Linked roller installation installation guide
Identify independently controlled or multi-linked hardware before fitting the intermediate supports. Follow the matching instructions and multi-linked fitting demonstration in this guide.
CHILD SAFETY - STRANGULATION RISK
Loose blind chains can strangle children. Fit every supplied chain safety device before use. A loose cord must not make a loop 220 mm or longer anywhere below 1600 mm from the floor. This cord-safety rule also applies to the control chain. Keep cots, beds and climbable furniture away from the chain.
01 Identify the supplied linked system
Multi-linked and independently controlled linked rollers use different components. Check the actual order and supplied intermediate bracket before installation; do not substitute one system for the other.
CHILD SAFETY - STRANGULATION RISK
02 Secure every control chain
Loose blind chains can strangle children. Fit every supplied chain safety device before using the blind. Keep cots, beds and climbable furniture away from the chain, and retain all warning labels and tags.
A loose cord must not make a loop 220 mm or longer anywhere below 1600 mm from the floor. For these chain-controlled rollers, this cord-safety rule applies to the control chain.
Fit a chain tension device as far vertically from the control as possible, with the chain tensioned and the device fully closed. Mark its fixing hole on the architrave or wall. Use screws and anchors suited to the surface so the device cannot pull free.
If any part of the chain tension device is below 1600 mm, it must remain firmly fixed under 70 N of force in any direction for 10 seconds, with the chain tensioned to prevent a loop 220 mm or longer. Use a suitable tested fixing; get qualified help if its capacity is uncertain. Follow the supplied device instructions.
Installers must attach a label showing their name and contact details. Check the chain safety fittings regularly and keep every control chain secured.
Follow the supplied chain safety-device instructions.
03 Independently controlled linked rollers
Independently controlled linked blinds have a chain at each outer end and share an intermediate bracket: both pin ends sit in its pin-hole insert. Match the supplied hardware and do not substitute multi-link components.
04 Multi-linked fitting demonstration
Watch the multi-linked fitting demonstration for the supplied multi-link hardware. Follow its connector and drive-engagement sequence before operating the blinds.
05 Check the completed installation
Check that each bracket securely supports its roller and that the fabrics travel freely. Secure and check every supplied control chain before use. Stop and contact My Direct Blinds if the supplied link or intermediate bracket differs from the demonstrated system.
