blinds 2go Double Roller Blinds Installation Guide
We’ve made a handy video version of this fitting guide, just click the play button to view it. If you prefer to print the instructions or simply to follow them step-by-step, just keep reading.
Before you begin
The front roller blind is the highest and closest to you, so make sure that when marking the place where you will place the brackets, the rounded part of the bracket is pointing downwards.
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer three methods of installation:
Top Tip
Top-Fixing
Where the brackets are screwed into the lintel (or ‘ceiling’ of the recess)
Face-Fixing
Where the brackets screw into a facing surface (a wall or window frame)
Side-Fixing
Where the brackets are screwed into the side walls of the recess ****
Top-fixing or face-fixing are recommended for most installations, whereas side-fixing is only recommended if the width you gave us was taken right at the top of the recess.
Control Side
On the control side, clip the chain runner attachment into the slot in the
center of the bracket.
For safety reasons, always ensure that the top of the blind is installed at least 150cm (1500mm) from the floor.
Fitting the blind
- Install the rear blind first. Begin by placing the spring-loaded pin into the lower cross-shaped hole on the bracket. Push the blind toward the bracket so the spring-loaded pin depresses.
- Keeping the pin depressed, lift the sidewinder end of the blind upwards so the blind is level and the chain is hanging directly down from the bottom of the sidewinder, and slot the pegs of the control into the cross-section of the bracket.
- Repeat the process for the front blind placing the pin into the cross-shaped hole on the bracket and lifting the sidewinder side up to slot into the cross-section.
- Take the chain for the top (front) blind and drape the back part of the chain over the chain runner so that the chain sits forward, preventing it from tangling with the other blind’s chain.
Child Safety
The cord retaining device must be installed at the maximum distance possible
from the control mechanism to prevent looped cords from becoming slack. Place
the retaining device on the wall and mark the position of the screw hole(s)
with a pencil.
Attach the retaining device to the wall using the fixings provided.
Warning
Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes, and
inner cords that operate the product. To avoid strangulation and entanglement,
keep cords out of the reach of young children. Cords may become wrapped around
a child’s neck.
Move beds, cots, and furniture away from window covering cords. Do not tie
cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
