How do you get the drapery rod to open from the middle?

To get a drapery rod to open from the middle, you typically need a center-opening rod designed for this purpose. These rods often have a mechanism that allows the drapes to slide apart from the center when you pull on the cords or rings attached to them. Ensure that the rod is installed correctly, and that the curtains are properly threaded through the brackets and rings to facilitate smooth movement. If the rod has a specific locking mechanism, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for optimal operation.
