STEP 1 - GETTING STARTED OVERVIEW
Before you begin, check the accompanying diagram to make sure you have all the parts you
need. You’ll need to make sure the surface you intend to install your hardware is sturdy enough
to accommodate the brackets. If you’re screwing directly into a surface this means locating
wood studs that are strong enough to securely bond with the included screws. Otherwise,
you’ll need to use a secure fastener (as illustrated) but please note this piece is not included.
Tools & Parts Wall Mount Double Return Rod Set
WALLBOARD OR PLASTER:
Hollow wall applications: Use a secure fastener designed
speci cally for this purpose.
METAL:
Prepare by pre-drilling holes and then using the included screws.
CONCRETE, STONE, BRICK OR TILE:
Use a masonry drill and surface-speci c plugs, anchors, or screws. When selecting a fastener
be sure it’s designed to support the weight of the product being installed (if you’re not sure,
either give us a call or ask a professional at your local hardware store). Once obtained, follow
the fastener manufacturer’s instructions regarding proper installation.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL YOUR HARDWARE:
Pencil, screwdriver, ¼" nut driver, level, and a drill with a 7⁄64" drill bit.
Note: It’s important to monitor the amount of pressure you apply when using a drill. If the
screws are too tight this may cause the screw itself to break off in the wall or window frame.

Mounting the Brackets
1. Place the panel on the rod. To
ensure it drapes at the correct
length, hold it up to the spot you
wish to install it; this will allow you
to raise or lower your treatment as
desired. After you’ve located the
ideal location, use a pencil to mark
the wall where the top of the rod
is resting.
2. Remove the panel from the rod and
then center the rod over the win-
dow opening at the desired height.
Using the pencil, mark where the
ends of each rod are positioned; if
you’re using a center bracket, note
the middle point between these
two spots as well. If you have more
than one center bracket spread
these evenly between the two end
brackets and center point. If you
have a spliced rod, mark where that
splice is as well on the wall since
you will need to add the special
splice bracket at that point as well.
Measure 6” inward from the marks
you’ve made on both ends and
mark those spots. This is where the
end brackets will be installed.
3. Place center of bracket cover plate
level against wall at the marked
spots. Using a pencil, lightly draw
a circle around the base of the
bracket onto wall, see Figure A.
Check to make sure the circles are
level & aligned with each other.
Remove mounting plate and
center it inside of the circle outline
on wall. Mark the screw hole loca-
tions for all brackets.See Figure B.
Attach the metal mounting plate
to the wall, aligning the holes in
the plate with the marks made
in the previous step, see Figure B.
Be sure and attach the plate to
the wall with the appropriate
mounting hardware. (It is always
recommended to try and attach
to the wood studs inside the wall.
Where this is not possible please
use a wall anchor suitable to carry
the weight of your hardware se-
lection as well as your draperies
and any accessories.)
4. Place bracket cover plate on top of
mounting plate and thread in the
post. Make sure to screw on the
post very tightly. Do not leave any
play or wiggle room.

Front Rod
Your track rod will come with all master
carriers and regular carriers pre-installed.
If you need to add or take out some
carriers depending on your drapery,
unscrew the return from the rod.
Remove the carrier & end stop and either
add or take out the carriers needed.
SPLIT DRAPERY (A)
Once all carriers have been placed in the
track, for split drapery, place end stop in
between the rst carrier from each end
and the second carrier so end of drape
does not move when drape is closed.
ONE WAY DRAW DRAPERY (B)
For one way draw drapery, place end
stop in between the first carrier from
the end and the second carrier of the
side you won’t be opening it from so
the end of drape does not move when
drape is closed.
Place another end stop right before
the beginning of the end cap to pre-
vent master carrier from moving all the
way to the end.
Depending on your order, you may
have received a rod connector.
A rod connector is the short piece of
metal placed inside each end of the
rods in a multi-segment system to join
them together.
Join track sections together and fasten
securely with set screws.
Attach the splice cover to the front rod.
