How To Install Cordless Faux Wood Window Blinds

- This video shows how quick and easy it is to install window blinds. In this case I demonstrate the mounting of Cordless Faux Wood Blinds via an inside mount configuration. The install process will be the same for window blinds with cords as well. Most blinds come in standard sizes that fit most modern house window openings and can be mounted in multiple fashions. These Faux Wood Blinds I feel look best when mounted inside the window opening.

You are the best of all blind installation video. Simple and cover all bases.
O wow, awesome comment on this installing window blinds video. Thanks
I agree!!!
Quick, right to the point no rambling on. A little too quick but I just watched it a couple times. 👍🏼 Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Short and to the point video for the DIY folks. Thanks!
Thank You Marsha, Have a great weekend
For the first time ever, the included instructions didn't make total sense to me. And I want to avoid dumb mistakes. This video really made it much clearer in my mind. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing that this video helped with the installation of your blinds.
Thank you! My dad and I did it in 30 minutes cheers mate! 🍻
Your video helped clarify the instructions for me. Worked great! Thanks for posting.
So glad to hear it was helpful
Thank you sooo much! I just bought the blinds today and bought me a hyper tough 18-volt drill. The instructions were absolutely fantastic the only thing I would add is make sure you take out the tension pin
thanks for the kind comment regarding the blind install video Caprena
what is the tension pin? My install looks bowed starting from the top
Appreciated, thanks! This lil project was making me angry today and this video helped. It’s not up yet since it’s about 11pm, but addressing that drill bit that created the initial channels in the wall is where I went wrong-didn’t do them. Now I know!👊🏼
Great to hear it was useful for you. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for this video! It was very helpful & straight to the point :-) I got the blinds up by happen stance & was not able to get them back down. Well seeing your video showed me to just pull down but I was scared I was going to snatch them down....lol Come to find out that's exactly what I needed to do was pull....Thanks again:-)
Awesome, So great to hear this video helped you with your blinds installation.
Bro thank you you mad this so simple 😂
thanks
Thanks for the video, worked perfectly for my cordless faux wood blinds!
Great to hear it was helpful, thanks for the comment.
YOU THE MAN 5 STAR
Thanks
You are a lifesaver! I lost the instructions and found your video extremely helpful!!! I have 2 plastic pieces (not the clips) that I'm not sure where they go. Can't find out how to add a picture to this comment.
Great to hear the video helped you install your blinds. My guess is the extra pieces you are referring to are trim cap pieces that go on the edges of the weight/blind section at the bottom of the blinds.
@@MrKistel thanks!
Thank you for making it easy and explaining it simple. I have about four of them to install lol.
Thanks and best of luck with your multiple blinds installation.
Thanks!
You bet! Thank you.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks I was trying to figure out how to bring the blinds down. Didn't realize it was pull down.
great to hear the video was helpful
You should tell people to make sure the center bracket is not perfectly centered or it will get in the way of the middle string.
Agreed! Just had this problem and having a hard time unlocking it all and starting over!
Thanks so much, this video was very helpful.
Awesome to hear it was helpful regarding your blind installation.
Yes I recently installed a similar faux wood blind. After I cut them down to size, id est removed excess slats, it's seem to have ruined the balance of the blinds, and they no longer can be raised or lowered. Do you have any suggestions how to correct this? I have noticed that in the valance mechanism each of the three support cords are attached to small cylinders. Does the tension on the cylinders need to be released?
I noticed you could get a balance issue if the strings in the bottom blind are not inserted correctly. It is a little tricky to get things inserted just right into those holes.
Dude! You blinded me!
Haha, those darn pearly whites are always causing camera problems

What if u want to open pull up the blind
I didnt have to cut my blind but after I installed it into the brackets it in no way retracts. Why?
Trazon McMullen he missed that part 🤔
I bought the same blinds and didn't notice that they should not be shortened....says weight is needed. Does your blind have any difficulty raising and lowering?
these blinds included instructions on how to trim them and did not advise against it. They work great.
Did it thanks
Awesome, congrats on your DIY window blinds installation.
So it was properly installed and working, but now will not go up, suggestions?
The blinds have to be open not closed them push it up
Is the weight of the excess slats needed for the cordless operation? I recently purchased an Allen & Roth blind and it recommends against shortening. Should I disregard this and follow your instructions?
hmm, didn't such a warning on the product used in the video. It was not an issue an issue for these blinds
thanks.. eventually I'll get around to trimming bc they are awkward to operate with the extra weight on the end. thanks!
@@tracyjordan5678 manual says (lowes version) do not trim more than 10 inches. Not sure if less weight would do something to the mechanism.
@@petefork5799 thanks! Two years later and I still have not gotten around to trimming.lol
@@tracyjordan5678 ha! how are they working out for you this far? Any issues? I just trimmed couple from home depot and it was tedious but not so bad.
I only have a 5 amp drill and doesn’t drill the hole for the inside mount do I need to purchase another drill?
you can probably get by without the drill and just carefully use a screwdriver
Very informative video, although My wife is angry at me because I keep saying “nubbins”.
HAHA, that is awesome. Best of luck with your window blinds installation.
Yay!!! NUBBINS!!!
I bought the same ones and they get stuck half way down. They will go all the way but I cannot pull it all the way down. Why?
Thanks for commenting on the cordless blinds installation video. Not sure what the issue is but please advise if you are able to remedy.
Why get blinds bigger than the opening wouldn’t this cause them not to fit inside the sill?
Window openings come in a variety of sizes. For this type of off-the-shelf product blind manufactures build the blinds in a few sizes that can cover most window openings with slight adjustments.
Forgot to mention to off center the center bracket to avoid center cords
thanks for the blinds installation tip
You did not plug the holes for the brackets. Good Vedio anyway.
You didn’t bring the window up and down after you installed 🤔
Jose hope the video provided some insight on setting up window blinds.
My blinds won't come down , can't figure how to fix it
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your blinds. Please advise if you are able to troubleshoot and fix the problem.
@@MrKistel I was able to fix it. The inside thing was jammed or locked into place. Thanks for checking up
Need to have instructions for CORDLESS Faux Blinds
Here's the problem that isn't fully addressed in this video.
The center string is attached to the spring mechanism at the top, and goes through the bottom thicker blind. When you remove the nubs, you'll see a small black ring tied to the end of the string. There are TWO strings, winding onto separate drum which lie beside each other.This ring prevents the string from coming out of the blind. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you cut this string, otherwise it will retract into the spring box, and you will have a devil of a job recovering it. This is probably why the retract mechanism isn't working.
I was lucky that I had another blind to look at so I could restring my faux pas.
Michael Caswell thank you! I thought this video was helpful because I was “having a devil of a job” with basic installation! But your tip is an important part of this project and would be frustrating at that point if I didn’t get that right. 👍🏼
Wish I would have seen this before I started. The instructions I found(ON THE MANUFACTURE SITE) told me to untie the lift cord from the bottom and slide out the blind slats (DO NOT DO THAT FOR THIS PARTICULAR SET OF BLINDS ALLEN + ROTH FROM LOWES). Doing this caused the lift cord to shoot off into the top of the gear spring box, I attempted to recover it. Unfortunately when the string shot up inside it broke the gear spring and ruined the mechanism.
Ok.. So! I was the dummy who cut the strings (like I have on all blinds before) to shorten them and the cord retracted. I used the other blind I had as a guide to restring with great results. Set it down carefully with the strings anchored to keep from retracting again, but when I picked it up to hang the cord would no longer retract. I have no idea what happened. Any suggestions on repair?
Welp I cut the wrong string and the blinds come out wtf
I'm sure you will find amazing woodworking plans on Stodoys.
Too easy and basic
indeed, thanks for watching
