Channel guide system with secure twist lock mechanism
Twist Lock Channel Guides provide a middle ground between the minimal guidance of a wire guide system and the full enclosure of a zip-guided system. Side channels guide the baserail as the blind travels up and down, keeping the fabric flat and aligned, while the innovative 5 sided baserail allows the blind to be secured at multiple positions along its travel — without requiring a dedicated lock at every stopping point.
The twist-lock system is the distinguishing innovation here. The twist-lock mechanism engages at the desired position, providing a secure hold that resists wind movement. It's a system designed for frequent adjustments — homeowners who like to change their blind position through the day as sun angles shift.
The channel guide on each side keeps the baserail travelling true as the blind is raised and lowered.
The easily adjustable five-sided baserail at the bottom allows for precise levelling and provides a weight that helps the blind stay even.
How does the twist-lock mechanism work?
The blind can be secured at any position by engaging the twist-lock — a positive locking action that holds the blind in place against wind without requiring a separate locking accessory.
Are multiple stopping positions available?
Yes — the system accommodates multiple stopping points along the blind's travel.
How does this differ from a zip-guided system?
The channel guides the baserail but doesn't seal them as completely as a zip-guided system — a good balance of stability and cost-effectiveness for most outdoor applications.
What is the five-sided baserail?
The baserail is a weighted bottom bar that helps the blind lock into postion. The five-sided profile allows easy levelling adjustment after installation.
