Installing your new blinds is now as simple as 1, 2, 3!
Things you will need:
- Your order sheet
- Pencil or pen
- Phillips screw driver or cordless drill
- 3mm drill bit
- Small steps or ladder depending on how high the window is
Now that you have received delivery of your custom made roller blinds unpack and lay out all the parts supplied.
For each blind you should receive a set of brackets one is a control end bracket lets call it the one with the cross in it.
And the other is a pin end bracket lets call this one the one with the hole in the middle of it.
Also you will find a child safety chain holder device which is an Australian legal requirement and must be fitted.
Also you will find all screws required to install fitting into a timber frame. If you’re fitting to any other surface, plaster, brick or aluminum please let our office know and we can assist you with that.
Ok lets start. Have your original order sheet in front of you as a reference as to what you have ordered for each window.
Recess Mount
If you have ordered a recess mounted blind the brackets will be fitted to the inside of the window frame. Refer to your order sheet and see which side you have ordered the chain
Once you know which side the chain end is to be fitted, install the control end or cross bracket to the front of the recess, hold the bracket into position and with a pencil mark two holes.
When you have marked the holes, using the 3mm drill bit, pre-drill the holes. Then, using the screws provided screw in the bracket.
Repeat the same method to the other side using the pin end bracket the one with the hole in the middle.
Face Mount
If you have ordered a face mounted blind, the brackets will be fitted to the face of the window frame/architrave. Refer to your order sheet and see which side you have ordered the chain.
Once you know which side the chain end is to be fitted, install the control end or cross bracket to the top of the frame/ architrave. Hold the bracket into position and with a pencil mark two holes.
After you have marked the holes, using the 3mm drill bit pre-drill the holes. Then using the screws provided screw in the bracket.
Repeat the same method to the other side using the pin end bracket the one with the hole in the middle.
Hang the blind
Holding the blind with 2 hands insert the pin end into the bracket, you will notice the pin end is spring loaded this will enable you to push back on it, and this is required so to enable you to hook the control end in to position.
You will notice the control end has a hook in the middle and 2 locater lugs on each side of the hook line up the hook and lugs with the same positions on the bracket.
Once they are lined up let the spring push back away from the pin end and locate it self. Pull slightly down to engage the hook into the bracket. Remember, this hook must always be facing in a down position weather you’re fitting to a recess mount or face mount. If you need to remove the blind just simply reverse the procedure. Using 2 hands push up on the control end and disengage the hook from the bracket while pushing into spring loaded pin end and the blind will be free from the brackets.
Once the blind is fitted into position test the blind by rolling it up and down. All our blinds are tested in the factory so the blind should operate correctly.
The only thing you need to do now is fit the child safety device. Clip the device onto the chain with the flat side facing the surface you will be screwing into. Do not pull down too firmly as this will make the blind stiff to operate. Once you have the device into position using the screw provided simply screw it in.
