Magnetic blind brackets

My rental apartment has metal window frames. Rather than drill into
them I'd like to find magnetic brackets for venetian blinds. Does anyone
know where I might find such a thing?

i'm not sure. i'd do a search for "blind hardware" or something similar, maybe put in a brand name "XYZ hardware" and see if anyone makes it. if the blind is really heavy (because of it's width or length, or if it's metal), i don't think any magnet would work. but if it's a lightweight vinyl miniblind, you may have better luck with double-sided sticky mounting foam squares.

Magnetic blind brackets

Thanks for the input. I've tried all kinds of GOOGLE searches and there are magnetic curtain rods but I've not seen brackets for venetian blinds.

I guess the double sided tape is one way to go but I thought that if I could get a strong enough magnet that would do the job.

Thanks again.

If you don't want to drill holes, The brackets can be installed with silicone sealant. Yes it has tremondous holding power. Put a thin coating on the bracket, tape it to the window. In 24 hours, remove the tape and install the blind in the brackets.
