Thank you for purchasing your new shades. They have

and care, it will provide you with many years of beauty and
trouble-free use.
Please read all instructions before you start so you will be
familiar with the overall process.

and shades will t properly before beginning.
Getting Started
Remove the duo brackets and shades from the packaging.
Keep the packaging until you have successfully installed the
brackets and the shades.
TOOLS REQUIRED
FASTENER NOTES
For outside mount, it is best to attach the bracket to wood
studs. If this is not possible, you will need to purchase special
fasteners (see illustration below for examples).
Here are some HELPFUL TIPS:
• If you are using a special fastener, make sure it is
designed to support the weight of the clutch and shade.
Follow the fastener manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• When drilling into drywall or plaster, use a fastener
designed for hollow wall applications (see illustration).
•When drilling into concrete, stone, brick, or tile, use
appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws (not included).
• When drilling into metal, the included screws are sufcient.
Pre-drill ¹⁄₈” holes.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY
PARTS AND PIECES:
• PACKAGE - Contains two ROLLER shades, two universal
duo brackets, a pair of end caps, installation screws and
four bead chain stops.
1. Installing the Duo Brackets
Use a level to ensure a horizontal position. Both duo
brackets are universal and have cross-shaped holes.
They can be used on either side as well as for WALL, CEILING
or INSIDE MOUNT INSTALLATION.
The outside bracket to bracket should be 1³⁄₈” greater
than the cloth widths.
(This applies to a ROLLER SHADE mounted on the
front and a ROLLER SHADE mounted on the back.)

2. Installing the Back Shade
a) Sort out your shades.
Begin by installing the back shade rst. The transit clip
should be positioned either straight up and down, or
horizontal, in order to line up the idler plunger of the idler
end with the cross shaped hole in the bracket. See
illustration below.
Remove the transit clip so the shade can be pushed into
place.
b) Slip the clutch end into the lower back bracket.
While keeping the idler end in position, lift the shade up
into the bracket and align the clutch end pin into the
middle of the cross-shaped hole. Gently slide in place
and pull down to lock in place.
c) Slip the transit clip back onto the idler end. This ensures
proper spacing and alignment.
