Mount the Blind

■

■

Align the snap buttons on the uprights (and the bottom rail, if applicable) with the front of 
the mounting brackets.

■

■

Insert the snap buttons into the mounting brackets until they “snap” in place. 

IMPORTANT:  

If the snap buttons do not align with the mounting brackets, fix the problem in 

one of the following ways:

■

■

Inside Mount:

  Shim the blind or mounting brackets.

■

■

Outside Mount:

  Re-position the mounting brackets.

■

■

Inside or Outside Mount:

  Use flat head screws instead of snap buttons. Be sure to  

pre-drill the holes to avoid splitting the uprights.
