Extension brackets can project the
installation brackets up to 2 ½” from the
mounting surface.
Connect the installation brackets with
the machine screw and speed nut
which are included with each extension
bracket. Be sure to use the same hole on
all the extension brackets, so that each
installation bracket projects the same
distance from the mounting surface.
Make sure the tops of the extension brackets are
perfectly horizontal and aligned at the same height and use two
screws to attach to wall. Please refer back to Section D for details.

If installing your shade to a door, we recommend installing hold down
brackets to prevent the shade from
swaying when the door is opened
and closed.
With the shade at its full drop, place
the pins on the hold down brackets
into the holes in the bottom rail end
caps and mark where to drill the
mounting holes.
Attach the hold down brackets with one screw through the side hole
or two screws through the end holes. Be sure both bracket pins are
aligned and level.

Spacer blocks are used to project
the installation brackets away from
the mounting surface when
additional shade clearance
is needed. Spacer blocks are
usually used when the shade is
mounted above the trim.
Each spacer block increases
clearance by 3/8”; use a maximum
of two per installation bracket.
Check that your installation screws are long enough to securely
attach the installation bracket and the spacer blocks.
Make sure the tops of the installation brackets are perfectly
horizontal and aligned at the same height before tightening
the screws. Please refer back to Section D for details.
With inside mount applications, one installation
screw is used through the top of each
installation bracket into the underside of
the top of the window frame.
If more than two brackets are required,
additional brackets are spaced evenly between
the two end brackets. Please refer back to
Section D for details.
To attach the brackets, the flat surface of the top frame must be at least 1”
deep. If less than 1” deep swivel brackets are required.

Important Note:
Screws provided are for installation into wooden frames only. For metal surfaces,
use suitable sheet metal screws and pre-drill holes. For concrete, stone, brick,
or tile, use a carbide drill and appropriate anchors and screws. For wallboard or
plaster, use hollow wall anchors and/or longer screws to reach framing or stud. In
all cases, follow the fastener manufacturer’s recommendations.

IF ORDERED AS INSIDE MOUNT (IB)
IF ORDERED AS OUTSIDE MOUNT (OB)
1.With outside mount applications, two installation screws are
used to attach the back of each installation bracket to the flat vertical
surface. In most instances this will be a flat area on the window trim.
In some instances Spacer Blocks may need to be installed to project
the installation brackets away from the mounting surface (typically
when shades are mounted above the trim). If Spacer Blocks are
required, proceed to Section F. Extension brackets can project the
installation brackets up to 2 ½” from mounting surface. If Extension
Brackets are required, proceed to Section G.
Before tightening the screws, check to be sure the tops of all the
installation brackets are perfectly horizontal and aligned at the same
height. Please refer back to Section D for details. (To attach the
brackets, the flat vertical surface must be at least 1/2” high.)

IF ORDERED AS INSIDE MOUNT SWIVEL (Optional)
Swivel brackets can be used on inside mount (IB) only. One screw is used
to attach each swivel bracket. Swivel brackets require less mounting depth
than standard installation brackets. (Bracket attachment requires a solid
mounting surface only 1/2” deep. Shades will mount securely but will not
fully recess.)
