The standard width of the H-Type Bottom Chain is 100mm. If the actual width of the vertical blind base plate does not match this size, it will not fit properly. In addition, the slot design of the H-Type Bottom Chain needs to match the thickness and shape of the base plate edge exactly. If the edge of the base plate is too thick, too thin, or the structure is non-standard, the bottom chain may not be firmly fixed. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully measure the width and edge shape of the base plate before installation to ensure that it is fully compatible with the H-Type Bottom Chain.
The material and structure of the base plate will also affect the matching of the H-Type Bottom Chain. If the base plate is made of metal or super-hard plastic, it may be difficult to insert into the slot of the bottom chain due to lack of elasticity; on the contrary, if the base plate is too soft, it may not provide enough support, causing the bottom chain to loosen or fall off. In addition, after long-term use, the edge of the base plate may bend, crack or wear, causing the H-Type Bottom Chain to not bite tightly. Therefore, choosing a base plate of the right material and regularly checking its structural integrity will help ensure the stable fixation of the bottom chain.
H-Type Bottom Chains usually need to be used with special bottom bead clips or hook accessories. If these accessories are not designed for 100mm H-Type Bottom Chains, the bottom bead may not be properly fixed, affecting the overall matching. In addition, the size or shape of the bottom bead may not match the clamping structure of the bottom chain. Therefore, when purchasing accessories, it is necessary to confirm its compatibility with the H-Type Bottom Chain to avoid affecting the installation effect due to mismatched accessories.
Operational errors during installation are also a common cause of mismatch. If the card slot of the H-Type Bottom Chain is not fully aligned with the edge of the bottom plate, one side may not be able to be buckled in, resulting in looseness or tilting. In addition, some H-Type Bottom Chains need to be gently tapped with a tool to ensure full engagement. If you only press it by hand, it may not be fully in place. Therefore, during installation, you should strictly follow the operating instructions and use auxiliary tools when necessary to ensure that the bottom chain fits tightly with the bottom plate.
There may be slight tolerance differences between H-Type Bottom Chains produced by different manufacturers, which may cause them to be incompatible with some brands of vertical blinds bottom plates. In addition, some products may have manufacturing defects, such as deformation of the bottom chain slot or burrs on the edge of the bottom plate, which will affect the matching. If you suspect that it is a problem with the product itself, you can contact the supplier for comparison or replacement to ensure that the bottom chain and bottom plate used are completely matched.
