Included in your order is all the hardware necessary for a
normal installation. Depending on the mounting surface,
fasteners other than the screws provided may be required.
Wall board and plaster require the use of anchors such as
expansion or toggle bolts. Bricks, tile and stone need special
plugs and drill bits. Wood should always be pre-drilled to
avoid splitting.
Professional installation is also available in most areas,

NOTE: Measure and mark all predrilled locations
before installing.
• Measure 2" in from the ends of the headrail and mark
the holes location on the mounting surface.
• Space additional screws evenly between the end holes.
• Adjust the cassette projection to accommodate
obstructions to the bottom rail, such as window cranks or
handles, using the spacer blocks provided.
• Before installing the cassette directly to the sill or wall you
must first remove the fascia and the shade from the cassette.
• To remove the fascia, push down on the face of the fascia
and pull the inner edge shown and swing out to disengage
from the end plate on each side.
• Next remove the shade from the cassette by retracting the pin
on the idle side using the dial and turning it counter-clockwise,
then pull the shade away from the control side bracket.

• Align the tops of each installation cassette to the top of the
window opening and attach using the screws provided,
drilling through the predrilled holes.
• Adjust the cassette placement to accommodate
obstructions to the bottom rail, such as a window crank or
handle.
• Use a carpenter’s level to check that the cassette is level and
aligned. Attach using the screws provided and drill through
the predrilled holes.
INSIDE MOUNT SHADE INSTALLATION
INTO CASSETTE
OUTSIDE MOUNT
• Attach the back of each installation cassette using one
screw per predrilled hole.
• Use a carpenter’s level to check that the cassette is level
and aligned.
Once you have installed the Cassette now it is time to
reassemble the shade back into the Cassette. Insert the
control side first making sure the mechanism is turned just
like it was when removed, chain guard turned up towards
Cassette so chain is visable(picture below). Next push the idle
pin in and slowly insert the shade into the groove provided
by the internal bracket until the pin snaps into place. Then
reattach the CCL guide to the end plate making sure the
complete piece snaps into place in the correct groves.
• Align the square or round end caps and slide them
onto the end plates of the cassette. You will hear a
click when they are in place.
• Test the shade to ensure
it is operating correctly.
Once you have the shade back into the Cassette now it is
time to reattach the Fascia. The Fascia sits in a grove on
top of the Cassette and snaps into the end plates on the
right and left side. Insert the Round or Square fascia onto
the Cassette back grove & rotate down to clip into position
on the right and left side, you will hear it snap into place.
The final step is to attach the end caps on the right and left
side of the Cassette.

TENSIONER INSTALLATION
After installing the window covering, the Cord Tensioner must
be mounted for the window covering to operate correctly.
When properly installed, the Cord Tensioner functions as
a safety device that makes the pull cord less accessible
to children.
NOTE: If the mounting screws will not be secured into a wood
stud, use wall anchors. For metal surfaces, pre-drill the holes
and use sheet metal screws.
IMPORTANT!
• Install the Cord Tensioner in a location that minimizes
accessibility to children and pets and where it will not
interfere with its operation.
• Only supplied Cord Tensioners and hardware should be used.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
Option A - Inside mount without an anchor

a mounting bracket.
• Locate the Cord Tensioner as close to the window as
possible to minimize accessibility by children and pets.
Be sure the Cord Tensioner is not placed in the path of
the window covering when raising and lowering.

and bottom caps onto the
side channel pieces.

cap to the side guide ear for
the correct position. Lift out
the fabric and bottom rail to
insert the fabric into the
side guides.
• Slide the channels all the
way up until they touch
the bottom of the cassette.
Hold a level on the siderails
and adjust until it is level
vertically. Then fasten with
screws in the pre-drilled holes.

of the side channels, make
sure the side guide locks
are inserted.

driver and rotate the locks
clockwise to secure the side
guides together.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Extension Brackets are used to project the shade up to 3”
from the mounting surface. Extension brackets are available
at an additional charge and are ideal if your shade must clear
an obstruction such as a sliding glass door handle or window
crank. Extension brackets require a flat vertical mounting
surface of at least ⅞".
EXTENSION BRACKETS
To assemble and mount
• Attach each mounting bracket to an extension bracket by
using the nuts bolts and washers provided.
• Mount the extension bracket to the wall per the instructions
for an “Outside Mount”, using a level and making certain
that all mounting brackets are level and project the same
distance from the mounting surface. For maximum stability,
install the screws diagonally from one another.
• Install the shade per the directions for “Shade Installation”.
SPACERS
Spacers are available for use on windows with a projected
molding. They are ⅜" thick and allow the shade to be
mounted flush with the outside edge of any standard window
molding. They are available by contacting our Customer Care
Department at 800-800-3329.
Hold down brackets are used primarily on shades mounted to
doors or in motor homes. There are two small holes in the end
caps. Use the pin on the hold down bracket to push through
the hole in the end cap.
HOLD DOWN BRACKETS
• With the shade lowered to it’s full length, place the pin of
each hold down bracket into the hole in each end of the
bottom rail.
• Mark the mounting surface, either to the side or back of the
window frame, through the holes in the hold down bracket.
Make sure the hold down brackets are level and aligned with
each other.
• Raise the shade and screw the hold down brackets into the
mounting surface using the screws provided.
• Lower the shade and flex the
hold down bracket outward
so that the pin can be
inserted into the hole in the
end cap.
