Roller and Sunscreen Installation Inside fit
Step 1 Inside fit
 | Carefully remove outer plastic wrapper, then slowly peel tape off middle wrap. Release the brackets, screws and 2 small clear stoppers from the plastic wrap. Set aside the stoppers they are vital to Step 3. Remove plastic and rubber band from chain. Examine your pair of brackets, notice one has a circle cut out and one has a cross cut out. These correspond to the Roller Blinds end mechanisms. The cross cut out is for the chain side. The circle cut out is for the non chain side. Be sure to place the correct bracket at the correct side of your window recess. Position brackets in a U shape (refer to photo) inside window recess 5mm back from the front of the frames edge. Use a cordless drill to fix a bracket at each end with screws provided. Two screws per bracket is ideal. There are multiple possible screw points, you can decide which is best, e.g. screw through the side or screw through the top. |
Step 2 Inside fit
 | Examine your blind end mechanisms, notice how the non chain end has a plastic pin. That pin mechanism has spring in it that can compress. The pin end lines up with the circle bracket. The chain end mechanism has a centre hook on it that slots into the cross bracket. The hook needs to point downwards into the lowest point of the cross shape on the bracket. The chain mechanism also has a half circle chain guard, this needs to be facing the top of the frame at an equal level. Insert the non chain end (pin end) of the blind into the circle bracket. The pin end spring will compress enough to allow you place the chain end up and into the cross bracket. Push the hook into the cross bracket, locking the hook into place. This should feel very secure. Once securely in place, roll blind up and down to test it is rolling straight and even. If it's rolling on an angle contact us with a photo in an email and we will email you back a simple trick to help you even out your blinds rolling function.

Step 3 Inside fit
 | The last step is crucial to correct installation of all Roller Blinds. Two clear plastic stoppers must be placed on the chain to prevent the fabric rolling off the blind tube. If you fail to do this step there is a high possibility your blind fabric will completely separate from the tube. Each blind is provided with two stoppers. Stoppers are difficult to remove so be sure to do the correct placement. First Stopper: Roll the blind down until it reaches the bottom of the window frame, (no more than the height you ordered). There is extra fabric on the roll but do not roll further than the bottom of the window frame. Place one stopper at the top of the chain at the front of the blind. This sets the lower limit. Second Stopper: Roll the blind up and place a stopper at the top of the chain at the back of the blind. This sets the top limit. TIP: Be careful to not pull chain too hard in either upward or downward direction otherwise your stoppers could ping off, putting the blind at risk of loosing its fabric. Always pull chain in a straight downward motion, never drag it across the fabric edge or you could pull chain out of drive unit and/or fray fabric. |
OPTIONAL: Chain Safe
The Chain Safe is an optional extra that will securely hold your chain in place against the window recess or wall. We send them with your blind only if you ordered them. Chain safety devices are required by law in many countries as loose chains can pose a risk to young children. New Zealand does not currently have legislation for chain safety devices to be added to blind chains, but it is an easy to implement precautionary measure we offer to help keep your loved ones safe. Some people also just like the neat and tidy look.
To fasten the Chain Safe hook the bottom of the chain around the clip of the Chain Safe and position it either inside the recess or to the frame or wall (determined by whether the blind is fitted to the inside or outside of the window).
Make sure the position of the Chain Safe will not interfere with the blind once fully wound down. Allow for some slack in the chain so you may still operate the blind easily. Once you are satisfied with the position drill into place.
Roller and Sunscreen Installation Outside fit
Step 1 Outside fit
 | Carefully remove outer plastic wrapper, then slowly peel tape off middle wrap. Release the brackets, screws and two small clear stoppers from the plastic wrap. Set aside the stoppers they are vital to Step 3. Remove plastic and rubber band from chain. Examine your pair of brackets, notice one has a circle cut out and one has a cross cut out. These correspond to the Roller Blinds end mechanisms. The cross cut out is for the chain side. The circle cut out is for the non chain side. Be sure to place the correct bracket at the correct side of your window recess. Remind yourself of where you measured for the blind to be installed. You can pre-drill your holes using a 4mm drill bit so you don't spilt any timber framework. Position brackets in a D shape (refer to photo) at each end flush with the face of the frame and drill into place using a cordless drill and screws provided. Two screws per bracket is ideal. There are multiple possible screw points, you can decide which is best. |
Step 2 Outside fit
 | Examine your blind end mechanisms, notice how the non chain end has a plastic pin. That pin mechanism has spring in it that can compress. The pin end lines up with the circle bracket. The chain end mechanism has a centre hook on it that slots into the cross bracket. The hook needs to point downwards into the lowest point of the cross shape on the bracket.

If it's rolling on an angle contact us with a photo in an email and we will email you back a simple trick to help you even out your blinds rolling function. Lastly, End Caps: Remove blind from brackets first by rolling blind fully up, holding the roll from the chain end and pushing towards the non chain end to compress the pin, lift blind up and out of both brackets. Now that blind is down, tap the end cap covers on over the brackets. Reinsert blind into brackets. These are hard to remove so do it last when you are 100% happy with the placement and fit of the blind. |
