Legrand Shading Systems has introduced Cord Keeper, a safe, compliant solution for chain-operated shades. Legrand Shading Systems‘ new solution provides safety and peace of mind for commercial and residential applications using manual chain-operated shades in locations where children may be present. It is compliant with existing chain regulations, including ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 in the U.S. and the latest corded window covering regulations under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (SOR/2019-97). With a patent-pending design, Cord Keeper can be ordered with any new manual shades or can be retrofitted to most shades on the market that use a #10 bead chain, extending safety to existing applications.
The Cord Keeper is intuitive in how it operates. To raise the shade to the desired height, simply press the lever up and then move the slider up and down. To lower, press the lever down and repeat moving the slider up and down. Cord Keeper installs in four fast and simple steps. Its switch mechanism comes preinstalled and the cover is cut to size with the appropriate labeling for each shade. Its mechanism can either hang freely or be anchored with the included anchor to the window jamb. With a low-profile design that does not impede the view, it is suitable for a variety of shading sizes and applications.
