Installation Guide
Follow these steps carefully, based on whether your blind is chain driven, motorised, or a combination. We recommend to start by watching the video that matches your setup.
1
Unpack & Prepare
Carefully unpack your blind (avoid sharp blades that may damage the fabric).
Check the product label for the room name.
Lay out the blind on a clean, flat surface under the corresponding window.
Identify the control type of each blind (chain or motor) and confirm the bracket positions (male = control/motor side, female = pin end).
If your blind is white, wear cotton gloves to avoid marks on the fabric.
2
Mark Bracket Positions
Hold the double bracket up where the blind will be installed – use the flat back as a guide.
Mark the bracket screw positions with your pencil.
Use a spirit level to ensure both brackets are aligned.
Double-check that your male bracket is on the correct control side (based on your order).
For outside mounts, mark the bracket positions on the architrave or wall to your measured width.
For inside mounts, the bracket will sit flush with the top inside corner of the window reveal.
3
Fix the Brackets
Pre-drill holes using a 3mm drill bit if fixing into timber (especially for older homes).
Using a cordless screwdriver, attach the brackets with the screws provided.
If you are mounting outside the frame, slide on the bracket covers before fixing.
Check brackets are level and square. Uneven brackets can cause tracking issues.
4
Install the Blinds into Brackets
Double roller blinds must be inserted in the correct order:
Install the back blind first (usually the light filter or sunscreen).
Then install the front blind (usually the blockout).
Chain Drive Blinds:
Ensure the flat side of the tube faces up and the chain hangs evenly.
Insert the control side (chain) into the male bracket first.
Then guide the pin end into the female bracket until it clicks.
Confirm the blind has approx. 1.5–2mm of side-to-side "float" between the brackets.
Adjust bracket position or extend the pin if there’s too much or too little movement.
Motorised Blinds:
Make sure the P1 pairing button on the motor is facing forward (for programming).
Unroll about 20cm of fabric before installation to allow for testing direction later.
Insert the motor end into the male bracket first, keeping the blind level.
Guide the pin end into the female bracket until it clicks securely into place.
Do not tilt or force the motor end down—this can damage the motor or cause incorrect fitting.
Combo Setups:
Install each blind following its respective control method (chain or motor). Always install the back blind first.
5
Add Safety Features (Chain Drive Only)
Stop Balls
Lower the chain-operated blind fully.
Attach the clear stop ball just before the chain enters the control unit.
This prevents over-rolling and protects the mechanism.
For front roll blinds, the stop ball goes on the back chain (closest to the window).
For back roll blinds, it goes on the front chain.
Child Safety Cleat
Ensure the chain is positioned inside the cleat before attaching to the wall
Fix the cleat to the wall or window frame at least 1600mm from the floor with the supplied screw.
Attaching the cleat to a wooden frame or wall studs is best.
The chain should hang down with minimal tension.
Required by law for safety and to maintain your warranty
Don’t remove the warning tag attached to the chain
Final Checks
Test each blind individually: raise and lower to check for smooth operation.
If a blind pulls to one side, apply a small strip of masking tape to the opposite end of the roller tube (under the fabric) to correct it.
If a blind is not clicking in, check the pin end—retract it slightly and try again.
For motorised blinds, follow the pairing instructions in your motor setup video.

Troubleshooting Made Easy
Watch our step-by-step troubleshooting videos for simple fixes and expert guidance to get your blinds working perfectly.
Blind won’t fit into the bracket:
Double-check the control side is going into the correct bracket (male side).
Retract the pin end by twisting the clear plastic cog counterclockwise.
Blind rolls unevenly:
Apply masking tape (approx. 5cm wide) to one end of the roller tube to correct the alignment.
Chain feels tight or breaks:
Check that the blind has adequate float (1.5–2mm).
Ensure brackets are level and not pinching the roller.
See our "How to Replace a Broken Chain" video for repair steps.
Cleaning your blinds:
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
