can the length be shortened? say if it was cut and holes we redrilled? or does it effect the integrity of the mount?

Hi Valerie.First off it might benefit from knowing that the mount is adjustable in height. If at its shortest length, if it is still too long, could it be cut and re-drilled? Yes. You would have to cut one specific side of both tubes that are part of the mount. If you have further questions please contact AV-Express. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can be made shorter. In fact, we have this light hanging in a bedroom quite close to the ceiling, otherwise people would be always running into it.

Yes, if you apply a gentle pull the bar pulls from the bracket and you can then cut it to length. I did this for one of my locations.

This consists of two pieces. One piece is the mount which attaches to the wall and is a metal bar with a shallow "U" in along the middle of it's entire length. The other piece that you see in most of the photos, is a formed metal "cap" with magnets inside. This outer cap firmly grips to the wall mount via the magnets.If you were to cut these two pieces to size, I expect they would still work, but you would have to deal with the exposed, possibly messy cut end.

Yes it is, we had the same problem. It just takes a pair of pliers or cutters to remove the longer links. Then you need to cut down the excess wire, but it is easy if you have any experience with wiring at all. The usual trim it to fit, then carefully cut back the plastic coating to expose the length of wire you will need to wire it to the ceiling mount.

Bless the little helper! Unfortunately, no it cannot be shortened. Just an FYI to you and others who read this, I have had mine a few months and the handle cracked so it is wound up in duct tape.

Only by modifications ....you would have to cut the ends off of the frame for the length you desire and then weld the pieces back on to the rail. This is the only way we know of...hope this helps.

Yes, the bar can be shortened. A tubing cutter or a careful cut with a hacksaw will reduce the bar length to your needs. The bar simply slides into the wall mounted supports so measure carefully and cut as needed.

Yes, You can cut and adjust the length of the rail. I just installed it this weekend act its pretty easy...just need a screw driver or an drill with the screw bit and some scissors to get the right panel length.

Yes, the cables can be cut to any shorter length. I cut a couple of feet off for my run in my entry foyer. It does hook up t a standard ceiling box. Not sure on the ceiling box size, but there are slots in the mounting plate, so it is fairly adaptable. You mount the plate with the transformer on it, then use a couple of screws to mount the cover to that. The cover is roughly 5" across. It was an easy installation.

Yes I cut mine down a little as well, to make it fit. Be careful to get the length correct. If you cut it too short you are shall we say "screwed". Better to err on the long side as you can always cut off more. There is a small fudge factor involved. I used masking tape at the cut line to make sure I didn't scratch the finish, I got the brown-colored pole. Am happy with the purchase.

depends how you configure the mount, and where you mount it ,, total length straight out is aprox 9".

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 should cut two different holes, on one side use the template provided (about 12x9 inch irregular shape) plus mounting holes, on the other side about 8 inch round hole. If you buy the unit, it will be apparent.

It has a nut on the bottom. My mount is too big but the screw size looks correct. It just makes it to the nut.Would have to buy an extension screw from a big box store.The bottom is 1 3/16 in in diameter. That is the largest it will fit over.

I can set it to trim to the length that I select. I'm still learning to use it efficiently and need to mount it more securely, but so far have trimmed and loaded over a 100 rounds with it and am satisfied with performance.

Yes, you can cut it to whatever size you want actually--I left a review about how that was done. I have mine mounted in where a lazy suzan would normally be.
