We installed two last night. The tips in the comments were helpful! 1. Examine how the snap-ins work before you start. Snapping it in took about 10 seconds and was super easy! 2. Use a 3/32 bit like it says in the video instead of the 1/16 it says on the instructions. The first one we installed took FOREVER because the screws included with the kit were flathead and very shallow. We used the 1/16 bit on this one too so these were a huge pain in the butt to screw in 😵‍💫. Took about an hour and a half. THANKFULLY the second one included Phillips head screws and the entire install took 15 mins. Love the shades, they totally block all the light!

Snap-in didn't work here either, trying different back-forward placement of the brackets. Never seen shades that are so difficult to mount. Video is near useless as you can't see the proper postitioning and the snap-in part. Same with the manual, it's not showing the most crucial step clearly

I paid a Lowe’s installer to install mine, they’ve worked perfectly for years!! $99 we’ll spent. They will install up to 9 shades for $99

For 9 it's definitely worth it. For just a few no.

So what was the level used for?

I have not been finding installing the shades themselves as easy as this! Much more detail on how to get the shades on the installed brackets would be very helpful.

Is the measurement to the outside of the brackets? The holes? Center? And front to back??

Several comments here mention difficulty snapping the headrail into the brackets. For the headrail that is rounded, first hang the top front lip of the headrail onto the top metal tabs of each bracket. Then rotate the headrail downward to snap it into place. To make this easier try rotating the headrail downward with one hand, while reaching behind the shade material to push upward on the underside of the headrail at each bracket (snap in one bracket at a time).

Bought two sets. Were easy to install and I recommend you try clipping the bracket to the blind BEFORE you install so you have an idea of how to mount them.

Mine did not snap in either. Just one snapped in, the other two did not. I think i should cancel rest of the orders.

Finally figured this out. The spring tab hooks into the bottom of the headrail. Took forever for me to get it

Thank you so much. Sometimes it's just easier to see it done. I was overthinking it. :)

Mine do not snap in either. Purchased 8 sets and less than half the clips altogether snap in, resulting in crooked blinds on every window.

I may have AN ANSWER for all of you who cannot get these blinds to click in. Let at least one of the brackets be a bit loose - do not tighten the screws too firm. I do not know why this worked but it did! My husband and I had the same problem as many of you have stated. Only one side would click in if we were lucky. We pounded, pushed, pulled and thought we would break the window in trying to get that blind in. We not only watched the Levolor video which was not helpful, but we also watched others install cordless cellular shades on KZread and NO ONE had video of what it looks like UNDER the blind to see where the back side should go. We also called the customer service personnel, who tried her best to help, but to no avail. Once we figured out the secret of keeping one bracket a little loose, we were able to go back and fix the first 4 we had precariously in place and installed 2 more blinds without any problem. I hope this helps save others from the aggravation we had! I also need to thank the good Lord for helping us solve the problem. I was so frustrated after 2 weeks of trying to get this to work, I said a quick prayer and within 4 minutes of that prayer, we figured out the solution!!!

@@user-eu5gt1rd9b Initially when we had all the screws tight, we were able to finally get one side in, but the other side just kinda rest there- it was not secure, but we wanted the sun out. Once we realized if we loosened one of the 2 brackets, there was just enough wiggle room for the rail to snap in. You do not need to have it real loose, just don't have it tight. Once the rail is all in- you cannot go back and make the screw tight. It just has to stay that way. However, as I said you are not making the screw real loose. We have been using moving the blinds a lot since then and there is not problem. Best of luck!

PLEASE HELP I've had these blinds for two years and love them. HOW do the cord minders work? if you screw them down then there is no action. It makes the spring and the cord grabber useless. I have racked my brain and looked up videos like this and it isnt explained. PLEASE and THANKS!

I could NOT get these cordless shades to snap into place until I put a .032" washer between the bracket and the wood. SPACERS SHOULD BE SUPPLIED!

They need better instruction on placement of the brackets. I installed mine last night (inside mount). If I had to do it again, I wold make a template of stiff paper with holes where the screws would go, and I would set the holes back from the front of the window frame at least an inch, maybe 1.5 inches. Not sure whether side-to-side placement is critical. Tilting the shades (backside up) to get them into the brackets is key.

The clips are very nice, they pivot front to back and lock in with the long tab in the back. To take them off you push that tab away from the front of the shade and the assembly pops out by pivoting down and sliding off forward. When you are installing the shades you need to put the front part over the lip on the clip, pivot the shade up towards the lock tab in the back of the clip, and then smack the front of the shade so it pops in and locks in. It does help to put the clip on and take it off a few times before installing to understand how it works. For the distances measure from the window frame because the wall may not be even.

That's exactly the information I was looking at. My window opening is 43" and took a guess by making the shades 42". But I think I need to go back to extend them to stretch 44".

@@jeffreyherman2728 send them the exact opening dimensions. If your window opening isnt even and goes 43 in one place and, say 43 1/8 in another, then give them the smaller number.

It would be more helpful if the information given is more specific - for example, how far the hole positions are from the end, and from the front edge of the wall.

More information plz like how clearly put them in how to easily remove them.

How do you remove the shades? It's so difficult!!

flat head screwdriver, from behind the shades.

removed the blinds for a window replacement with much difficulty, now its just as hard getting the so called snap to put them back up. Need more description of the roll/snap technique.

I used this video but I went with washers so that the brackets had some flex to snap in.

How to install the brackets on the vinyl blinds I have no luck the blind would not snap in I have nobody to help me I will go back to Lowe store ask them to show me which way is the braclet soposive to be and how to pull blinds down I will take a picture of the braclet so I know how to mind it if they refuse than I have to call handyman and ask them to help me

So we are on the 4th installation of the blinds. We had trouble snapping in the 3rd bracket... but eventually snapped in with no adjustment. But then someone noticed the top mounted rail was slightly slanted. I had chalked it up to window frame as they are not square. So I had to go and look closely. The first bracket is flush with blind as you move to other side, the rail hangs a bit lower on the bracket (more of it shows) They are all snapped in... so I don't get how the top rail is not flush. Is this everyone's experience?? The blinds themselves look perfectly parallel.

Yeah, on ours the provided screws have heads that rise up too high to allow the actual blinds to slip in.

this demo is Completely Missing where the bracket is placed, in reference to the 2" & 2 1/4" measurements

Nice Phillips head screws why are my screws straight edge 🤔🤔🤔🤔

The brackets in the video are not the same as the ones on our blinds. This is 2023 and this video was made in 2018…apparently the brackets are different.

Levolor, you need to do a much better job showing how the blind snaps into these cheap ass brackets, and really wished you had some type of slide in bracket, sure many of us would pay extra. You also need to explain if the bracket is flush the odds of getting the front most lip into and under the blinds front most lip is near impossible, which means you need a spacer which would then leave a gap at the top showing unless it came with the cross piece to hide whats behind it. In any case show a close up of how the blind slides into the basket from above down not behind, poorly done video which will product calls and time..

Estos no son precisos. Estoy instalando y lo que dice aqui, es lo mismo del manual. Inconveniente 1 es donde exaCTAMENTE van los huecos?????? donde se marco 2 inches 1/4, o ahi es donde se pone el final del bracket o que. mal video.

This video wouldn’t have to have been made the package came with the instructions

I need to install a new cord, since the first one provide broke after rare use on a very expensive blind, I expected more from a “Levelor”. Sure, they sent me a free replacement cord with NO instructions. A continuous loop cord and these “instructions” are useless!!! I agree with others, I won’t buy more Levelor blinds.

Is it me or she marked 2 inches? from the front to the back.

What the heck! This is impossible. We’ve spent an hour trying to snap in and it’s no go.

These are a waste of time. Shade was droopy on one side. Adjusted the strings and now I can’t get it to snap into brackets.

@user-vs8mw1zh5o

we found that to get the rail to snap in, you need to slightly loose the screws on one of the brackets. It needs a little wiggle room for it to have both snap in. I don't know about the droopiness you mentioned. We did not have that problem.

WRONG WRONG WRONG! When it comes to the part about “snapping “ the shade into the bracket she is WRONG. After fighting with this for 30 minutes (we had to replace our continuous cord loop) doing it this way- putting the bottom on the spring, pushing back while rotating the top- my DH resorted to logical reasoning. If when removing the shade you have to first push the bracket spring on the bottom inward to release, logically you would reverse sequence and that would be the last step when putting the shade back up. It worked first try.

The biggest mistake you manufacturers make with these stupid marketing videos is that you don't provide actual CLOSE UP views! You don't spend any time showing specifically just how the mounting bracket actually fits into the top! Horrible!

Worst cellular shades we hav ever bought these brackets are a complete failure. Very hard to install and remove. Just say no to levalor brand

You know for a 450 single custom blinds these are the worst instructions I have ever seen included, will not be buying this brand ever again

It sounds like you were not able to snap the rail into the brackets. It takes a good amount of force. We could only get one side to snap in but not the other. After several hours, of trying different things, we discovered the secret... Let the screws in one of the brackets be a bit loose - do not tighten the screws too firm. Once you do that, it should snap in - you will hear and feel it . then it will be very secure. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Why the fuck did my brackets come on the shade already??? They’re impossible to get off. Who designed this shit?

I could not be more dissapointed in these shades! They will not securely click into place! Total pieces of crap! I will not ever buy levelor again!

Nice production quality on the video, but terrible in actually instructing you on how to install the blind, lol. How far back am I drilling the holes for the bracket to get the face of the blind flush? Amazing that this is never discussed. Saying "place the bracket 2" back" isn't helpful.

Easy to install but not built to last. DO NOT BUY LEVOLOR BLINDS!!!!!

Can we stop having people that are mute doing instructional videos?

Like all install it yourself videos, you will never get your shades installed if you follow these instructions. How hard is it to make a video that shows the proper way to install these? This isn't it. Also, my shades came with the bottom rail cut 1/2 an inch too long.

VERY DIFFICULT TO SNAP in place. Poor design. Shouldn't have taken 3😢 hours for 2 shades. won't buy this brand again. We finally got one snapped using a screwdriver to pull the snap thing away, held the shade with my head as my husband pushed. A true test of a marriage.

My brackets look difrerent. Therey'r mostly plastic with metall attached. There are no words on them -- doesn't say "top" anywhere so thanks Levelor for wasting my time on this useless video. I prefer to to guess on how to configure this.
