The parts of my dining room chandelier have come loose. I do not know how to screw them back together. I know "right is tight", but I don't know whether to turn the screw right or the parts of the fixture. Also, the wires get tangled whenever I turn any part? Can you help?
Hello Hopeless,
Don't twist the arms on your fixture. All you will do is possibly pull the wires apart. The proper way to tighten the pieces is look where all the arms of your fixture are connected. That part is called a cluster. To access this piece you might have to take a lot of your fixture apart. On the inside of this cluster there should be nuts that hold the arms on to the cluster itself. This is where you need to tighten. And right is right when you start tightening the nuts. Definitely not any easy job depending on how elaborate your chandelier is, but this is the right way to tighten the arms. Good luck!
