This is necessary to prevent the curtains from sliding to the center. Further, the plugs are fixed to the edges of the rod.

Before installation on the wall structure, all parts must be inspected carefully, since the holes may not be suitable and the plastic or wooden product may be damaged if the mounting space has not been previously expanded.
