What is the maximum length of the blind?

Does it come with a child safety device?

Troubleshooting
Blind does not roll smoothly
Check that the roller tube is not obstructed. Ensure the blind is mounted straight and not angled. Clean any dust or debris from the roller mechanism.
Fabric is creased
Allow the blind to hang fully extended for a few days. Gentle steaming from a distance might help, but avoid direct contact with the fabric.
Light still seeps through the edges
Ensure the blind is mounted as close to the window frame as possible. For side gaps, consider ordering a wider blind or adding side channels if feasible.
Pull cord is too long or tangled
Use the provided child safety clip to secure the cord at an appropriate tension. Re-thread the cord if it becomes excessively tangled.
