Best way to attach blind.....

[hippygirl]

Hi
I would like to put up blinds on my kitchen upvc door/window and would like to know the best way to attach them....stick on hook or screws, and if I use screws what is the best way to do it without causing too much damage to the door?

If it was me, I wouldn't fancy screwing into a PVC door, unless I knew exactly where the internals were, and what I might hit.

I also wouldn't want to trust to glue, but then that's me, maybe it's fine.

My solution would be to drill into the wall above the door/window, and if this meant it rubbed the door/window, I would attach/paint a battern to space it out enough.

Fit and forget with that, it will never come down.

Then you cant open the door if you are the wrong side of the blind.

Drill the door use sheet metal screws, drill a small hole first.

Its the same way that you would fit them to upvc windows.
