How to Hang Bamboo Shades on Steel Patio French Doors
- 1). Remove the blinds from the packaging and take the screws out. Go to the hardware store and obtain a new set of screws that are the right length, but designed for steel.
- 2). Measure the brackets on the door. Use measuring tape to measure where the screws will go, marking the spots with a pencil. Use a level to make sure the marks are balanced.
- 3). Secure a titanium drill bit one-half smaller than the screws will be drilling. Using a smaller bit gives screws a path to screw into with adequate surface area to grip the material. Drill the marked holes.
- 4). Replace the titanium bit with the screw bit. Screw the blind brackets into designated holes.
- 5). Attach the blinds to the brackets by snapping them in place.
