my landlady just told me to replace this blinds it will cost me $450.00 with labor and materials . Im so Glad I found your video. Saves me a lot of money. Thank you so much
I’ve been living in a brand new apartment complex for six months and even the maintenance man didn’t know how to fix blind issue where was off one gear. Thank you so much. Everything looks aesthetically pleasing now.
Awesome. Big thumbs up. I had the one blind that spun loosely. Followed your instructions and IT WORKED! I took an up-close picture of the connection area/plastic hardware so that I could better assess how to reinsert everything. Your instructions were great. I would never have figured out how to do this. Thanks.
I had the first problem with the blind that would not settle with the rest because it was facing the wrong way by 90 degrees. It took a bit of courage to grab the mechanism to twist it back to the same as all the other carriers, but I swallowed hard and twisted. A loud click followed, and the job was done. Many, many thanks for a super video.😀
This just saved me money!! I just bought new ones and since my door locks in the middle my son broke the gear after only a week of them hanging. This was why I bought new ones😂 thought because of that little piece I was going to again. Thank you thank you so very much!!!
Bro I literally was gonna to destroy the damn vertical blinds today because I couldn't put the damn gear back in with the clip. And you did it in one go. I fix them tomorrow for sho
Greedy f-ing companies MAKE them like that so you’ll spend more money replacing them. When that happens never replace them with a like kind, like you said switch to curtains or something
I fought with that little gear piece for well over an hour trying to get it back in its hole. After watching your video, I realized I had been trying to put it in wrong. Thanks for the info
Thank you! I'm a master at this now I help people all the time I had one that was off clicks so I loosened it to when it would be open and started clicking them all evenly until theu were perpendicular it was 2 clicks on each and then I twisted it and it was like it was brand new I like these alot especially mine it's in my master bed room I have a deck off the bedroom and it used all the time so when the blinds don't work it's a big hassle. Thank you very much!
Great video quality and to the point. I just fixed mine in 5 minutes! I wish you had a link so I could send a few dollars. I’ve seen that on other videos and have sent $ as a thank you for saving me time and cash. 👍👍
Thank you for an awesome video. I learned several things in this video that I did not know before. After watching this video I repaired my vertical blind. The paper clip was the one that did it for me. Thank you again for the video.
My problem is the swizzle stick doesnt turn, Im going to see if its the gear like on the carrier just popped out. Thanks for showing me how to check for it.
thank you. I just moved into an apartment and I have all three of those problems. the day I moved in maintenance came in and said they fixed them all but they're all still having the same problem
Thanks for this!!! I hate rhose rebellious, renegade vanes!!! And, for the ones that tear like that last one you showed, I just cut it straight across underneath the hole, then make a new hole and snap it back in. It's a little shorter than the others, but it's not that big a deal!
Thanks for your clear repair instructions, very helpful. I have 2 sets of these blinds installed on sliding glass doors in a short term rental. The downstairs set operates well, no problems. The set on the main floor are used frequently, and are often damaged by renters unfamiliar with operating them. Now the problem is that the white cord used to slide the panels open and closed is jammed, so will not move. I am able to manually slide the panels open. Is there a way to fix this cord?
It’s possible that if you take apart the gear part where the cord goes that you could get it going again. But, to be honest, We got rid of all of the corded ones at our rentals. Tenants seemed to struggle with them more.
I'm having the same issue, Sky Management. The stick is stuck on my blinds as well and won't twist one way or the other. It feels like there is a lot of force stuck behind it. Note, it still freely slides down the track, just won't twist.
I’m having issue re installing the part that goes horizontal over the metal rail. I ordered the 3 clips that attach to the actual square rail but I can not find the plastic edging that goes over that blind that keeps it ridged
Thanks, great video! Now if only, you could show me how to keep my toddler from pulling them down after i fix them with the paper clip trick. 🤔 Maybe i should try heavy duty staples
Can’t believe no one commented on your muscles, your video was great too. Hmmm. I have the first issue like others. I tried to turn it all the way to the left it moved somewhat but not enough to make a big difference- it actually seemed to move back. Is there a trick to this? Maybe I have to push up or down. Scared I’ll break it!
amazon sells special super sticky clear stickers to fix the slats hole issue, which should hold up pretty well, and are less than $10. gonna give em a shot.
Hey thanks so much for the video unfortunately my issue isn't there. I've just gone to install a blind and the mechanism is faulty. Both sides of the string close not open. I've pulled on the string to 2 3rds of the way along and they open and close. But about a 3rd away from the string there's a block of about 5 of the wee plastic sections that clump together tightly. After this point is where both string sides only open . Please help
Could you put up a different link to the individual replacement blinds since your link is unavailable? Thanks for letting us know that we don't have to replace the whole set. Big savings!
Thanks so much for this instructional video. I heard there is a repair kit for the broken ones rather than doing the paper clip, do you know where I can buy it? But even the paper clip repair is a blessing as well as the other tips.
I have been trying unsuccessfully to place the little gear (that mates with the rotating rod). Reference approximately minute 2:30 of your video. It keeps falling out before I can place the clip. Also what should the position of the gear's teeth be relative to the clip?
Nice video, I have vertical blinds on my sliding doors entering outdoor porch but when opens it all pulls on one side when opening, how do I fix or change that??
Great vid! The prob i have with my vertical blinds on my sliding door it doesnt move side to side like when i open it like half of it moves back together and the other half just stays there and i have push it back what would be the best way to fix this?
Check all of the sliding pieces and make sure they are all in the frame right. Sometimes one of them can get off the track and it can bind up and not slide right. If they all seem to be on there the same way, then try some WD40 on the track and the bar down the middle. See if that helps it start sliding better.
Hey there, I'm having another issue with my blinds. When I try to turn the wand to let partial light in it only opens about 10% and never anymore, very frustrating. My only option is to completely pull the whole blind open but then everyone can see inside. Do you have a fix or do I need new blinds please?
Thank you! This is probably one of the best vertical blinds repair video on UA-cam - simple and to the point!
my landlady just told me to replace this blinds it will cost me $450.00 with labor and materials . Im so Glad I found your video. Saves me a lot of money. Thank you so much

Glad we could help!
This just saved me money!! I just bought new ones and since my door locks in the middle my son broke the gear after only a week of them hanging. This was why I bought new ones😂 thought because of that little piece I was going to again. Thank you thank you so very much!!!
The first one is exactly my problem, thanks for the instruction!
No problem! Glad we could help :)
Bro I literally was gonna to destroy the damn vertical blinds today because I couldn't put the damn gear back in with the clip. And you did it in one go. I fix them tomorrow for sho
Thank you for clear directions to replace teeth so it turns with the rest of the blind. Saved me major replacement dollars. Blessings!!!
My love / hate relationship with verticals & you nailed all the fixes! Thank you so much !
Thank you! This is the best instructions regarding the gears on UA-cam!
The link to this video should be posted next to every set of vertical blinds ever, haha. Thank you so much!
I’ve had all these problems within one year. Never knew blinds were so janky. Next time, I’m getting curtains.
Haha. Yeah, curtains are simpler for sure.
The 📎 worked. Thank you!
I hate these shitty blinds the apt makes me use
Yeah I moved in and each day one slat falls down I will replace it with curtains period!
Greedy f-ing companies MAKE them like that so you’ll spend more money replacing them. When that happens never replace them with a like kind, like you said switch to curtains or something
Thanks Buddy! Couple of my slats came off and I used your paper clip technique and it worked 👍🏼
Perfect easy fix for my stuck slats and a lot of other good info about vertical blinds. Thank you!
No problem!
Just 'clicked' one of the askew vertical panels to the right position. Great tip!
I fought with that little gear piece for well over an hour trying to get it back in its hole. After watching your video, I realized I had been trying to put it in wrong. Thanks for the info
Gave your video a like for the tip at 4:35
That fix is exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks.
Though the quick fix with a paper clip was a great video and I did fix it temporarily
Thanks for the video. You saved me lots of dime of buying new ones.
Omg that paper clip tip is brilliant!
Wow! So good! You answered and showed everything that I was needing to know about those darn blinds. Thank you
One of the best video about the vertical blinds thanks
Thank you! I'm a master at this now I help people all the time I had one that was off clicks so I loosened it to when it would be open and started clicking them all evenly until theu were perpendicular it was 2 clicks on each and then I twisted it and it was like it was brand new I like these alot especially mine it's in my master bed room I have a deck off the bedroom and it used all the time so when the blinds don't work it's a big hassle.

Fantastic thank you my blind was sticking.

Thanks. Awesome information. I had one vane which didn’t turn for more than a year. Viewed your video and now it works. SMH
Well I have tried to concentrate on the subject :)) Tks a million!
OMG I just fixed my blind! Thank you!!!
Thanks much SKy !!! Do expect any click while inserting this flat part like @2.58. Looks like it's missing in my case
Very useful content, to the point. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video. Another problem i have and need help with is the wand will not open or close blinds. Any tips? Thank you.
I'm having the same issue, Sky Management. The stick is stuck on my blinds as well and won't twist one way or the other. It feels like there is a lot of force stuck behind it. Note, it still freely slides down the track, just won't twist.
Great video. Big help with fixing ours.

Ros, my vertical blind pole is not opening and closing the blinds. Do you have a solution for this please.
Very helpful. Where can i find the replacement parts for this?
Thanks Ross, When I pull the string all the blinds don't move to one side. Any ideas? thx
Hey thanks so much for the video unfortunately my issue isn't there. I've just gone to install a blind and the mechanism is faulty. Both sides of the string close not open.

thanks! you helped me fixed mine.
And the clips can you purchase those as well
Thank you. This is great 😊
Awesome finally fixed mine 👍
Could you put up a different link to the individual replacement blinds since your link is unavailable? Thanks for letting us know that we don't have to replace the whole set. Big savings!
Terrific video that solved several problems and made it easy. Thank you for a great tutorial.
Thank you! The paper clip helped! 😊
Thanks so much for this instructional video.
I heard there is a repair kit for the broken ones rather than doing the paper clip, do you know where I can buy it?
But even the paper clip repair is a blessing as well as the other tips.
Where can I get some loose vertical panels to replace my blinds
Can you purchase those gears?
Great! Thank you. But the whole blinds won’t turn? Any idea on how to solve it?
Where can you get new gears for vertical blinds
I have been trying unsuccessfully to place the little gear (that mates with the rotating rod). Reference approximately minute 2:30 of your video. It keeps falling out before I can place the clip. Also what should the position of the gear's teeth be relative to the clip?
what about when the rotating poll doesn't turn the blinds anymore? if that makes sense..
What’s happens if the clip to hold the blind in place is broken?
Nice video, I have vertical blinds on my sliding doors entering outdoor porch but when opens it all pulls on one side when opening, how do I fix or change that??
Great vid! The prob i have with my vertical blinds on my sliding door it doesnt move side to side like when i open it like half of it moves back together and the other half just stays there and i have push it back what would be the best way to fix this?

@@SkyManagement Thanks for the advice!
4:56 was helpful, thanks!
Thank you for this helpful video!
Thank you. Your video was very helpful.
I did that a very old vertical blinder I am currently renting and it snapped and broke down since the plastic is old. It was funny to me. 😂
Thank you! that's genius, I hope it works.
Hey there, I'm having another issue with my blinds. When I try to turn the wand to let partial light in it only opens about 10% and never anymore, very frustrating. My only option is to completely pull the whole blind open but then everyone can see inside. Do you have a fix or do I need new blinds please?
Same😢
Wr can we buy the strings in single
That was awesome that was fast to fix thank you
Nice, simple, informative vid. Thank you. You mention a link to buy slats but I can’t find it. Can you please provide that link?
