Frequently Asked Questions about Blind cord cleats in Sidmouth
What is a cord cleat?
A simple hook that screws to the wall. You wrap the blind cord around it to keep it taut and out of reach. Simple, cheap, life-saving.
Where should they be positioned?
High enough that children can't reach, but low enough that adults can easily wrap the cord. Usually around adult shoulder height.
Can't I just tie up the cords?
Tying creates loops - still dangerous. A cleat lets you wrap the cord figure-8 style with no loops. It's the safe way.
Are these really necessary?
Yes. Blind cords are a leading cause of child strangulation. It takes seconds and is silent. Cleats are the minimum safety measure for corded blinds.
