Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
Inside mount
Use the front two holes in the top of the bracket to fix the ceiling of the
recess.
Outside mount
Use two screws through the back plate to mount it onto a facing surface (a
wall or window frame)
Note that the position of the outermost brackets should be at least 5cm away from the ends of the rail, with any other brackets evenly distributed across the width.
Fitting the shade
Chain Tensioner
Child Safety
Shades with clutch controls come with a continuous chain loop, which should
always be screwed to the wall with the included chain tensioner. The chain
tensioner should be installed on a flat surface, so the bead chain is taut but
not stretched. Be sure not to twist or cross the chain.
On inside mount shades, the tensioner may be attached to the windowsill or the inside of the window frame. For outside mount or wall mount shades, the bracket may be mounted to the exterior of the window frame or the wall. With a pencil, mark the desired location of the screw holes for the tensioner and then drill pilot holes. Then install the tensioner with the screws, making sure that the tensioner is fully installed, so that the spring is pushed in and the chain passes smoothly through the guide.
The chain tensioner forms an important safety function by keeping chain loops
away from small children. Never operate this shade without a functioning and
correctly installed chain tensioner. Please retain these instructions for
future reference. Thank you for purchasing this product. Please read the
instructions and warning carefully before installation to ensure the safe and
satisfactory use of this product.
The difficulty level of this installation is ranked at Level 1. A piece of
cake! If you have questions or get stuck, call our Customer Care Team at

Preparing the No Drill Blinds Headrail
- Pull the lever from below or push down on the mechanism from above to retract the tension boot (See Fig B).
- Install the metal strips or padded adhesive tape on opposite sides of the window opening where you’ll be installing the No-Drill Blinds Headrail. This is optional and only available on larger products.
- Installing the No Drill Blinds Headrail Insert the No-Drill Blinds Headrail into the window opening, make it flush with the top of the window opening, then push on the lever to extend the tension spring and secure the No-Drill Blinds Headrail. (See Fig C)
Installing the Product

product to ensure secure installation and smooth functionality.
Uninstalling the No Drill Blinds Headrail
To uninstall the product, follow step 1 by removing the product from the
headrail and using a screwdriver to unlatch the lever. Make sure to hold the
No Drill Blinds Headrail in place while unlatching the lever. This will
prevent damage to the window or headrail.
Tech Tip
If the fixed boot end was accidentally forced out, use a flathead screwdriver to twist the red “droplets” towards the center and then push it back in.
