This document provides instructions for the assembly and installation of Style Selections drapery rods. Before beginning, ensure all parts are present by comparing them with the package contents list. The estimated assembly time is approximately 30 minutes. If you encounter any issues or missing parts, please contact customer service at 877-888-8225.
Preparation and Tools
Before starting the installation, ensure you have the necessary tools. You will need a drill with a 3/16 in. bit and a level (not included). Ensure the wall surface is suitable for mounting and check for wall studs to provide the most secure installation.
Package Contents
The package includes the drapery rods and mounting hardware. Depending on the model (28-48-in or 48-84-in), the quantity of brackets, screws, and anchors will vary. Ensure you have the correct number of components before starting.
Installation Overview
- Marking: Use the mounting bracket as a guide to mark the desired height and location on the wall for the mounting screws.
- Drilling: Remove the bracket from the wall. Drill a pilot hole using a 3/16 in. bit. Insert the wall anchors if necessary. Note that anchors are not required for all installation types, such as when mounting directly into wall studs.
- Mounting: Attach the adjustable bracket to the wall using the provided screws. Adjust the bracket distance from the wall as desired and tighten the screws. Repeat these steps for any additional brackets.
- Final Assembly: Fit the drapery rod (with drapes already on the rod) onto the mounting brackets. Position the finials as desired and tighten the screws on each bracket to secure the rod in place.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues during or after installation, refer to the following solutions:
- Drapery rod not level: Ensure you use a level during the installation process.
- Drapery rod hook is loose: Ensure the hooks are anchored correctly. If possible, attach the drapery hooks directly to wall studs. If not, use the supplied anchors and screws.
Care and Maintenance
To keep your drapery rod in good condition, clean it periodically with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, or polishes, as these may damage the finish.
