SelectBlinds Roller Shade Installation Instructions

BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Carpenters Level
- Power drill or Phillips head Screwdriver
- ¼" Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shading may be
required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require
the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile or stone
need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always pre-drill holes in
wood to avoid splitting.

Step 1. BRACKET INSTALLATION
If the headrail or roller does not sit level, the fabric will not roll up
evenly which could damage the edges of the shading fabric.
Mount roller brackets as necessary, or use shims for headrail
shades if necessary to level brackets.
For shades with headrail, the End brackets
should be located with centerlines 2" in from
each end. Depending on the width of the
shading, necessary additional brackets may
be evenly spaced between the two end
brackets.
For shades with NO headrail, the installation brackets are always
mounted so that the inner surfaces face each other. For Shades with
a fascia, the brackets are mounted with the open end down. It is very

Step 2. HANGING THE SHADE
Shades with NO Headrail or Fascia
Once the brackets are secured and level, the fabric roll can be
inserted. Make sure your hands are clean to avoid soiling the fabric.
While facing the inside of the shade, be sure the clutch and roller end
plug are inserted into the roller. Hold the
shade with the bottom of the clutch facing
the floor, and the beaded cord hanging
straight down.
Insert the foot of the control-
side bracket into the slotted
center hole of the clutch. Set
