How to Install Cordless Day/Night Single Cellular Shades

1. 1

   Check that the package includes the mounting hardware kit.

2. 2

   Gather your tools.

3. 3

   If you are mounting into drywall or plaster, get #6 plastic anchors (not included).

• 18" to 36" wide: 2 mounting brackets
• 36" to 48" wide: 3 mounting brackets
• 48" to 72" wide: 4 mounting brackets
• 72" to 96" wide: 5 mounting brackets
• 2 1 1/8" screws per mounting bracket
• 2 hold-down brackets per shade, with 2 1/2" screws per hold-down
• 1 bottom rail handle (cordless shades); 1 middle rail handle (top-down/bottom-up cordless shades)
• The kit includes one extra screw of each type.
• Drill with a 3/32" bit for screws and a 1/4" bit for wall anchors.

1. 1

   Place a mounting bracket about 1" to 6" from each end of the headrail.

2. 2

   For wider shades with 3 or more brackets, space the extra brackets as evenly as possible between the two outer ones.

3. 3

   Keep the brackets clear of the cords and any moving parts inside the headrail.

1. 1

   Clip the brackets into the headrail, 2" to 6" in from each side, spacing any extra brackets evenly.

2. 2

   Hold the shade in place where you want it and mark with a pencil the back of each bracket where it touches the inside of the window frame.

3. 3

   Remove the brackets from the headrail and line them up with your marks.

4. 4

   Pre-drill the holes with a 5/64" drill bit.

5. 5

   Screw the brackets in place with 1 1/8" screws.

1. 1

   Clip the brackets into the headrail the same way.

2. 2

   Hold the shade level at the height you want and center it over the window.

3. 3

   Mark the location of each bracket with a pencil.

4. 4

   Remove the brackets from the headrail and line up the top of each one with your marks.

5. 5

   Pre-drill the holes with a 5/64" drill bit.

6. 6

   Screw the brackets to the wall or window molding with 1 1/8" screws.

1. 1

   Lift the headrail so the front edge of each bracket sits directly under the inner front edge of the headrail.

2. 2

   Push the headrail up until the flexible tab at the bottom of each bracket snaps into place at the back of the headrail.

3. 3

   Give the headrail a gentle pull to make sure it is secure.

This step applies only to cordless shades.

1. 1

   Attach the handle to the bottom rail. The handle is designed to keep your hands off the shade fabric.

2. 2

   On a top-down/bottom-up shade, attach the second handle to the middle rail.

Hold-down brackets keep the shade in a permanently lowered position.

1. 1

   Lower the shade and mark the outside ends of the bottom rail with a pencil.

2. 2

   Line the hold-down brackets up with the marks and screw them in place with 1/2" screws.

3. 3

   Insert the pins on the brackets into the holes at both ends of the bottom rail.

1. 1

   To lower the shade, pull straight down on the handle on the bottom rail.

2. 2

   To raise the shade, place one hand under the bottom rail and slowly lift it to the height you want.

3. 3

   Top-down/bottom-up: to lower or raise the shade from the top, hold the handle on the middle rail and slowly pull straight down or push straight up.
