Pliers Bracket Placement: Position the first two installation brackets so that they are approximately 2” in from the end of the headrail. If a third bracket is included, center it between the outer brackets. Wide shades may include up to 8 brackets. In these cases, space the additional brackets evenly, not more than 25” apart. Mark the brackets using a pencil for mounting hole locations, making sure they are square and equally spaced. For outside mount installations, use a level to check for levelness. Bracket Installation: Drill your holes using a drill and screw in your mounting hardware. Make sure the screws are tight and the brackets are secured to the wall. Shade Installation: Hang the shade so that the front groove of the headrail is inserted into the front ridge of the bracket. Rotate the shade back toward the glass so that the headrail snaps into place. Make sure that the shade is locked in place.
