Cord Weights & Fittings

Curtain and blind cords that hang too loosely, tangle at the bottom, or lack a neat terminus are easily addressed with the right cord weights and fittings. At the DIY Hardware Store, our cord weights and fittings range covers the acorn drops, cord tidies, safety cleats, and weight fittings used to finish, control, and secure curtain and blind operating cords in both domestic and contract settings.

A cord weight (or acorn) is fitted to the bottom of a Roman blind or curtain cord to hold it taut and prevent it from kinking or wrapping around itself during operation. Safety cord tidies and cleats are now required on new blind installations in homes with children - they secure loose cord ends out of reach and prevent the loop-hazard presented by freely hanging blind cords.

The range also covers cord connectors for joining cord lengths, end caps for cord rails, and the small fittings needed to assemble a complete curtain or blind cord system. Available in white, chrome, and natural finishes.
