Granite Grabbers Work As Advertised
One evening, shortly after I purchased my recently flipped home, I loaded the dishwasher only to find out that it was not attached to our sparkling granite countertop. I found this out when the dishwasher fell forward from the weight of the dishes in the pulled out upper rack. Nice....
This was one of many 'surprises' of my home purchase. After that happened I set out to get the problem fixed. I figured there must be a way to mount the dishwasher bracket to the granite. The brackets are normally screwed into the underside of a counter. Good granite installers will put a layer of plywood underneath the counter so that you can mount the brackets to the wood. Mine, of course, didn't have any plywood, or any pre-drilled holes. I inquired as to how much it would cost to do this from a granite installer, and the price was in the $100's. Wow...
Then I found Granite Grabbers. The idea was simple enough. An epoxy glue strip attached to a metal plate with the screw hole pre-drilled for the bracket screw. But would it hold the weight of a full dishwasher rack? I didn't have many (read: any) other choices, so I bought a set.
8 months later they're still holding and have held up the maximum weight I could ever put in the upper rack. So if you're facing the same situation with a mounting a dishwasher to a granite countertop, definitely get these. They work well.
