Magnetic fastener for pleated blinds

You can create a quick and easy magnetic fastener for pleated blinds yourself in just a few minutes.

The magnetic fastener for pleated blinds was created using the following products:

• 4x Neodymium pot magnet Ø 16.0 x 4.5 mm, thread M6x8, holds 6 kg
• 4x Metal disc Ø 20 galvanized with double-sided adhesive tape
• 4x matching nuts for M6x8 thread
• Number of desired pleated blinds
• Cleaning gasoline and a cloth for cleaning the window frames

Without the help of any tools, you can create a magnetic attachment for pleated blinds as follows:

• Before gluing on the metal discs, clean the window frame at the desired location with cleaning benzene. (this will make it easier to remove the panes later)
• Attach the metal discs to the upper section of the window frame first, then to the lower section.
• Let the pot magnets adhere to the metal discs.
• Tension the pleated cords of the upper section downwards and attach them to the threaded pins of the pot magnets.
• Fix these pleated cords with a suitable nut.
