Don’t worry, hanging curtains on a fiberglass door without drilling is possible. You just need to find the right hardware, measure carefully, and follow some simple steps. Here are some tips and tricks to help you hang curtains on a fiberglass door without drilling.
The first thing you need to do is find the right hardware for your curtains. You will need a curtain rod, brackets, rings or clips, and a drill-free method of attaching them to your door. Depending on the style and weight of your curtains, you may also need a center bracket or a valance.
There are different types of curtain rods available, such as wood, metal, or wrought iron. You can choose one that matches your decor and period of your house. However, not all curtain rods are suitable for fiberglass doors without drilling. You will need to find a drill-free method of attaching them to your door.
One option is to use suction cups with hooks that can stick to your door without leaving marks or residue. These suction cups can hold lightweight curtain rods and curtains, but they may not be very sturdy or reliable. They also have limited styles and lengths available.
Another option is to use tension rods that can fit inside the window frame of your door without screws or nails. These tension rods can hold medium-weight curtain rods and curtains, but they may not fit all window sizes or shapes. They also have limited styles and finishes available.
A third option is to use adhesive strips or command hooks that can stick to your door without damaging it. These adhesive strips or command hooks can hold heavy-weight curtain rods and curtains, but they may not be easy to remove or reposition. They also have limited styles and colors available.
The brackets are the supports that hold the rod on the door. You will need to use brackets that match the drill-free method of attaching them to your door. You can buy them from the same company that makes your drill-free hardware, or you can buy them separately from online stores such as Amazon or Etsy.
The rings or clips are the attachments that connect your curtains to the rod. You can choose between grommets, which are metal-lined holes in the curtains; tabs, which hang above the top edge of the curtain; rings, which clip onto the curtain and hang on the rod; or pocket sleeves, which slide over and completely conceal the rod. The type of ring or clip you choose will depend on the style and fabric of your curtains.

The next thing you need to do is measure your door and your curtains carefully. You will need a tape measure, a pencil, and a level.
To measure your door’s width, height, and position between the ceiling and floor, use a tape measure and mark the dimensions with a pencil. To measure your curtains’ width and length, lay them flat on the floor or a table and use a tape measure.
To determine how wide your rod should be, add 2-5 inches to each side of your door frame if you want your curtains to partially cover the door; or add 8-15 inches to each side of your door frame if you want your curtains to completely clear the door when open. To fine-tune this measurement, use a level to make sure your rod is straight and parallel to the door frame.
To determine how high your rod should be, add 4 inches above your door frame if you want a standard look; or add more inches if you want to make your room feel taller. Keep in mind that floor-length curtain panels come in standard heights of 84 inches, 95 inches, 108 inches, and 120 inches. If you decide to move the rod up, you may need to buy longer panels and hem them to length or spend more money on custom curtains.
To determine how long your curtains should be, subtract 4 inches from your rod height if you want them to sit slightly off the floor; subtract 2 inches if you want them to barely skim the floor; or add 2-4 inches if you want them to puddle on the floor. The length of your curtains may also vary depending on the type of ring or clip you use.
The last thing you need to do is follow some simple steps to hang your curtains on your fiberglass door without drilling.
Q: How do I hang curtains on a fiberglass door with a window?
A: If you have a fiberglass door with a window, you can use the same methods as above, but you may need to adjust the size and placement of your hardware. You can also use special enclosed blinds that fit securely over the window, clamping in place tightly2. These blinds provide privacy and light control without drilling holes.
Q: How do I hang curtains on a fiberglass door with a metal frame?
A: If you have a fiberglass door with a metal frame, you can use the same methods as above, but you may need to use different hardware. You can also use magnetic rods or hooks that can attach to the metal frame without drilling holes. These rods or hooks are easy to install and remove, but they may not be very sturdy or reliable.
Q: How do I hang curtains on a fiberglass door with a curved shape?
A: If you have a fiberglass door with a curved shape, you can use the same methods as above, but you may need to use custom-made hardware. You can order custom-made rods and brackets that can bend to match the shape of your curve from online companies such as Continental Window Fashions or Rose Brand. You can also use flexible rods or hooks that can adapt to the curve of your door.
Hanging curtains on a fiberglass door without drilling is a fun and easy way to transform your door and your space. With some alternative methods like suction cups, tension rods, Velcro strips, or command hooks, you can hang any type of curtain on your door without screws or nails. Just remember to measure your door and your curtains carefully, choose the right hardware for your curtains, install them on your door according to the instructions, slide the curtains onto the rod or rings, and adjust them to your liking. You can also choose from different styles, colors, and patterns of curtains, to suit your style and preference. We hope you enjoyed this post and learned something new. Happy hanging!
