These brackets are designed for inside mount applications. They are compatible with Hunter Douglas Easy Rise 3/4 inch Duette shades, as well as M&B and Alta 3/4 inch shades.

These metal brackets require minimal maintenance. To ensure longevity and proper function:

• Cleaning: Spot clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the brackets and mounting screws for any signs of loosening or wear. Tighten screws as necessary.
• Environment: Designed for indoor use. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Shade Not Level

If your window shade appears uneven after installation:

• Verify that both brackets are mounted at the same height using a level. Adjust if necessary.
• Ensure the window treatment itself is properly seated and secured in both brackets.

6.2 Brackets Feel Loose

If the brackets feel unstable after installation:

• Tighten all mounting screws.
• Ensure that appropriate wall anchors were used for your specific wall material (e.g., drywall, wood studs). If not, consider using more robust anchors.
