This is because these are the sort of widths at which your blind is likely to become too heavy for one person to comfortably and safely support, plus the width at which they’re going to become unwieldy even if you can bench press 250lb without breaking a sweat. Your blind has a Velcro part that sticks onto the headrail, we recommend removing the top of the blind from the headrail so you can see what you’re doing with the brackets for this next step. Lower the blind/tube down so that it’s below the bracket on the control end, then pull the blind towards you.Imagine the sheer satisfaction of effortlessly detaching those drab blinds from their mounting brackets, like a superhero saving the day. If it appears frayed or damaged, now might be a good time to replace it with a new one before reinstalling your blinds. Trying to grapple with it above your head and suddenly finding out that it’s both heavier than you expected and has its own opinions about how to get to ground level is best avoided for obvious reasons.

Next, measure the height outside the recess from the point where you want the headrail tube — also known as the batten — to sit all the way down to where you want the bottom roller shade bar to stop. Face fix mounts can be used both inside and outside the recess while a top fix is only possible on inside the recess mounts. This releases the other end of the blind, leaving it free of the brackets, at which time you’ll be supporting its weight.
