To install our blinds, please use the tools and parts included with our printed blinds.
1. Open the package. When you open the box, check the instructions and make sure all the parts are there. Grab a drill/driver, some drill bits and a pencil to mark the locations of the bracket holes.
2. Mark the bracket holes. Hold the bracket in place to mark the holes. An inch or so from the edge is usually a safe spot for an inside mount, as shown. Look at your blinds and make sure the bracket won’t interfere with the internal mechanisms. If your blind came with a template for the bracket holes, use that to mark them.
3. Drill pilot holes. Drill pilot holes to make it easier to install the bracket screws.
4. Install the brackets. Hold the window blind brackets in place, line up the holes and install the screws. Repeat with the second bracket. If you don’t have a drill/driver, a screwdriver may work, though it will take longer and could be difficult if the window frame is hardwood or metal.
5. Snap in the blinds. Pop the end caps onto the top rail of the blinds, then place the top rail into the brackets. The blinds shown here snap right onto the brackets.
With some blinds, the top rail fits into the brackets and you snap down a little flap. Use the lift cord to test the blinds to make sure they go up and down properly.
6. Hold-down brackets. Most blinds also include hold-down brackets. Once installed, you can keep the bottom rail hooked on the brackets so the blinds won’t flap around when the window is open on a breezy day.
