MOUNTING THE BRACKETS
The Roller Blind brackets may be installed in Reveal (inside the window frame) or Face (outside the window frame), or ceiling (top) mounted. In all cases, level mounting is critical to the
operation of the blind (use carpenters level).
Warning: If level mounting is not achieved, telescoping of the material may occur resulting in
the material rubbing against the brackets, causing fraying and unnecessary wear.
BRICK OR RENDERED SURFACES
Warning: Ensure you drill no closer than 25mm
from the edges of these surfaces as you may
chip or break out the brick or render.

PROTECTING YOUR CHILDREN
Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering chains. To reduce
the possibility of such an accident, all chains must be kept out of reach of children, including
infants. Please refer to diagram below for installing chain tensioners.
Installation Instructions - Cord Tensioner
All chain operated blinds must be installed with the tensioner that is provided. When
installed, the tensioner should hold the chain taut and close to the blind or mounting surface
in a way that makes the position of the tensioner fixed and immobile.
Face Fix
Step 1.
Clip the Rubber Wheel onto the Face Fix Back Plate and loop
chain around it taking into consideration the positioning of the Chain
Drive. Ensure the chain is tensioned and mark the screw position
on the wall.
Step 2.
Unclip the Rubber Wheel (use a flathead screw driver between
the wheel and bracket to lever the wheel off, if it cannot be pulled
apart by hand) and mount the Face Fix Back Plate to wall using
the Screws provided. Mount the screw in the slot first to fine tune
position through second location hole. Choose the appropriate
fixing method depending on surface. The tensioners are suitable for
installation onto the following surfaces:
Timber
Aluminium
Gyprock (Spring Toggle)
Brick (Wall Plug)
Step 3.
Clip the Rubber Wheel onto the Face Fix Back Plate and loop
the chain around it. To Conceal the Chain Wheel, clip the Chain
Tensioner Cover over the Chain Wheel. Ensure clips are aligned
with holes on cover prior to assembly (Cap cannot be rotated once
installed). Cover is installed correctly when the two components
touch and straight edges are in alignment.
Note:
Face Fix Chain Tensioner Kit contains 1 x Face Fix Back Plate, 1 x Chain Tensioner Cover
and 2 x Pan Phil 6G x ¾” STS Screws only. (Do not use face fit screws for reveal (fit and
vise versa).
Chains can stretch over time causing the chain to be loose. If the Chain Tensioner cover is
removed to retention the chain DO NOT reuse the same Chain Tensioner Cover more than
once. This is due to plastic deformation caused when cover is disassembled.
17
Reveal Fix
Step 1.
Clip the Rubber Wheel onto the Reveal Fix Back Plate and loop
chain around it taking into consideration the positioning of the Chain
Drive. Ensure the chain is tensioned and mark the screw position on
the wall.
Step 2.
Unclip the Rubber Wheel (use a flathead screw driver between the
wheel and bracket to lever the wheel off, if it cannot be pulled apart
by hand) and mount the Reveal Fix Back Plate to wall using the
Screws provided. Mount the right side first and adjust height to
tension the chain, and then secure the tensioner into position through
the centre hole. Mount the screw in the slot first to fine tune position
through second location hole. Choose the appropriate fixing method
depending on surface. The tensioners are suitable for installation
onto the following surfaces:
Timber
Aluminium
Gyprock (Spring Toggle)
Brick (Wall Plug)
Step 3.
Clip the Rubber Wheel onto the Reveal Fix Back Plate and
loop chain around it. To Conceal the Chain Wheel, clip the Chain
Tensioner Cover over the Chain Wheel. See comments for face clip.
Ensure clips are aligned with holes on cover prior to assembly (Cap
cannot be rotated once installed). Cover is installed correctly when
the two components touch and straight edges are in alignment.
Note:
Reveal Fix Chain Tensioner Kit contains 1 x Reveal Fix Back Plate, 1 x Chain Tensioner
Cover and 2 x CSK Phil 6G x ¾” STS Screws only. (Do not use face fix screws for reveal
fit and vise versa).
Chains can stretch over time causing the chain to be loose. If the Chain Tensioner cover is
removed to retention the chain DO NOT reuse the same Chain Tensioner Cover more than
once. This is due to plastic deformation caused when cover is disassembled.
