How to Install
Roller Blinds

We will lead you through this straightforward process, providing step-by-step instructions.

Which tools are necessary for this task?

A pen
A battery-powered drill with a drill bit suitable for Phillips head screws
Screws for installation (provided, unless installing into a material other than timber)
A metallic tape measure
A stepladder


To what surface are you attaching your blind?

For timber surfaces, it is recommended to pre-drill holes using a 3mm drill bit and secure the blind using the provided self-tapping screws.
When attaching the blind to MDF, no pre-drilling is necessary. Simply use the self-tapping screws provided.
In the case of plaster, we recommend utilizing the Ramset 10mm grip hollow wall anchor for optimal results.
For concrete, stone, brick, or tile surfaces, employ a masonry drill and suitable plugs, anchors, or screws (please note that we do not supply screws for this purpose).


Step 1 – Arranging your blinds

Arrange each blind in the room according to its corresponding label, paying attention to the chain side and roll direction. The positioning of your blind in relation to the window will depend on the window style and your desired fit, as specified in your order.

To prevent leaving print marks, open the packaging using clean hands.

Valuable tip: Place the blinds on a layer of plastic wrap to safeguard them from getting dirty and to easily keep track of their details, reducing the risk of mix-ups.

Step 2 - Installing the Brackets

Regarding Single Roller Blinds

Brackets for Face Fit Installation

Brackets for Recess Fit Installation

1. Position the Chain Drive bracket on the desired side where you want the chain.
2. Mark the screw hole locations using a pencil.
3. If necessary, pre-drill two holes and fasten the bracket securely using screws.
4. Repeat the same procedure for the Pin End bracket.

Regarding Dual Roller Blinds

Brackets for Face Fit Installation at the Top Front

Brackets for Recess Fit Installation at the Top Front

Brackets for Dual Combination Installation (Combining Recess and Face Fit)

1. Position the Chain Drive bracket on the desired side where you want the chain.
2. Mark the screw hole locations using a pencil.
3. If necessary, pre-drill two holes and fasten the bracket securely using screws.
4. For dual combination brackets, pre-drill (if required) four holes and secure both brackets with screws.
5. Repeat the same procedure for the Pin End bracket.

Step 3 - Placing the blinds

Useful Tip

When dealing with large blinds, it is recommended to have assistance in holding them in place.

The Control Brackets

While the blind is still rolled up, insert it into the Chain Drive bracket first. Ensure that the portion where the chain is covered by the bracket is properly aligned at the top. Failing to do so may result in difficulty in winding the blind and potential damage.

Idle End Bracket

Insert the Idle End of the blind into the Pin End bracket, making sure it securely clicks into place.

Step 4 - Lengthening the Idle End

Pin ends offer the flexibility to make adjustments in case of any mismeasurement of the roller blind. By rotating the clear plastic cog, you can extend the pin in 1mm increments, with a maximum extension of 8mm.


Step 5 - Installing the Child Safe Cord Tensioner

Important Reminder:
According to Australian Child Safety Laws, it is mandatory to install a cord tensioner if the chain is positioned less than 1.6m from the floor. This requirement is in place to mitigate the risk of strangulation.

Place the tension device at the bottom of the chain loop, either inside the window frame or in front of it.
Install the tension device in a location that is out of reach of children.
Ensure that there is no excessive tension in the chain by allowing for 2-3cm of slack. It is important to avoid leaving the chain under strain


Helpful Tips and Troubleshooting

Understanding the Issue: Difficulty Operating and Clunking Noises from the Blind

Potential Cause: Incorrect insertion of the blind into the Chain Drive bracket
Solution: Return to Step 3, "Inserting the blind," and verify that the blind is correctly inserted. Pay close attention to the end cap and ensure it has not been rotated out of position. Proper alignment and placement of the blind within the Chain Drive bracket should resolve the issue.


The direction of my blind's tracking is off-center.

Roll up the blind and attach a strip of masking tape, measuring 10cm, onto the aluminum tube, specifically on the desired side for the blind to move towards. Increase the number of tape layers as necessary until the blind rolls up evenly. If this solution doesn't resolve the issue, please get in touch with us.
