What You’ll NeedParts:

• Bali Custom Blinds (Ensure they match your window size)

Tools:

• Cordless Driver/Drill (Available on Amazon)

• Phillips #0 Screwdriver (Available on iFixit)

• Tape Measure (Essential for accurate measurements)

• Pencil (For marking bracket placement)

Step-by-Step Installation GuideStep 1: Measure Your Window Frame

1. Use a tape measure to determine the width of your window frame.

2. Note this measurement when purchasing your replacement blinds.

3. Mark the top center of your window frame – this will help with the center support bracket placement later.

4. Keep in mind: Blinds should have about half an inch of room on each side to fit properly in the brackets.

Step 2: Remove the Old Blinds

1. Push the tabs on the installation brackets to release the blinds’ headrail.

2. Gently pull the headrail out of the brackets.

3. Repeat this step one bracket at a time to avoid damage.

Step 3: Remove the Old Brackets

1. Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screws securing the brackets.

2. Take out the old installation brackets and the center support bracket (if applicable).

3. Save the screws in case they fit with the new brackets.

4. If necessary, drill new holes if your old screw placements don’t match up with the new bracket design.

Step 4: Install the New Brackets

1. Position the installation brackets in the inner corners of the window frame.

2. Drill in the supplied screws to secure the brackets.

3. Ensure the brackets are aligned properly by measuring between them.

4. If your blinds require a center support bracket, install it at the previously marked center.

Step 5: Insert the Headrail

1. Carefully insert each end of the headrail into the brackets.

2. Press down on the tabs to lock the headrail into place.

3. If the blinds feel too tight, you may need to downsize by an inch.

Step 6: Test the Blinds

1. Lower the blinds evenly to check if they operate smoothly.

2. If the blinds catch or don’t lower properly, reinstall the brackets and ensure they are properly aligned.

Final Tips for a Perfect Installation

• Always double-check measurements before purchasing replacement blinds.

• Keep an extra set of screws handy in case the new brackets require different ones.

• If blinds feel uneven, adjust the brackets slightly for better alignment.
