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…
Just about to give up and send my new blind back but watched your video and it worked first time. You’ve saved me a lot of hassle thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
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!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I have lived with an uneven for a while now!!!! Not being a professional, I thought I had really messed up - with 1- yes 1 blind out of 8 blinds!!! This is crazy! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
This is awesome to look at. I was to adjust all 10 of my blinds in 5 minutes. Quick easy fix. It is not going to get any better than this. Thanks a million. I am very pleased.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! When watching your video I thought that is not going to work. But I tried it right away and it DID!! Unbelievable! And you are an excellent teacher too!!! Thank you!
Thank you!!! I was getting ready to order all new blinds, even had them in my cart, & with your help I fixed the problem in less than 30 seconds. Wow!!😁
You are a genius! Thank you so much! The other instructions I received were onerous and I could not have done them by myself. You made my OCD so much better. Thank you!
This just happened to me over the weekend. One of my blinds were curving and I was moving out up and down. I tried your trick and it absolutely worked! Thank you so much, you helped me out so much with this video!
My blinds have been bothering every single day for 8 months and I finally had the thought of searching for a solution on UA-cam. This was the video that first popped up and I literally did it WHILE watching this video and mimicking his method, within 3 seconds, my blinds are perfectly straight. The feeling of shock and instant gratification is the best! Thanks!
Visited my son today and the first thing he ask is how to repair his cordless blinds. If it wasn't for your post yesterday, I would have been clueless. Thanks as always Scott!
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.
Absolute mind blown... I'm like yeah right because mine looked stretched from one side as if it were loose. It looked so tacky and was nerve racking. My blinds are also very wide and i gave it a shot and IT WORKED!!!!
I've been wondering if this would work but was afraid I'd just mess them up so never tried. Finally got fed up & found your video, tried it on my office blinds & it worked! I'm about to go around the whole house 😆
I'm glad I came across this video while exploring your channel! I was just dealing with the same issue with my blinds, so thank you for the helpful tip!
I didn’t realize that it was this easy! 🤦♂️ 3yrs ago we bought a used Camp Trailer & there was 1 blind that was crooked!! 😤 This fixed it first try!!! 😃🎉
They you so much, this apartment complex put in these cheap as* blind's, and ai couldn't figure out how to let them down.. I was lost before your video, thank you so much!!❤❤
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.
Thanks Ralph, yeah these type of videos don’t have broad appeal but really come in handy for those who have the specific issue. Thanks for the support 👍
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.
Ok, the aggressive pull is key! Couldn’t get one of my blinds even, even after trying to raise one end and lower the other. But saw this, tried it with an aggressive jerk and voila! Fixed! Thank you SO much!
Nice! This worked with my 2.5" blinds with about a 6" slant on them. I did this trick 2 times in a row and it fully corrected the issue. Thanks for the video!
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.
This was a way easier fix than I was anticipating when I first hit Google. Thank you so much! Moved into a new place and the crooked blinds were such an eyesore.
Thank you thank you thank you. What an easy fix. I was ready to take my mini blinds down, rehang them or take them apart somehow and probably throw them in the trash😂😂. This was super easy.
🎉 You don't even know how ecstatic I am right now! I had 3 blinds with this issue in the house I bought. I've been waiting to buy new ones since money is tight. I watched this video and fixed all three!!!!! 🙌🏼 I just have another issue ... Some of them won't go up all the way. Do you have a video on how to fix that issue?
Thanks so much! This worked really well! I had no idea how to fix the problem and was afraid I had to open the top casing. But your solution absolutely worked!
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.
Amazing! One of my blinds had been slightly crooked for years and I was putting off adjusting the strings. This trick worked in about 4 minutes. Thanks!
Good grief…where have you been the past 12 years!! I’ve taken my blinds down, tightened the string, replaced the crooked blinds…with blinds that were even WORSE! I decided today to take them down but found you just in time!! Thank you…THANK YOU!!!!

Oh my goodness!!! I have dealt with uneven blinds for two years, and THIS FIXED IT!! Thank you so much for this information!! 😊❤
My friend, I was about to go crazy with this brand new but uneven blind....and that's a short drive. THANK YOU !
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!
Yep me to I was being very gentle
This video is 2 years old, and still helpful. Thank you!

Finally!!!! I've looked at about 7 different videos on how to let down blinds and you are the First one to show me how!!! Thank You!!!
Wow! Thank you for putting this out. Had 4 sets of blinds that were uneven, and your method fixed them all. Great how to video.
It worked perfectly for me. Thank you for the easy fix that would have taken me forever to figure out on my own.
I’ve had uneven blinds for months now and I can’t believe it was this simple!!! I was thinking I would have to replace them completely

I am still stumped why the manufacturers don't call out this fix since the problem is pretty common 🤷♂️
Thanks this was really helpful I had to read just one sentence from your video and it solved the problem.
You are coming up with several good tips for people.
Thanks Ralph, yeah these type of videos don’t have broad appeal but really come in handy for those who have the specific issue. Thanks for the support 👍

Wow, never would have thought this would fix the stubborn blinds. Worked like a charm after a few tries. 30 second fix!

Just so simple. I have had crooked blinds for a while now thinking it may be a big job to fix. Ha, was I wrong.
This was helpful, the unevenness blind drives me crazy. But should the blind be open when raising and lowering?
