Thank you SO much! Excellent instructions and video. My husband has Alzheimer's but wants to do all the things he used to do. Since I know how important it is for him to feel useful, I'm learning to undo what he has "fixed" when I can find some time alone.
I realize this video is 4 years old, but thought you would like to know that in 2019, you just saved Thanksgiving dinner for 2 little old ladies! Thanks, Chris!!
Thank you! I'm moving out of a rental and almost spent $80 to fix our blinds, plus the the stress of going to the store around Christmas. I can't thank you enough.
We bought our house a year and a half ago. About a year ago this happened with several of the blinds in our house. I'm usually intimidated by even the smallest home projects but lately have felt motivated to go out and try to find instructions on how to fix things. I can't believe it's this easy and I've put it off this long. I just saw this video this morning at work and now I can't wait to get home and get to fixing! Thanks!
Man....video is old....but timeless!!!! You made me look like a hero in the eyes of my wife!!!! Thanks so much!. Mine were a little different and a little different issue, but watching you so easily take that blind down gave me the courage to take a chance and ended up saving a few hundred bucks!
Fixed my apartments blinds in about 15 minutes with the help of this video. Mine must have never been touched because the metal piece was realllly hard to pull off. I ended up not forcing it, just using tweezers and feeding the thread through to get some room to fish the line back onto the roller. I even wiped out the dust it collected and they’re back to normal!! Thank you!!!
Absolute legend! Managed to fix my blinds which were 'broken' for years, in just a few minutes. My problem was the rod running through all the components wasn't reaching the wheel, so as the wheel moved the other components and the blinds wouldn't. I'd never have even thought it was possible to open them up and fix it myself if it weren't for you!
WOW! I knew this was fixable, just didn't know how! Well shot, easy to see all the necessary parts! Now when I open and close the blinds, I will make sure both ends of the cord are taut and pull slowly, and I bet this will prevent it from happening again. Thanks, Chris!
Sure thing! Thanks for your comment and I'm glad it was helpful. I basically just tried to make the video I wished I would have been able to find before I started.
THAAANNNKKKK YOU!!!! I have been trying to fix my wood blinds for months and was almost resigned to just getting new blinds, but they were so expensive! I found this video and fixed both of my bedroom blinds that would not open and close correctly. I had to just put them up or down, that was my choice. But now I am so very happy that you took your time to post this video! Excellent!
This was by far the easiest diy I have ever done. Also it took about the same time as the video. Wish I saw this a few years ago so we could have been using the blinds. Thank you for the video.
GREAT instructions. I didn't think I could do it. I thought I'd break it. But your instructions were spot on and I was able to fix my blinds myself. I'm so happy! Thank you!!!!!!
Renting an expensive but falling-apart house that has crap blinds. Found your video after a year of putting up with it and voila, fixed without having to further trouble the owners! Thank you for your video!
❤ so glad I came across this video of yours, like everyone else says it may be older but it's still saving! It's December the 23rd 2024 🥰🥰🙏🙏My mom's only opens one way and has been driving all of us nuts so I'm going to try to fix it myself LOL. Thanks a lot!
We bought our house last March, we have these same blinds! They worked when we first moved in and then started getting stuck. I found this video and this was literally the exact problem we had and reason they were getting stuck! I was able to follow along to this video and fix it in minutes! THANK YOU!!! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much, all of my blinds had begun sticking and I thought I would have to replace them all! Brilliant quick solution to a quite simple issue. Bless.
Thank you very much for the wonderful demonstation with an amazingly clear video..!!!...I just now fixed the stuck venetian blind.. Please do more for the things need fixing around the house....
My husband has Parkinson’s and can’t do many of the things around the house. He used to fix everything. After watching this video, I fixed my blinds in 5 minutes. Thank you so much for the video.
Excellent video, it was quick and in depth. The visuals were clear and instructive. If you have a wand instead of cords, like me, just replace the entire mechanism.
Solution was perfect for the problem i was having with my blinds, thanks for the video. One comment, while fixing i accidentally moved the rod that connects the three twisters and one of them got misaligned when i put the rod back in, this caused the blinds to not actually turn even when the pulley was moving perfectly. Took some time to figure that out, posting the comment just in case some one else also did the same and was trying to fix it.
My husband has Parkinson’s and can no longer do many things around the house. He usually fixes everything. But after watching this video I ( his wife) fixed my blinds in 5 minutes. Thanks so much for this video
Bravo dude! This is exactly the video I was looking for. Short and sweet and to the point. I didn't even have to fast forward to skip a bunch of boring talk!! You da bomb! Now I'm gonna go fix my blinds....yay!!!! Blessings to you!
Thanks! That was my intention when making it. I couldn't find a good video when I was trying to figure it out and they were all too long, so I thought it would be helpful to make my own. Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this. My problem was a little different, I discovered, but I wouldn't have even been able to get started without this video. As it is, my blinds are now fixed!
It worked thanks! Got the light back in our living room and you made it super easy, I seen other videos of people cutting strings and I was like: oh hell no lol
It only took three of us and one argument but we got ours fixed! It’s been broken for 3 months! Thanks for the video…you saved me $50.00 for a new blind. 😁
You just help me big time!!! Two of my blinds got stuck and after I saw your video I fixed it. I feel so badass because I didn't have to wait for my husband to do it for me. 😊💪🏽 thank you!!!
I thought I messed up so had. They were half stuck on one side and we had to leave them open all night. But because of this took us 5 minutes to fix it. Thanks!!
I have slightly different blind mechanisms, but the basics are the same. Those strings get caught up on everything on the inside! This video helped me cinch it. Thanks!
Thank you very much for posting your video! I wasn’t able to take out the reel, so I used an eyeglass screwdriver to push back the cord that was on top of the reel, and it fell into place!! Thanks again!!!
I've been procrastinating on fixing the blinds but I will definitely try this weekend. Looks like an easy fix and my wife will think I just saved the world 🤠
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have never taken blinds off my window before. After watching your video, I was able to do that, and fix the strings to now open and close. I used a thin screwdriver to place the string back on the wheel. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks man, my rod snapped near the wheel and luckily it was long enough to feed through it and still work on the other wheel. You gave me the insight/knowledge/confidence for this easy fix!
Thanks so much! The wheel wouldn't come out of mine ,but I used a crochet hook to unwrap the cord and get it back on track. My husband was impressed with my repair skills.
Well done! Took my blinds down to paint, kitten played with the strings and after installing them-didn’t tilt! Your method worked for my Bali blinds. Yes, raise the blinds first as in is too cumbersome with them lowered.
Thank you for this Chris, you rock! I have been so frustrated with this issue in my home and thanks to you, I was able to resolve it in a flash. Much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to show me how its done :).
I've had the issue for almost 3 years. It turned out to be a game for my little boy starting at 18months and was successful at breaking them on 5 windows. A tried once a year ago to fix this issue and failed miserably. 🙂I gave up and was planning on replacing them all. For some reason, I didn't check on youtube and don't know why 🙂. This saved me, all fixed. Natural light is back...
8 years and this video’s still helping people! Thank you, I thought my blinds were nailed in but look like they’re easy to take down
Here in December 2024 to say thanks for posting this. Blind was stuck for weeks but fixed in minutes with this.
Thank you SO much! Excellent instructions and video. My husband has Alzheimer's but wants to do all the things he used to do. Since I know how important it is for him to feel useful, I'm learning to undo what he has "fixed" when I can find some time alone.
I'm glad it was helpful!
this is so sweet aww
Right on the money! Mine had been stuck for 2 yrs. After watching this, fixed them in 5 mins.
Great. I'm glad i could be of help!
Our blinds were broken for almost a year but then we found your video. It was an easy and cost free fix. Thanks so much! You saved the day!
I realize this video is 4 years old, but thought you would like to know that in 2019, you just saved Thanksgiving dinner for 2 little old ladies! Thanks, Chris!!
So glad to hear it! Thanks for the kind comment!
2024!
Another appreciative viewer in 2024! 👍
Thank you soooooo much....I just fixed my blinds after waiting 4 months for my husband to fix it.
Aruna Ibrahim how do you get the top piece back on again?
Your husband, no doubt, believed that he needed a round to-it in order to fix the blinds, and they are always on back order. :-)
@@ericahmed8831 He must be hitting it right ,cause I couldn't get away with that shit
My husband doesn't know to do nothing in house. I was lucky to see this video 😂
Probably the most straightforward tutorial on youtube PERIOD
Thank you! I'm moving out of a rental and almost spent $80 to fix our blinds, plus the the stress of going to the store around Christmas. I can't thank you enough.

Saw your comment and just had to reply. With UA-cam things that I never thought I could fix I have fixed at 70. Its wonderful.
Man....video is old....but timeless!!!! You made me look like a hero in the eyes of my wife!!!! Thanks so much!. Mine were a little different and a little different issue, but watching you so easily take that blind down gave me the courage to take a chance and ended up saving a few hundred bucks!

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. A 20 minute job saved me $125! Thank you!

Anymore tangles?

Good idea! Thanks for the input!

Thank you Chris! This saves me money because I thought I would need to buy new blinds! Great video!😊
Great Dad. Great Man. Thank you! ❤
Lifesaver! One of the most frustrating things about these blinds is when this happens, which is often, but now I know how to fix it :-)
Much thanks Chris for a clear audio/video and DIY education!
Oh man. You just saved my freaking day. I have 2 like this and I was hoping I googled the correct wording. Thank you Thank You
just fixed my son's blinds using this video. gotta love UA-cam!
Glad it was helpful!
"are you fixing my room?" - adorable! You were also fixing my (office) room, too. Thank you so much for your video help. Saved me time and money.
Thanks for the kind comment. I‘m glad you found the video helpful!
so glad I found this video - exactly what I needed to fix what I thought was a broken blind - thank you!
Why can't all "fix it" videos be this clear! It's so simple, screw waiting for maintenance! I can start fixing a few of them myself tomorrow.
I've had the issue for almost 3 years. It turned out to be a game for my little boy starting at 18months and was successful at breaking them on 5 windows. A tried once a year ago to fix this issue and failed miserably. 🙂I gave up and was planning on replacing them all. For some reason, I didn't check on youtube and don't know why 🙂. This saved me, all fixed. Natural light is back...
Great video! I wish I would have watched it before I cut my strings. I didn't realize the wheel mechanism came out. LOL.
Thank you! I needed to replace the low profile tilt mechanism. Also, thanks for the tip to slide the blinds out of the bracket.
Omg thanks! Lol I had that problem and thought they just broke, so glad I googled it and ran across your video! All fixed 😊
So Excellent and as good as it gets. thank you
