blind. Mark where the control end bracket is to be installed and the idle end. Drill, plug and attach brackets.
Ensure that the positions where the fasteners run through the brackets are secured into brick, or into the wall’s
structural support. NB: Ensure that the brackets are fitted level horizontally.

measurement as the bottom hooks (step 5). If using bungee cord loops these are attached at the end of the
bottom rail.
3. ADJUSTING SPRING: Lock spring and attach a shifter to the Pin. Wind the shifter clockwise to apply tension.
Use the size chart to determine how many turns of tension are required. Link to Spring Chart Tension Below.
refer to picture 1. Do NOT let go of the shifter while tensioning as the spring has a lot of force in it. Do NOT try
and over tension the spring. When the right amount of tension has been applied, drop
the holding tab down and wind the spring back until it engages the pin
