For regular vertical windows in moving vehicles or surface mounting on doors, Magnetic Hold Downs are available for both Chain shades and Spring Tension shades. Neodymium rare earth magnets (3.6 pull force) are attached to an adhesive backed aluminum mounting plate. Install magnets directly on wall or window trim for outside mounts, or use angle brackets to mount them to the sill for inside mounts. For installation to wood surfaces, remove magnet from plate and secure with a screw.
For spring tension shades, order with the optional metal handle for the bottom bar; this is not necessary for chain pull shades.
Shades up to 36″ wide come with 2 magnets; up to 48″, 3 magnets; up to 60″, 4 magnets.

Please specify if you need longer chains.

- (Photo 1) Decide whether you want the shade mounted inside the frame of the opening or outside the opening. An inside mount can look cleaner, but you may want to order outside mount if there are obstructions, if you want more complete coverage, or if you want to cover more than one opening with a shade.
- (Photo 2) Always use a steel measuring tape.
- (Photo 3) Measure to the nearest 1/8”. Round DOWN, not UP, if it is 1/16th over.
- Tell us raw measurements. Do not take your own deductions.
- Always give width before height
- IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT to take note if any of the adjoining shades meet at a 90% angle, as one or both shades may need to be cut narrower to make sure the brackets don’t conflict with one another. We recommend that you order only one of the corner shades, and order the second one after you have installed the first one to make sure the brackets don’t impede each other.
