This can save you from an unnecessary headache in the future. When laid out, all of the equipment you need to put up your window treatments can seem a bit intimidating. Don\u2019t fret; it\u2019s about blinds, not brain surgery. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/installing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Most window treatments have specific installation instructions<\/a>, but there are a few generally applicable tips to help you hang your window treatments. Start with the installation manual, which will give you precise instructions and keep you from drilling any regrettable holes around your window. Once you\u2019ve got window treatments unpacked, and the instructions read, it\u2019s time to find a cordless drill, a screwdriver, and a pencil. With the right tools, you can install new window treatments faster than the speed of light.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ToolCollage_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8390 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ToolCollage_edit.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ToolCollage_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ToolCollage_edit-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4748 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"10\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2-300x5.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>The Racket About Brackets<\/h4>\n<p>Take the mounting brackets included with your product and place them, one at a time, on either end of your window. The amount of brackets included with your window treatment usually varies depending on the length of your blind or shade. Generally speaking, there will be a bracket for each side of your product and an extra optional bracket to offer more support for the middle portion. Use a pencil to mark the center of each mounting hole. Accurately marking this space will make the entire process easier and keep you from having to adjust the brackets later. I suggest using a level if you want to be sure that your brackets are straight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/InstallCollage_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8389 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/InstallCollage_edit.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/InstallCollage_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/InstallCollage_edit-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/InstallCollage_edit-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/InstallCollage_edit-107x107.png 107w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/InstallCollage_edit-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4748 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"10\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2-300x5.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Screw It Up<\/h4>\n<p>Once you have the marks on your wall, use a small drill bit to make a tiny opening for each mounting hole. This hole will make it a cinch to screw in the hardware. After these small holes have been drilled, put your mounting brackets back up and drive the included screws through the brackets, into the holes, with a screwdriver. Some customers choose to use their own screws, but that is entirely up to you. For a more secure blind, a longer, stronger screw is always a good idea. Keep turning until only the screw head is visible and your brackets are stable and flush with your wall. Once these brackets are secured, your blinds or shades should be able to slip right in and be successfully mounted. Don\u2019t forget to lock your brackets by closing the small sliding door in front of your window treatments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/BlindsI_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8382 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/BlindsI_edit.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"262\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/BlindsI_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/BlindsI_edit-300x131.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4748 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"10\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2-300x5.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/LevReplacement_Edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8401 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/LevReplacement_Edit.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/LevReplacement_Edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/LevReplacement_Edit-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/LevReplacement_Edit-220x145.png 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4748 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"10\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2-300x5.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Finishing Touches<\/h4>\n<p>As soon as everything has been properly mounted, there are only a handful of simple tasks left to take care of.
