What are the Dimensions of the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket?
Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 08/03/2025
Question:
what is the actual distance between the mounting holes, short way? The info States it is 1 5/8. But, the first reviewer states he mounted it on a one and a half wide frame with 3/8 bolts. this would not be possible if the hole spacing dimension is 1 5/8. One and a half is a standard frame so it does not make sense to have an incompatible bracket. Hope its going to work because its the only thing available.

Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out!
I took a trip out to the warehouse and verified the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket # CES65WR has mounting bolt holes measuring 1-5/8" apart, and the bolt holes themselves have a 3/8" diameter.
It's worth noting that the review you're talking about is for a different CE Smith bracket so what they said doesn't quite reflect everything with this hanger.
Hopefully this helps!
