Cord Lock Pulley for
Roman Shade Mounting Board [Item CLP]
These
high-quality Cord Lock Pulleys are the very best available. They operate
using a simple mechanism of one smooth plastic roller bar and one
toothed metal roller bar. The cords are threaded so that they run
between the two rollers. Swinging the cords in one direction locks the
cords, swinging in the other direction unlocks the cords. A Cord
Lock Pulley
is
attached to the wood headrail using two screws, which are supplied with
the pulleys. If you use a cord lock, you do not have to use a cord
cleat.
Size: 2" wide,
1.5" long and 0.75" deep. Maximum weight of shade: 90
pounds. It is highly recommended that you use a tandem pulley with
larger/heavier shades.
Cord
Lock Pulleys are available in two sizes. The locks are identical in
operation. The difference is in the number of lift cord
"guides". When you order a cord lock, an "Option"
drop-down menu appears asking if you want the "5-Slots" (on
the left in the photograph at the top of this page) or the "3-Slots" (on the
right in the photograph at the top of this page) variety.
Moving the cords
towards the center of the shade ALWAYS unlocks the mechanism. Moving the
cords away from the center of the shade ALWAYS locks the
mechanism.

While
the above Table lists the maximum number of cords and possibilities, I
would recommend the following:
If you
are using 0.9 mm lift cord (which you should ONLY be using if you are
making a Top-Down shade), 5-Slots Cord Lock
If you
are using 1.4 mm lift cord: 5-Slots Cord Lock, and thread the cord
through the "inside" slots first.
If you
are using 1.8 mm lift cord: 3-Slots Cord Lock.
Notice
that I would only use the 3-Slots Cord Lock if I were using 1.8 mm lift
cord.
