How to Install 2" Deluxe Cordless Faux Wood Blinds

Remove the blind from the package and keep the packaging until the blind operates to your satisfaction.

Check that you have all the hardware for your blind's width.

Choose fasteners for your mounting surface: the provided 1 1/4" hexagonal head screws for wood, wall anchors or expansion bolts for drywall or plaster, and sheet metal screws for metal (anchors, bolts and metal screws are not provided).

Mark the bracket locations on the mounting surface, placing the end brackets 3 1/8" to 3 7/8" from each end of the headrail and spacing the others evenly.

Use a level to make sure all the brackets line up.

Leave the minimum distance from the front of the wall or frame to the back of the brackets for your mount type (see notes).

Peel the paper off the double-sided adhesive tape on each bracket and stick the bracket at its marked location.

Secure each bracket with two 1 1/4" screws, using wall anchors in drywall or plaster.

Snap each valance clip plug into its receptor.

Attach the plug-and-receptor assemblies into the channel on the back of the valance, and attach the valance returns if you have them.

Hook the receptors onto the headrail and space them evenly, keeping them clear of the drum supports, the wand tilter inside the headrail, and the brackets.

Pull the valance, together with the clip plugs, off the receptors before hanging the blind, leaving the receptors on the headrail.

Without a valance, attach the headrail directly to the brackets.

With a valance, make sure the valance clip receptors are on the headrail first.

Either hook the front of the headrail into the brackets first and rotate the back up until it clicks, or hook the back in first and rotate the front up until it clicks.

If you have a split wand, push the upper piece fully into the wand connector hole.

Insert the wand's tilt connector into the bottom of the headrail until it clicks.

Leave the wand in place once installed; don't take it down.

If you have valance returns, join each return to the valance with a valance return connector first.

Decide on the final valance position.

Attach the valance (with any returns) to the headrail by pushing the plugs into the receptors.

Place each hold-down bracket vertically against a flat surface, parallel to the bottom rail.

Line up the bracket's protruding tab with the hole on the side of the bottom rail and fasten it.

Fit both ends of the bottom rail onto the hold-down brackets to keep the blind in place.

Tilt the slats: rotate the wand until the slats reach the angle you want.

Lower the blind: open the slats to any angle, keep them even, and pull the bottom rail down by hand.

Raise the blind: gently tilt the slats toward you at 45 degrees, then lift the bottom rail up by hand.

If you have a valance, pull it off with its clip plugs first.

Insert a screwdriver into the gap at the front of the bracket and twist it to release the headrail.

Tilt the headrail down and out of the brackets.
