Hi I need to install roller blinds into a recess which has a sliding door in the middle what I have encountered in the process is the sliding door has a bar sticking out which will damage the blind while sliding so what are my options to get this done
You completely skipped the one part that i needed help with from putting mounts up then putting the frame in and attaching it
I don’t understand why you didn’t go all the way to the end!
Thank You. I really like how you described the wood framing detail for your door. Also the screws tip was great.
He did show how to mount the rail at all. It just all of a sudden what’s up.
You don’t really know how to install it .,
I just had a fella install 2" faux wood blinds. They stick out of the trim about an inch on the front. Does this mean he didn't put they back far enough?
I can't get the top thing that holds the top bar where the bar is suppose to clip in but mine won't snap in place
Where do you get the verticals blinds..Home Depot?
Helpful but please people, do not be cheap and come up short on the length of your outside mount. That gap at the end is not only aesthetically atrocious, it defeats the purpose of the blind. Especially if it was a blackout…ish.
On my window I cant get the screws all the way in! It happened on both an inside and an outside mount even when I drilled a hole first. It seems like I am hitting metal or concrete. Edit: I went and bought some new screws (power pro one ext xl #8 1 1/4" as recommended by the guy at lowes-I think similar to ones in video)and it was so easy! I didn't even have to drill holes. I also got the level (good thing I did!). Now my blinds are hung and I'm very happy! Thanks for the advice.
Good video, thanks. Probably the most important parts of this is knowing there should be wood behind the drywall at the bracket mounting height.
I you have a laser, you can stripe the wall level and preinstall your brackets without going up and down with the head rail. Also, an 8 foot straightedge with a 4 foot level on top can set you a level line to avoid all the up and down with the head rail. Most sliding glass doors are less than 8 feet wide.
If you cant find those installation screws, hex head installation screws are also very effective.
And finally, always invest in Fat Max tape measures. Always. All professionals should be carrying them. They are the best for measuring stuff by yourself.
I've installed many blinds in the past, but still learned some new tricks from your video. The cabinet screws you suggested work great and saved me a lot of frustration, well worth the extra $10 for a box.
I'm soooooooo glad theirs videos like these for us DIY's. Cuz my Landlord, I'll jus lv it at that. Lol. Thank u
OMG your eyes ❤ !!!
Great guidance. I am planning to install a 104" L blinds on sliding doors but realize I have an issue. I can't do in or outside mount since sliding door is 96" from floor to ceiling. I do not have that stud room for the installation of the brackets. I assume I have to do ceiling install which is kind of unique. Correct me if I am wrong but I'm thinking I would just need to screw the mounting clip to the ceiling, or should I just use the whole thing? Bracket and clip but the upper part to the ceiling. Thanks for assistance with this.
Literally just the video I needed. Thanks so much
Excellent job. My question is if I don’t have a stud in the back how do I secure the brackets to the drywall securely?
Would the spax #8 1 1/14 screws work? Or the #8 2? The size you recommend is out of stock everywhere i looked
Where can I find the spax screws, because home depot doesn't have them. Suggestion for substitute or where else to find the screws, because I can't use the screws that come with it, and I can' t finish my project
