This guide provides instructions for installing Style Selections drapery rods. The estimated assembly time is 30 minutes. Ensure you have all parts listed in the package contents before beginning. If mounting to drywall, you will need a 3/16-inch drill bit for the wall anchors.
Preparation
Before starting, compare all parts with the package contents and hardware lists. Do not attempt to assemble if any parts are missing or damaged. Tools required (not included): drill, screwdriver, and a level.
Installation Steps


- Marking: Use the bracket as a guide to determine the desired height. Mark the location on the wall for the mounting screws.
- Drilling: Remove the bracket from the wall. Drill a pilot hole using a 3/16-inch bit and insert the wall anchors. Note that anchors are not needed for all installation types (e.g., if 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 additional brackets.
- Fitting: Fit the rod with your drapes (not included) onto the mounting brackets. Position the finials as desired.
- Securing: Tighten the screws on each bracket to secure the rod in place.
Troubleshooting
- Drapery rod not level: Ensure the drapery hooks are installed correctly. Use a level during installation.
- Drapery rod hook is loose: Ensure the hooks are anchored correctly. Attach hooks to wall studs if possible; otherwise, use the supplied anchors and screws.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the rod with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, or polishes, as they may damage the finish.
