Graber 7/16-Inch Round Spring Tension Rod 8 to 11-Inch Adjustable Width - White, 2 Rods per Pack by Graber

Fits perfectly in the transit lighting side of my front door. I needed a tension rod to fit this very skinny window but could not find one anywhere in stores. This is exactly what I hang a curtain for privacy.

These are easy to adjust by just twisting the rods, and perfect for light-weight curtains that are in the windows of french doors or sidelights. The rods are not true white, but ivory/ecru, which is fine if the curtains cover the rods. The small brass colored edge where the rods join in the middle is thin enough to allow curtains to be pulled closed or open easily. These are the smallest tension rods I could find, the only ones that fit my 11" wide windows of the french doors, and even the rubber ends stay completely within the wood frame of the window glass, which is only a half inch deep. These metal rods are round, unlike other tension rods on the market or in stores that are oval/flattened shape. I intend to buy more for the bottom of the curtains, to keep the curtains in place when the door opens, without swinging. Using white or pale-colored,gathered curtains, there is still light while providing privacy. The price is very reasonable for the package of 2 tension rods and they adjust without tools by simply twisting, much better than the Kirsch tension rods that require a screwdriver and can fall apart when adjusting--with the spring bouncing out---if you don't hold onto both ends of the rod. These Graber tension rods work well and don't sag or lose their tension in the 2 weeks since I installed them into 11" wide window frames with a 1/2" inside window frame edge.The curtains are ecru, thin cotton, embroidered and gathered.

Ordered for our sidelight window curtain. It holds the curtain in place and it’s very sturdy.

Was the perfect size for the small window beside the front door, easy to install and good quality.
