Step 1


1 x universal end bracket

2 x screws

At the position originally measured from, fix one universal end bracket to the architrave or wall on the left side of the window using two of the screws provided.

Tips: If positioning on the architrave, pre-drill the holes to prevent splitting. If fixing to the wall you may need to pack out the brackets and use longer screws to allow the blind to clear the window reveal when installed.
