Cleats are designed to keep window covering cords out of the reach of children. They should be installed high enough on the wall that a curious child cannot reach them, even if they are on furniture or pull over a chair to stand on. When installing cleats, take furniture placement into consideration.
Wrap blind and shade cords around the cleats in a figure eight pattern, up high, out of reach of children.
Cleats can be used in a pair for longer, thicker cords, or individually for shorter, thinner cords.
These cleats come in a pair, along with four matching mounting screws for wood.
Available in white painted metal.

Window coverings that use a standard operating lift cord system pose a strangulation hazard to children.
- Limiting access to the cord or bead chain loops is a simple way to make these window coverings safer for kids.
- Cords should be made as short as possible.
- Keep all cords separate, putting only one cord in each tassel.
- If your window covering uses cord condensers, install them within 3” of the cord lock.
- Install cord cleats at least 5 feet above the ground, and wrap your cords around them every time you raise and lower your window covering.
- Install safety washers to prevent hazardous loops from forming on blinds with accessible inner cords.
- Replace cord tilt mechanisms with wand tilt mechanisms.
- It is safest to replace corded window coverings with cordless ones with inaccessible cords (look for the “Best for Kids” certification label) or remove them altogether.
- Move all cribs, beds, furniture, and toys away from corded window coverings, especially in bedrooms and sleeping areas.
