The right installation for a perfect finish

Getting Started

What You’ll Need:

1–2 people

Cordless drill and 3mm drill bit

Screwdriver with 150mm bit

Pencil, step ladder, tape measure

Screws (provided)

Spirit level (optional)

In the Box:

2 x Custom roller blinds

3 x Brackets (2 x male for the control/motor sides, and 1x intermediate bracket)

2 x Bracket covers (outside mount only)

6 x Screws (for timber installation)

2 x Stop ball (chain drive only)

2 x Child safety cleat with screw (chain drive only)

Plus, if you ordered a pelmet:

1 x Pelmet

Spring-loaded pelmet brackets (quantity will depend on you blind width)

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1 – Attaching Your Brackets

Your linked blinds consist of two blinds, each with independent control.

With your blinds, you will have received:

2 x male bracket

1 x intermediate bracket

Hold the male brackets in position on either end of your window frame where they will be fixed. Using a grey lead pencil, mark where the screw holes will go.

Your intermediate bracket should be positioned exactly at the point you marked when measuring – usually over the centre of the window, door join, or mullion.

Pre-drill the holes for each bracket if required. This is particularly recommended in older homes to avoid splitting timber, and for outside mounts.

Using a cordless screwdriver, fix all brackets securely into the window recess or architraves.

Step 2 – Installing the Left-Hand Blind

Always install the left-hand blind first, as it features the larger pin end designed to fit into the intermediate bracket.

Start by inserting the control end of the blind into the male bracket on the left.

Hold the control end in position and move to the opposite end.

Push the pin end into the intermediate bracket using your finger and slide the blind into place.

The blind should click in easily and securely with 1mm clearance.

Step 3 – Installing the Right-Hand Blind

The second blind (on the right) has a smaller metal pin end designed to link into Blind #1.

Start by inserting the control end of the blind into the male bracket on the right.  

Before installing, check that the chain hangs evenly from both sides and that the chain guide is facing down. If motor ensure the flat section is facing down.

Hold the control end in position and move to the opposite end. 

On the metal pin end, retract the pin by turning the clear plastic cog /wheel in an anti-clockwise direction. 

Present the blind to the intermediate bracket and align it carefully to the centre with the pin end of Blind #1.

Turn the wheel clockwise to release the metal pin so that it slides into the pin end housing of Blind #1. Insure you have approx. 1mm clearance.

Once installed, the blind should have a 1.5mm – 2mm gap (called the ‘float’) between brackets to allow smooth operation.

If the blind feels too tight or doesn’t roll properly, check bracket positioning and adjust as needed. You can also extend the pin end slightly for a better fit.

Important Notes for Motorised Blinds 

No ball stops or child safety cleats are required for motorised blinds, as they are completely cordless.

Once installed, you’ll need to pair your remote with the motor or smart home.

Install Safety Features (Chain Only)

Lower blinds fully and install stop balls to prevent over-roll

Attach child safety cleats securely with the screw provided, insure the chain is not to tight

Required by law to comply with safety standards 

Install Pelmet (If Ordered)

A Pelmet adds a polished finish to your roller blind and helps reduce dust. Watch the video for a full walkthrough.

Install the spring-loaded brackets level to the architrave or wall. The brackets can sit 150mm from the outside edges to insure a secure fixing. This can be adjusted if necessary 

Attach the pelmet to the spring-loaded brackets provided with slight tilt motion.

Your roller blind brackets are already installed inside the pelmet

Always hold the motor end when installing and keep blind level at all times.
