screws provided are for mounting the blindto a wood surface only. For other surfaces, use the following:

Wallboard or Plastic - Pre-drill holes forsuitable hollow wall anchors or toggle bolts.Metal Surfaces - Pre-drill holes and use shortmetal screws.For Concrete, Stone, Brick or Tile -Use a carbide drill and appropriate plugs, or anchor with screws.

Hold the blind (with brackets on the ends) againstthe window opening to determine that it fits inside or outside the opening. (See Figs. 1 and 2.)

If blind is for inside mount installation, and if the window frame is not even or level (Fig. 3 ), use shims to make sure that the headrail will be level when installed.(See Fig. 4)

If the headrail is outside mounted on theframe, wall or ceiling, it must be level, sothat the blind will operate properly. Also make sure that the blind is the properlength and that it will clear any obstructions.(Spacer blocks or extension brackets may need tobe installed, so that blind clears any obstructions.)
