FAQs
What material are the Speedy Ball Holdbacks made from?
They are constructed from durable metal.
What color is the finish?
The holdbacks have a Matt Black finish.
How many holdbacks are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two holdbacks.
What are the dimensions of each holdback?
The dimensions are 145mm (height) x 85mm (width) x 175mm (depth).
Are screws and wall plugs included for installation?
The product information does not specify if mounting hardware is included. It is recommended to have appropriate screws and wall plugs suitable for your wall type ready for installation.
Can these holdbacks be used for very heavy curtains?
While made of metal, they are best suited for standard weight curtains. Extremely heavy curtains may strain the holdbacks or require a more robust mounting solution.
How should I clean the holdbacks?
Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Holdback feels loose after installation
Ensure screws are tightened securely into the wall. If the wall is drywall, use appropriate wall anchors for a firmer grip. Check if the mounting surface is solid.
Curtain does not stay secured
Adjust the position of the holdback to provide more tension on the curtain. Ensure the curtain is wrapped sufficiently around the ball. Consider if the curtain fabric is too heavy for the holdback's capacity.
Matt black finish shows marks or smudges easily
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For fingerprints, a microfiber cloth is effective. Avoid touching the finish with oily hands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation typically involves mounting the holdbacks to the wall at the desired height. This usually requires basic tools such as a drill, screws, and wall plugs (which may or may not be included). Position the holdbacks on either side of the window frame, ensuring they are level and securely fastened.
Compatibility:
These holdbacks are best suited for standard weight curtains. They are designed to be used with curtains that have loops or can be easily wrapped around the ball. They may not be ideal for extremely heavy blackout curtains or very delicate fabrics. The 145mm x 85mm x 175mm dimensions mean they have a reasonable reach to accommodate various curtain widths.
Care:
To maintain the appearance of the matt black finish, clean the holdbacks periodically with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution followed by drying with a clean cloth should suffice.
