    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.

    First time having cordless blinds and it was driving me nuts how uneven they were. I tried lifting them up all the way and pulling them down slowly and evenly to no avail. My partner said that it was just the nature of blinds and unfixable. After watching this video, I fixed it in a minute. Thank you.

    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.

    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.

  • @DK-sc4hb
    @DK-sc4hb 3 роки тому

  • @aMulliganStew

    On mine, the string had jumped the spool in the (spring loaded) take-up mechanism and then slightly wrapped itself around the axle. It took some time and patience to fix. I nearly blundered in a way that would have realeased all the tension. Fortune prevailed. The only damage, if any, was to the topmost slat (that may have already been broken). As I was prepared to replace the blind, pressure was low. Out of maybe three previous attempts at this kind of repair, I think this was the first success. Good Luck.

    @johnchang8279 3 місяці тому

    When there are more lift strings, the teeter totter jerk doesn't work whereas a slow pull on the high side while supporting the low side will allow the lift strings to even out. It does take more tension than you might expect, perhaps 20 lbs or so. When you feel the string start to slide, that's all you need. This also has the advantage of greater control, and is less likely to break a string since the peak tension is lower.
