How To Fit No Drill Roman Blinds
Important Notes Before You Begin
Always read these instructions fully before fitting or operating your blind.
Handle your blind with care when unpacking. Do not use knives or sharp tools.
No Drill Tolerances
Not all windows are perfectly square. If your window tapers inwards at the bottom by more than 10mm (1cm), no-drill blinds will not be suitable. For example, if the top of your window is 120cm but the bottom is less than 119cm, you will not be able to fit no-drill blinds within your window. For windows that taper outwards, this is not an issue and no-drill blinds would still be suitable.
No-Drill Roman Blind Installation
The No Drill system is created for those who do not have a drill, cannot drill into a wall, or find the idea of fitting a blind daunting.
Before starting, please ensure that you are capable of holding the blind and twisting the locking mechanism. Make sure the space is clear and that there is nothing on the window sill or surrounding areas. If you are concerned about holding and twisting the blind, ask a friend or family member to assist. Fitting time is less than 5 minutes.
First, verify your mounting surface. The recess must be a suitable, solid substrate. The no-drill system will not work on flexible surfaces, such as plasterboard without a strong backing, as it will not withstand the necessary pressure.
Step 1: Insert the Blind
Place the plunger end of the headrail into the window recess. Apply pressure to depress the plunger, then gently ease the opposite end of the blind into the recess until it is fully housed.
Step 2: Position and Check Clearance
Move the blind to its final desired position inside the recess. Before locking, confirm that the blind is positioned far enough away from any potential obstructions, such as handles or vents.
Step 3: Access the Locking Mechanism
On the plunger side, slightly peel back the fabric from the headrail to expose the locking hole. Insert the supplied locking key into this hole.
Step 4: Engage the Lock
Gently turn the locking key toward the wall until you hear a clear click. This indicates that the mechanism is secure. Stop turning immediately after the click to prevent damage.
Turn anti-clockwise if the plunger is on the left. Turn clockwise if the plunger is on the right.
Step 5: Secure the Chain
Ensure the operating chain is correctly seated inside the P-Clip. Remove the adhesive backing and firmly press the P-Clip onto the wall. Position it as far as possible from the control mechanism to ensure the chain remains taut and safe.
