    Dude, I spent 100k on a college education, and still couldn't figure this out. I was ready to rip these blinds out and sleep with the sun in my face. Thank you, from the bottom of my broke heart.

      Fr thank you so much. I was getting so annoyed cause I was trying to take a nap, but I couldn’t get my blinds down and then when I got them down, I was literally crying because I was so happy. I was so confused. I thought it was stuck since it was so heavy, but I found out it’s meant to be that.

    I saw 5 videos and couldn't close my fancy blinds. Key word was "listen to the click." I ran back to the blind and it worked! Thank you! 🙏🙏

    I literally pulled these blinds up almost all the way at 1 in the morning and started to freak out but then I watched this video and the “pull left and down” part saved me.

    You're video is a life saver! If i had purchased these blinds myself, even after figuring out how they worked, i would have destroyed them out of spite. Its very poor design that its not intuitive when it should be. All other blinds are.

    I have a question, I have blind with strings on both sides over kitchen window at night when we close them they won't stay closed they open part ways on their own. I use a clip to hold the string in down position and hook the clip to my cabinet. Is there any way to adjust the string so blinds will stay shut

  • @ShravaniK-k4f
    @ShravaniK-k4f 2 місяці тому

    I accidentally pulled the right side hangings which are short and didn’t pull the longer ones
    Now the blinds are half way up but now I cannot put them down again
    What’s your suggestion for me to pull down all the blinds

    • @fixthishouse3303
      @fixthishouse3303  2 місяці тому

      If the blinds are uneven, pull the individual strings until they line up. Tie a knot in the strings so they stay lined up. You should be able to follow the instructions in the video afterwards.

    my parents had a business selling blinds for 30+ years . Never raise or lower blinds unless slats fully open. Can you tell us which of the 4 strings on the right go to what part of the ladder and how to shorten these with cords. Parents elderly now and they cannot recall and many vids do not show up close.

    • @fixthishouse3303
      @fixthishouse3303  Місяць тому

      To adjust the cords, I pull them one by one. You could possibly label them. I don’t shorten the cords, but once the blinds are leveled/adjusted, I tie them together with a knot. If there are small children around, I clip them up.

    If you make the slats horizonal - flat - so you can see out - it's easier to raise and lower them and less strain on the mechanism

      Did the mechanism click? If yes, it may be broken or you may need to physically pull the blinds down after you hear the click. Be gentle. See if it’s stuck.
