Hunter Douglas also has taken great precaution and expertise to design all of their window treatments with child safety at the front of mind!  You can rest assured that no matter the lifting system you select with your custom window treatment, your children and pets will be out of harm’s way!

Buttons, Cords, & Wands

Traditional operating systems involving buttons cords and wands are all available through Hunter Douglas.  Simple to use and at great price points, there are a variety of options to choose from.

Standard Cordlock

The Standard Cordlock system is the original Hunter Douglas operating system.  It has a locking mechanism that allows you to easily control the position of your window treatment!  Don’t let “cords” fool you into thinking they could be hazardous for your crazy kids at home.  These are designed with cord cleats for enhanced child and pet safety.

Clutch Operated Continuous Cord Loop

The continuous cord loop works similar to a pulley.  Simply pull down on the front half of the loop when the shade is open to close the shade and then pull on the rear of the loop to open it later on!
