    Geez, I cannot believe how simple this was. I had my blinds for 2 weeks and they were 'off' by like 1'. I did this 2-3x quick - and they are fixed. Videos this well-done and HELPFUL, restore my faith in UA-cam videos when seeking help / answers. Thanks!!!!!

      BS. Still working on it and it’s not releasing the jacked-up side.
      About to give up and chuck the whole thing in the trash, it’s frustrating and stressful and I’m getting tired of people’s advice not working.

      @@hobomike6935 it did take me a few attempts. But I just looked and ‘yes’ it’s lower on one side 🤦‍♂️ I’ll try again and see if it works again 🤷‍♂️ It honestly did when I hung the blind…

    Never in my wildest dreams did I think it could be this easy. I had tried that myself when I hung them initially and gave up, but I just wasn't doing it aggressively enough. And like the other comments, I believe that IS key. Really appreciate this!

    This is so simple I can't believe I've never thought to try it! I usually like to trim mini blinds to length which as you said also would take care of it, but I've been putting off doing that to fix a set in the kitchen that's been crooked since it went up. Fixed now, and I suppose I can live with some extra slats at the bottom.

    We have Levolor cordless blinds with the push button for lifting from Lowes. Overtime a few of the blinds have started not pulling down far enough to cover the window and its slowly getting worse. You cant pull them down any more no mater how much you try.

    For those who have roman shades -- this works, but it's easier and more precise to reach behind the blinds while they're open, grab the strings near the top rail, and do this motion directly on the strings themselves.
