Mount the Hidden Installation Brackets
— Inside or Ceiling Mount (Residential Applications)
Bracket Shims (Optional)
Bracket shims are used to gain clearance for
inside or ceiling mount blinds.
NOTE: Bracket shims may also be used
to level the blind whenever the mounting
surface is uneven.
Attach the Hidden Installation Brackets
■ Mark 2" to 6" from each end of the headrail.
➤ If more than two hidden installation brackets came with your order, space additional
hidden installation bracket(s) evenly between the two outer hidden installation
brackets and mark their location.
IMPORTANT: Do not position any hidden installation bracket where it will be located
directly above a cable tape ladder, cordlock, or wand tilter. Allow 1" space on each side
whenever possible.
■ If the blind is larger than 60 square feet, position an extra hidden installation bracket at
the cordlock end for added support when raising the blind. With Two-On-One Headrail
blinds, position an extra hidden installation bracket near each cordlock.
■ Center the hidden installation brackets on your marks and mark the location of the
screw holes.
➤ The minimum casement depth
for mounting the hidden installation
brackets is
1
⁄ 2 ".
➤ The minimum casement
depth for a fully recessed
mount is 1
5
⁄ 8 ".
■ Drill the screw holes
using a
3
⁄ 32 " drill bit.
