    Many thanks- this is the only video I've found that goes through how to install a motor into an ordinary blind. I bought some made by another company (sorry! but I'm in the UK so no hard feelings, I hope 😀) and their instructions are total rubbish. I now know what I'm doing.

    When measuring for a T-post I understand that it’s measuring from left to the middle of the post but I’m unsure of how to know where the T post would sit. For example, if it is 1780mm wide window and going 3 panels with 1 panel, T post and then 2 panels. Would I divide the 1780/3 to make each panel approx 590mm wide each and then measure left 590mm plus half a T-post width? I hope this make sense 😅

  • @iseekblinds

    Hi Kat, With measuring a T post we recommend to measure from left to the middle of where the T post will be located. Some customers may have a vertical mullion to which they will line up this T post with to get this measurement. If you don't have a mullion to line it up and would like to have a 3 panel plantation shutter, you can also as you stated take your width and divide by the panels. But in this case please leave a note in the manufacturing notes that you would like x3 even panels and when we go to process the order we will confirm with you the exact measurements of all the x3 panels. If you are needing further assistance with measuring you can also book in online with a 1 on 1 video consultation to discuss this further via the following link iseekblinds.com.au/contact-us Or you are more than welcome to send us some images of the window to our [email protected] email and we would look forward to assisting you on your DIY journey. Thanks the Sales Team @ iSeekBlinds.

    I already have set up automate roller blinds with remote last year. Now I want to buy a hub to connect to the app but not sure if the motors are compatible . How would I check the motors I have can connect to the hub?

  • @iseekblinds
    @iseekblinds29 күн бұрын

    Thank you for reaching out. If you have Automate branded Motors, then the Pulse 2 Hub will work as they are from the same manufacturer. An easy way to confirm your Motor brand/type, is to take down the roller & pull out the motor. You will then be able to check the branding on the motor :) Please do not hesitate to reach out to our office, if you have any further questions - [email protected] Thank you!

    Chain fix for RollerBlind. In case you are here to reattach the chain for a Louvolite Shade System 40 clutch R3025, this is what you do Remove blind - steps to do this: - roll up blind (if you can with a little force, but not essential), push chain end in a direction it will move a little, usually up, push toward other end., it should now be detachable from chain end) Once removed, roll up blind if is not already Pull out mechanism on chain end from the roller tube - the whole chain enclosure mechanism should slide out - use a flathead screwdriver to ease out if necessary. Remove the plastic pin from point at the end, prise out with a small Phillips screwdriver in the hole if can't do manually Replace the chain - if it has a joiner the make sure it is placed close the mechanism on the side where the chain is chain is will drop down. Reverse process to refit. Note: the three lugs on the chain end should be faced upright, ensure blind is facing correct direction.

    How do you measure the size for the chain replacement? What does drop size mean?

  • @iseekblinds
    @iseekblinds4 ай бұрын

    Hi @susibrown655, our chains are continuous loop which means there is no joining link. The size that you will see when ordering a chain is from 500mm to 2000mm. This size referred to the drop size of the chain which is measurement from the chain drive to the bottom of the chain. Ideally you want your chain drop to fall between your chest and belly button - this way it is not a safety issue for children - be sure to install a child safety device to secure the chain. Cheers Mike

    How did you pre fit the brackets?

  • @iseekblinds
    @iseekblinds5 ай бұрын

    Hi, the brackets are spring loaded and easily clip onto the track. You do this by clipping the front of the bracket to the front of the curtain track and push down on the back - when you hear a click its firmly in position. Hope this helps.

    Hi with the wall anchors we supply and the multiple brackets across the width I always use the plaster anchors which are fine and hold 10 times the weight of the curtain. When mounting the track to a wall I am generally more selective about where I fit the brackets. Cheers Mike :)

    @@iseekblinds thanks mate i appreciate the reply. I ended up going with anchors as you suggested and spacing them more evenly across the ceiling regardless of batten positions. I’ve also been using your method of poking through with a small screwdriver to feel behind wall spaces and all sorts of areas to make sure I’m not drilling into any wires or pipes.

    Thanks for your video but chain drive didn’t look like any of the ones yo showed. I had to pinch together the two ends that were on one side of the chain drive which allowed it to come apart so I could fit the new chain in. Unfortunately its still not working 100% as theres a chain joiner and i don't know how to position the chain so the joiner does reach the top of the chain drive before the blind is totally rolled up. So it rolls up 3/4 of the way but that will have to do for now.
