STEP 1 - GETTING STARTED OVERVIEW
Before you begin, check the accompanying diagram to make sure you have all the parts you
need.
You’ll need to make sure the surface you intend to install your hardware is sturdy enough
to accommodate the brackets. If you’re screwing directly into a surface this means locating
wood studs that are strong enough to securely bond with the included screws. Otherwise,
you’ll need to use a secure fastener (as illustrated) but please note this piece is not included.
Tools & Parts
WALLBOARD OR PLASTER:
Hollow wall applications: Use a secure fastener designed
speci cally for this purpose.
METAL:
Prepare by pre-drilling holes and then using the included screws.
CONCRETE, STONE, BRICK OR TILE:
Use a masonry drill and surface-speci c plugs, anchors, or screws. When selecting a fastener
be sure it’s designed to support the weight of the product being installed (if you’re not sure,
either give us a call or ask a professional at your local hardware store). Once obtained, follow
the fastener manufacturer’s instructions regarding proper installation.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL YOUR HARDWARE:
Pencil, screwdriver, ¼" nut driver, level, and a drill with a 7⁄64" drill bit.
Note: It’s important to monitor the amount of pressure you apply when using a drill. If the
screws are too tight this may cause the screw itself to break off in the wall or window frame.

Place the panel on the rod. To ensure
it drapes at the correct length, hold
it up to the spot you wish to install
it; this will allow you to raise or lower
your treatment as desired.
After you’ve located the ideal
location, use a pencil to mark the wall
where the top of the rod is resting.
Remove the panel from the rod and
then center the rod over the window
opening at the desired height. Using
the pencil, mark where the ends of
each rod are positioned; if you’re
using a center bracket, note the
middle point between these two
spots as well. If you have more than
one center bracket spread these
evenly between the two end brackets
and center point. If you have a spliced
rod, mark where that splice is as well
on the wall since you will need to add
the special splice bracket at that point
as well. Measure 6” inward from the
marks you’ve made on both ends
and mark those spots. This is where
the end brackets will be installed.
Place center of bracket cover plate
level against wall at the marked spots.
Using a pencil, lightly draw a circle
around the base of the bracket onto
wall, (see Figure A). Check to make
sure the circles are level & aligned
with each other.
Remove back plate and center it
inside of the circle outline on wall.
Mark the screw hole locations for all
brackets (see Figure B).
Attach the metal back plate to the
wall, aligning the holes in the plate
with the marks made in the previous
step (see Figure B). Be sure and
attach the plate to the wall with the
appropriate mounting hardware.
(It is always recommended to try
and attach to the wood studs inside
the wall. Where this is not possible
please use a wall anchor suitable to
carry the weight of your hardware
selection as well as your draperies
and any accessories.)
Place bracket cover plate on top of
back plate and thread on the inside
post. Make sure to screw on the post
very tightly. Do not leave any play or
wiggle room. Put the outside post to
the side since you will use it later.

Your track rod will come with all master
carriers and regular carriers pre-installed.
If you need to add or take out some
carriers depending on your drapery,
unscrew the End Cap from the rod.
Remove the carrier & end stop and either
add or take out the carriers needed.
Do this for front and back rods.
STEP 3 - ATTACHING THE ROD CONNECTOR STEP 4 - ADDING OR REMOVING CARRIERS
Depending on your order, you may
have received a rod connector.
A rod connector is the short piece of
metal placed inside each end of the
rods in a multi-segment system to
join them together.
Join track sections together and fasten
securely with set screws.
Attach mounting clip at splice by
pressing clip down and snapping it
to track.

Once all carriers have been placed in
the track, for split drapery, place end
stop in between the rst carrier from
each end and the second carrier so
end of drape does not move when
drape is closed. Repeat for back rod
if necessary.
ONE WAY DRAW DRAPERY (B)
For one way draw drapery, place
end stop in between the first carrier
from the end and the second carrier
of the side you won’t be opening,
so the end of drape does not move
when drape is closed.
Place another end stop right before
the beginning of the end cap to
prevent master carrier from moving
all the way to the end. Repeat for
back rod if necessary.

STEP 11 - ATTACHING THE CORD TENSIONER STEP 11 - ATTACHING THE CORD TENSIONER
Attaching Loop Control
Tensioner
Your hardware rod has arrived with the
cord tensioner to comply with current
child safety standards. The cord tensioner
must be mounted and secured before the
rod will operate correctly. To position the
tensioner, grasp the screw hole and pull
down to release the lock. Pull the cord
through the tensioner until the tensioner
is at the bottom of the cord loop.
IMPORTANT
In compliance with national safety regula-
tions rods will not operate unless the cord
tensioner is installed correctly!

IMPORTANT
In compliance with national safety
regulations rods will not operate unless
the cord tensioner is installed correctly!
After the rod is installed, the cord tensioner
must be secured to the wall.
1. Position the tensioner as close to the
drape as possible without interfering
with the drape.
2. Make sure the screw hole (A) on the
cord tensioner is pulled halfway down
before mounting. This will ensure the
cord can move freely through the cord
tensioner.
3. For WALL MOUNT (B & C) installations
use the supplied mounting bracket.
