Tech + Tool Tip Tuesdays: Preloading Screws

When securing a bracket to extrusion, we recommend pre-loading the bracket with screws. This is when screws and nuts are loaded on the bracket before it is even brought near the extrusion. The pre-loaded screws are left loose so that the bracket can be slid into place along the slot. To secure the bracket in place, just tighten the nuts!
Don't forget, the Tech + Tool Tip Tuesday content can be found in our documentation.
