Signs: a practical repair or compatible installation needs a clear product and access review or the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended. Causes: ordinary wear, loose compatible fixings or minor fitting movement or an incomplete assembly or a mismatched replacement component.

Identify cords, chains and all supplied safety components at the enquiry stage. Product instructions and applicable safety requirements must be followed. An incomplete or unsafe operating system should not be installed as if it were an ordinary uncorded rod.
Heavy curtains can place different demands on the supports from lightweight fabric. Include product weight information rather than only the window width. The rod span and manufacturer bracket spacing also matter when deciding whether the intended arrangement is suitable.
