All, I am not skilled in pool table repair or installation. I had a guy move my table, install new cloth, and pockets. It was fine for about 6 months but I notice the side pockets seem loose. What I mean is that one side of the side pocket is secured by a bolt but the other side does not have a bolt. Both pockets seem to have same issue. I am not sure if something shifted or came loose. He is supposed to come back and fix it but I was hoping to do it so I don't have to wait on him. Can anyone give me info on how to accomplish this? It is a Brunswick Ventura II 9 foot table. I can still play on it but would like to fix this. Thanks for any help.

A lot of installers only install one bolt per side pocket,
Remove a pocket bolt and take it to your local hardware store and purchase a bolt that matches the thickness and thread pitch, also get a washer and lock washer. Make sure you get the proper length bolt, cut it to length if the bolt you find is to long. I would hate to hear about a rail blowed out the top because of to long of a bolt....
