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 Ceiling 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 ceiling where the back
top of the rod is resting.
2. Place the front panel on the front
rod. Hold it up to the spot you wish
to install it making sure there is
enough spacing from back rod to
where the back of drapery will hit.
Usually about 2 1⁄2” away from back
rod marking. After you’ve located
the ideal location, use a pencil to
mark the ceiling where the back of
the rod is resting.
3. Remove the panel from the rods
and then center the rods over the
window opening at the desired
spot. 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
Mounting the Brackets
have a spliced rod, mark where
that splice is on the wall since you
will need to add the special splice
bracket at that point. 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.
4. Place ceiling brackets level
against ceiling at the marked
spots & mark the screw hole loca-
tions for all brackets for front and
back rods.

the end and the second carrier of the
side you won’t be opening it from so

beginning of the end cap to prevent
the master carrier from moving all the
way to the end. (B)

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.
