Premium XL Pin End Replacement Only
Replacement pin end suited for our range of Premium XL blinds. This only includes the pin end mechanism.
This is only compatible with our range of Premium XL chain-operated roller blinds or XL Mains Electric blinds.
It is not compatible with any of our standard roller blinds.
This roller blind comes with the option to have a headbox and this can be selected once you’ve entered the measurements into the product page. The images on our product pages show the blind with the headbox.
Non-Headbox
A non-headbox roller blind means you can see the fabric wrapped around the barrel, with a gap between the barrel and the top of the recess/ceiling. This version of the roller blind can be face or top fixed with the brackets at each end of the barrel.
Headbox
The headbox fully encloses the barrel and the mechanism. The headbox itself is white aluminium and the front of the headbox is covered in the same fabric as the blind.
As well as protecting the fabric on the barrel, the headbox can help to give a better ‘seal’ at the top of the recess, which will help to block sunlight from coming through at the top of the blind, thus improving the roller blinds’ blackout credentials.
Premium XL Wide Blind Sizes
Our Premium XL Roller Blinds can be made to a maximum width of 4700mm (4.7m) and a maximum drop of 5750mm (5.75m)
When manufacturing our blinds we take into consideration the weight of the hardware as well as the fabric to ensure smooth operation of the blind
Tear Drop Bottom BarsOur Premium XL Roller Blind range now includes an upgraded Tear Drop Aluminium Bottom Bar. Tear Drop bottom bars provide the perfect finish to your new blind. Available in White, Silver or Black finish
How To Measure
How To Measure
How to MeasureNow, you can’t mess this one up. It’s what we call ‘easy’ here at DotcomBlinds. But just in case you need some help, follow this quick guide. First thing's first, identify whether your blind is going inside or outside of a recess. Inside the recess![]() A recess fit blind means you supply us with the width and drop of your recess – from top to bottom and wall to wall. We make deductions to account for the brackets to ensure your blind fits within the recess perfectly. To measure a roller blind to fit inside the recess of your standard window, simply measure the full width and the height of the recess. Then input those measurements into the product page with your order selecting the ‘recess’ option. We’ll do the rest, leaving you the well-deserved excuse to put your feet up, you worked hard for it after all! Outside the recess
If you want your blind to hang outside the recess, measure the height and width but be sure to add some overlap to reduce light leakage. This overlap should be about 70mm at the top and bottom and 50mm each side, ensuring you suffer no dazzling strips of sunlight once your blind is happily installed. Please select the ‘exact’ size option when ordering. Measuring Installation Height for Chain LengthOn applicable products you'll be presented with the option to fine-tune your blind after you enter your measurements into the product page. One of these options allows you to tell us the installation height of the blind, which means we can ensure the operating chain for the blind can be easily reached. This is particularly helpful for blinds that are being fitted at height. To get the installation height, measure from the floor up to where you are going to fit the brackets. This is not the same as the drop measurement of the blind. Please note, if you don't include the installation height with your order and you find the chain needs to be longer, you will need to purchase a new chain loop, which can be found here.
How to Install
How to Install
How to InstallYou overcame the measurement minefield and now you must face the final challenge – installing your roller blind. Honestly, it isn’t half as bad as you think it is, and with this very easy guide, you’ll be done in no time. Grab a cuppa and have a quick read through our instructions to familiarise yourself before you get started. The tools you’ll need are: drill with 5mm drill bit, tape measure, suitable fixing plugs, screws and a screwdriver. Step 1Before you begin match the brackets up to the blind. You’ll notice one end has a circle and the other has a cross shaped opening. The control end goes into the cross shaped bracket and the pin-end goes into the circle. Doing this will ensure you don’t fit the blind back to front. Place your first bracket in the position you wish to fit the blind to. Ensure your blind won’t get in the way of any handles or vents and adjust the positioning of the bracket to accommodate this. Measure the distance from the window to the bracket and mark the spot you need to drill, and repeat this on the other side, ensuring the brackets are level (a spirit level can help gauge this). Drill the hole, starting with a smaller pilot hole and then going to the wider 5mm drill bit. You should use a thin wood drill bit if attaching it to the window frame and consider using the smaller screws supplied. If you are fitting the blind to the wall, use a masonry drill bit with the wall plugs supplied (make sure the drill bit and the wall plugs are the same size). The alternative way of installing your blind is to attach these brackets to the ceiling or top of the recess with the blind hanging below, which is known as top fix. Again, drill a pilot hole first before using the wider drill bit and relevant wall plugs. Important Note: Ensure there is enough space at the pin-end bracket (the end opposite the mechanism) to allow for free movement of the barrel. The pin-end of the blind is sprung to allow for easy removal of the blind and should not be fully compressed as this can cause the barrel to rub on the bracket and make operation stiff. This can result in the blind being hard to operate and for the chain to break. ![]() Step 2Once the brackets are up you can add the bracket covers if you ordered them. These optional extras will simply slide onto the brackets, giving your blind a professional and clean finishing touch if outside of the recess. The bracket covers are designed to have a nice tight fit, if you ever need to remove them insert a flat screwdriver into the cutout at the bottom inside of the cover and twist, this will release the cover. Note: If you wish to use bracket covers on a blind going into the recess, be sure to account for the size of the cover before screwing in the brackets as it might be a tight fit. Now it is time to fit the blind. First, attach the end opposite the controls (known as the pin-end), push gently against the pin-end to suppress the pin, lift the control end up and attach to the control end bracket.
Next StepsDepending on the control type you selected from your blinds - the next steps will differ, but we've got you covered... Standard Roller Blindsattach the relevant child safety devices. The cord retainer should be at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism, keeping the chain taut (but free enough to operate the blind smoothly). Put the retaining device on the wall, mark the hole with a pencil, drill the hole, insert a wall plug and screw the device to the wall. And there you go – your blind is safely up, so all that’s left is to give it a quick test.Crank Operated Roller BlindsUnpack the crank handle and attach the hook on the end of the handle to the eyelet on the blind’s mechanism. The crank handle is designed to fold out to create a handle to easily rotate the shaft, thus operating the blind smoothly and easily. If the blind is top fix, the pole clip should go within the recess to keep the crank handle out of the way, or on the wall close to the edge of the blind if it is a face fix blind. This is attached easily: simply mark on the wall with a pencil where you wish to hang the crank, drill the holes and insert a wall plug into each hole and screw the device to the wall! Changing the RollIf you wish to change the way the blind is rolled, which is sometimes a good idea if you are trying to avoid window handles or other protruding objects, then simply unravel the blind all the way to the metal barrel and then re-roll it in the direction you want. Note: Make sure your hands are clean, you wouldn’t want to mark you nice new shiny blind! It’s also a good idea to have your hands at equal lengths to ensure that when you re-roll the blind the roll is even, this will prevent any gather at one end and exposed barrel at the other.
