How do you cut the ceiling mount support? Having trouble with this part and it's almost double the length I need it to me....

The ceiling mount support doesn't & shouldn't be cut, only the rod that clamps into it. I just used a hack saw.

You will need to use a metal hack saw to cut the non-threaded end of the rod to the length you want. The threaded end screws into the ceiling mount.

You need a vice and a hack saw....mark the spot on the rod you would like to cut and discard....clamp the rod in a vice; using the hack saw cut the rod...on our corner shower curtain rod I used two vertical rods to give additional strength...it has been working just fine....IWD

Hi, I cut it with hack saw where is not threaded , install rod first to get exact measurement from ceiling to top of the rod atfter cut just tighten with small screw inside holder.

I replaced it with the Pivotrim X4. It was only about $20 and it's simpler to replenish the line. You just thread pre-cut pieces of line onto two hole mounts. The line forms a U through the mount. I've been using it with just 2 opposing mounts leaving the other two empty.

I skipped the ceiling mount ( you can cut it to any length) but reinforced the support with my own constructed wall support. I just used a bracket for screwing conduit to a wall to support the shower curtain bar since I skipped the ceiling mounts. It's supported on three corners and holding up fine. Might be an issue if you have kids who will pull down on the shower curtain.

Yes. You will need to remove the upper portion of support column and substitute the supposed extension piece. I have mine mounted in a 5'6" tall location. You will not find this modification in any Simple Human instruction. I made no permanent modification to unit. The spring will not compress enough! Don't even try!! If you start cutting it with a hack saw, you will certainly void warranty and most likely destroy the unit. Again, no permanent modification required! I still have original upper arm in case I ever want to move the location of unit. I figure this thing is going to last for years! Yes.

I don't know how big your power cable is, but to give you some perspective, if you had a standard AC power cable (like for a toaster) and you cut off the plug in portion, that cable would easily fit through. It's an oval shaped hole. I'm very happy with the mount and would have had no issues if I wanted to ceiling mount.

It's 5 3/4 inch long screw mounts 3 1/4 you could not cut it down from one end. This item would take skill to do a good looking finished job.

I didn't assemble it. My handyman did. I think he had to "rig it" with a part from the being replaced because it didn't hang the way we wanted it to - I have sloped ceilings. Didn't the assembly directions come with it? If not contact the company. They should be able to email them to you.

I had the same problem with 14 ft ceilings. I tried unsucessfuly to find the right hardware to accomplish this.

I installed it on a vaulted ceiling and did have to get creative to make a longer support rod. I used a stainless steel tubing that was close to the same size. Then instead of set screw to hold the rod I drilled a hole through the holder and the tubing and inserted a pin.

I would estimate about 6 foot long. I cut off the extra length, and don't know how what I did with it. I will tell you, that unless you have a ceiling higher than the standard 8' or 9', there is more than adequate chain. If this doesn't satisfy your need, I'll do my best to find the piece of the chain I cut off. Just let me know.

There is a chain and an electrical wire that comes with the unit. Decide on the height you prefer. Clip the chain and wire to those specifications from the top, not where it attaches into the lights. Be sure to adjust for the amount of wire needed to connect to a power source. The chain will only be needed to be cut from where it is hanging from the ceiling. Be sure to turn off the breaker switch to the area you are connecting.

It is very long. My husband had to cut it to hang it from our daughters ceiling.

This light has metal rods that hang from ceiling. There were 2 rods that are if different lengths. Don't think you can cut the rods to any length.

There must be too much space between your ceiling post and the floor. I couldn't say definitively because mine was missing the floor piece when I got it, so I never got to set it up.
