then pull away from the wall from the bottom edge of the mount?
