    I am trying to join two very short cords together, inside my ceiling hung curtain rail, can I join by stitching them together? or can I get the cord out and rethread through the existing circle hooks?

      Hi Curious.You could tie a small knot,but only if that join does not need to go through a pulley.Best thing is to replace the cord or remove the cord and operate the curtains by hand. N.B. if the cord is broken or frayed it is usually indicates a problem with the cording anyway. Good Luck.

    I've just re-corded three wide tracks that were quite messed up (I bought an ex-rental from hell to live in) and this video helped me heaps! I'd forgotten how to do it. After a good clean (someone thought industrial grease might make them work argh!!!) and replacing the gliders they work perfectly. Very relieved to have them working and all of the centres match. Thank you!

    Thanks John, after watching several videos yours's was the one that I used and finally got it right. The FIRST tie off is the most crucial one. Frustration was mounting before you came up with the solution.

    Where do I purchase the cord? In Australia btw, have a spotlight store near me

    • @themav3420
      @themav3420 Рік тому

      Anybody who makes curtain, tracks usually a curtain maker. yes spotlight or lincraft, Ebay. Most common size is 2.0 do not use 1.4 or 1.6mm. Good luck.

    Dam, doesn't show properly how to detach from brackets, or at least not the ones I have. My cord's still threaded, just the outer layer of the string is gone, so I can just follow it to rethread, but first I need to figure out how to get it down

    • @themav3420
      @themav3420 Рік тому

      There are many different brackets. Bottom line is they are all simple mechanics. Take your time & think iot out.

    • @mehere8038
      @mehere8038 Рік тому

      @@themav3420 I found another video that showed me how to do it, there's a screw on the outside of the brackets that needs unscrewing to release them. Not a case of "think it out" for me, I'm in a wheelchair & was sitting on milk crates to reach the curtain rod over my sink & could just reach it sitting on 4 milk crates high & leaning over, but certainly not get to a location where I could actually see the screw or what I was doing, I needed the information in advance as to what I had to feel for & manipulate to release them

    Brilliant video - followed it and re-corded the curtains successfully. Not a chance I would have been able to do it without your explanations. A small flat head screwdriver was another good tool to use with the tweezers. Cheers

    great video !!! easy explanation !!! Thank you for this video. after I started applying curtains to sliders the curtain plates didn't move perfectly, they stay at same place, but only the cord moves. if the video would have been extended until the application of curtain to sliders and moving accordingly that would be appreciated
