How to Fasten Window Coverings

As long as you know how to use a power drill, you'll have your new window covering installed and ready to use. Does this Spark an idea?

Draw a line with a pencil directly above the window frame. Use a balance as a straight edge and to ensure that the line is completely parallel to the window frame.

Place the mounting mechanism along the pencil line you just drew.

5
Drill into the screw holes in the mounting mechanism with your power drill and the screws that came with the window covering assembly.

Unfasten the screws if the mounting mechanism is not straight. Re-mount and use the balance to make sure it's straight during the second attempt at installation. After that, your window covering is ready to use.
