- Mark Bracket Locations: Measure and mark the desired positions for the brackets on the wall. It is recommended to place them approximately 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) from the window frame. Ensure marks are level.
- Drill Holes and Insert Anchors: Use a 1/8 inch drill bit to drill holes at the marked locations. Insert the provided wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Mount Brackets: Align the brackets with the anchors and secure them to the wall using the provided screws.
- Assemble Rods: Take the rod sections out of the box. Connect the rod sections together to achieve the desired length (use 2 or 3 rods depending on the required length for 72-144 inches).
- Place Curtains onto Rods: Slide your curtains onto the assembled front (1-inch) and back (5/8-inch) rods. The front rod is suitable for blackout curtains, and the back rod for sheer panels.
- Mount Rods onto Brackets: Carefully place the assembled rods with curtains onto the mounted brackets.
- Screw Finials: Attach the large end cap finials to the front rod and the small end cap finials to the back rod on both ends.
- Adjust Rod Position: Make any necessary adjustments to the position of the rods to ensure they are centered and evenly extended.
- Secure Rods: Tighten the small screws on the underside of the brackets to secure the rods in place, preventing them from shifting.

6. Operation
The Lwiiom Double Blackout Curtain Rods are designed for ease of use and versatility:
- Dual Curtain Functionality: The double rod design allows for hanging two types of curtains simultaneously. The 1-inch front rod is ideal for heavier room-darkening or blackout curtains, while the 5/8-inch back rod is perfect for lighter sheer panels.
- Adjustable Length: The rods can be adjusted from 72 to 144 inches to fit various window sizes. Ensure the rods are extended evenly for optimal support.
- Smooth Gliding: The smooth surface of the rods ensures curtains glide easily when opening and closing.

7. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your curtain rods:
- Cleaning: Wipe the rods and finials with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Material Care: The aluminum, iron, and metal construction with high-temperature curing coating is designed to resist fading, oxidation, and rust.
8. Troubleshooting
- Rods Sagging:
- Ensure the rods are not extended beyond their recommended maximum length without adequate support.
- Verify that the brackets are securely mounted and evenly spaced.
- Check if the weight of the curtains exceeds the rod's bearing capacity.
- Curtains Not Gliding Smoothly:
- Inspect the rods for any debris or damage. Clean if necessary.
- Ensure the curtain rings or grommets are not obstructed.
- Brackets Loose:
- Re-tighten the mounting screws.
- If anchors are pulling out, consider using stronger wall anchors suitable for your wall type.
