Steps to install
|
- Determining Mounting Method.
Your blind was made to be installed as either an inside or outside mount. Follow
the instructions that apply to your blind. Unpack your new blind and check the packaging
carefully to assure all parts have been removed before discarding the shipping containers.For
an Outside Mount, hold the blind level and centered against the
window casing. Mark the casing with a pencil just below the headrail on each end.
Also mark the window casings 1/8" beyond the ends of the headrail. The right and
left installation brackets will be placed on these marks. Remember to keep headrail
level-even if your window is not!Very Important for optimum blinds
function.
For an Inside Mount make sure the headrail is level and clear of
obstructions. Make pencil marks below the headrail on each end. The right hand and
left hand installation brackets will be placed on these marks. Remember to keep
headrail level- even if you window is not.
- Attach Brackets to Mounting Surface
Caution:Use proper screws the mounting screws included are
for wood or sheet metal surfaces. For other surfaces obtain appropriate fasteners
and install them according to the manufacturer's instructions.The end brackets may
be mounted using two screws in several different orientations depending on your
needs:
A. Inside the Jams (inside mount)
B. To the outside face of the window casing or wall (outside mount).
- Hold Down Brackets (optional)
Note: Not recommended for single control blinds. Recommended
for OB mount blinds (ie: door installation)
Hold down brackets are used to keep the bottom of the blind from swaying and were
supplied if requested when ordering the blind. Some blinds have bottomrail end caps
with a hole in the center; on these blinds, push a hold down pin into the hole in
the end caps.
