How to Fix Between the Glass Blinds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2018
- The built-in blind on our sliding glass door stopped working. Built in blinds are sealed within panes of glass, and when they fail, you need to re-engage the magnetic system that raises and lowers the blinds. Bob shows you how to fix your blinds, without having to break your door or call a repair man.

I have lived with mine for over a year this way. I thought there was no way this would work for me. My mouth dropped open when this worked exactly as shown! THANK YOU!!!
Ditto, ours had been broken (would only open/close, but they couldn't be raised) for 1-2 years as well. I feel dumb for not looking here until yesterday! 😳
This is awesome! I thought I was going to have to spend a lot of $$ to fix mine...just did it and it worked!! Thank you SO much!
I'm with Stacey, I thought this was way too simple and of course, mine wouldn't be this easy to fix, but blim blam! Did what you said and all good! Can't believe I lived with them for a year like that. Thanks so much. Here's one for the power of the UA-cams and the wonderful people that do it just to help others out!
Same! Took 10 seconds lol, my bf was going to hire someone to come fix it… I said “NO, gimme a sec on UA-cam!” (I have done numerous things that would’ve cost me money just by watching videos LOL) thank you!!!
Gosh darn it, every once in a while the promise of goodness from the internet is realized. Thank you!!!!!
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to record this!!! It worked exactly as you said.
I NEVER EVER comment on UA-cam videos. But you are a lifesaver. Saved me from making a big new purchase to repair this. Thank you
Thanks so much, you’re a life saver. Thought I just broke my parents door.
Same i thought I broke the door. I hope this man is having a wonderful life filled with only happiness and joy
This mans video just helped me look like Mr. fix it 😂
Haha same! Freaked out! Thank youb
yes thank you! here for the same reason.
Same 😂
Thank you for the tip ! I just fixed mine. Earlier today I "broke" it and I was already worried about the repair... Then found your video and it was an instant fix!
Your video is a godsend. My seven year old screwed up that sliding handle yesterday and I thought I was going to have to take the door apart. Watched your video twice to be sure and applied your fix and it worked perfectly! You are awesome!
Just did this to the ones that have been "broken" at my parent's house for ages. You are awesome for putting this video up, thank you!
Life saver!! Just moved into a new house and thought I had completely broken the door. This just made my day. Thanks so much for posting this!!!
You're a lifesaver! I was so mad when the blind stopped working, because I thought I'd be stuck with a broken door. Thank you so much for posting this video!!!
You’re a life saver! Broke mine this morning and assumed it was cable-driven and done for, hadn’t even considered magnets! Got it working again in less than a minute thanks to your video
Can't thank you enough for recording this video in excellent way. You fixed my blind literally with this 2 min video, while I was almost about to spend $6,000 to replace my blind.
Thank you. After messing with it, and I was about to call the company, You saved me! The hit at the top was the thing!!
Fixed my blinds in record time thanks to you! I watched this video once and they were working perfectly first try. You saved me a lot of frustration! 😁
Just like everyone else here, I was already looking into repair guys etc. Just moved the slider up one magnet and boom it works like a charm! Thank you so much!
Can't believe I have just lived with them being broken for like 2 years and it took about 20 seconds to fix! Thank you sir!
I'm a brand-new first-time home owner and my daughter did something to break these exactly like this. I had no clue what to do.
Found this video and had the problem resolved 1 minute later.
Subscribed immediately and looking for more tips as I learn how to maintain my home! Thanks!
Thank you for this - I bought my house 6 months ago and this morning the blind on one side stopped working, I was so mad - ready to call the door people and get them taken out - but then I saw your video and Voila! works like a charm. Thank you for taking the time to post this video!
I was just searching the warranty for my door and figured I would see if there was a solution on youtube and found this! This totally worked!!! THANK YOU!!!
Like a lot of other people, mine didn't work for over a year. I never imagined it would be so easy. I'm not sure how you figured this out but I'm glad you did. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Thank you for taking the time to help other owners out! Excellent job!
Gosh darn it, every once in a while the promise of positive Internet is realized... thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much, I thought I needed a new door replacement. This repair was very straight forward and easy. Great video
We have one of those and the same thing happened to us... I saw my life flash before my eyes and then I came across your posting. You are a hero to our family. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
This video is AWESOME!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought it was broken and I was getting my story all ready to explain to my wife... no need now! The blinds are fixed!
Last night I Came here to learn. After 5 attempts, no change. This morning I decided to try again.Success! Thank you so much! Saved me a ton of money.
Just fixed my RSL indoor blinds using this video!!! THANK YOU! 3 blind companies wouldn’t even come out and look at it but this video just fixed the issue!!
Genius! I have been holding off on buying one of these doors upon multiple complaints of blind problems. I wonder why no one has mentioned this on reviews? Not even the manufacturers. Blows my mind
Thank you very much for your expert advice! I broke my blinds control thing and was in a state of panic! I thought I would have to buy an entire new door with the in-window blinds. Thanks to your perfect direction, this old woman fixed it herself! Thank you so much! P. S. I’m never touching that up/down lever ever again! 😊
We have a brand new Anderson patio door and this happened 3 weeks into ownership. Your video was just the fix I needed! Thank you!
We are about to list our house for sale. When the realtor was here we were looking at the blind operation when it broke. I had visions of having to replace the whole panel on that side of the door. I went to the Pelli website and they directed me here. I fixed it!!! Wonderful!!!
THANK YOU!! What a relief to discover this easy fix to something I was told was unfixable. I couldn't believe it was going to be so easy. You made my day, you really did. Instant fix! You're the best!
Oh my god... it's been months sitting half open. I've tried fixing it thinking it only needed one magnet to grab. You pointed out there are several, and that fixed it for me. What a great fix video, THANK YOU for posting this fix. I really appreciate it, like all the other commenters !!
Fantastic fix, I thought the blinds were controlled by strings and they had broken. Your video let me fix the problem in less than a minute. I did notice that our controller has some resistance which may have caused the initial problem, so I lubricated it with WD40 and figure that by reducing the resistance the cause of the problem may be eliminated. Thanks again!!!!
One the most concise and helpful videos I have seen. Thanks for saving me time and headaches.
OH MY GOD! I was thinking this was going to take hours and hours, taking apart the door. Or if that wasn't possible, move the door in question to the back. Either way, I was expecting a day-long project. THREE MINUTES. IT TOOK ONLY THREE MINUTES!!!! I thank you, and my cats (who can now see outside again) think you are the best Hoomin EVER!!!!!
Thank you sir! I had this happen just a few minutes ago, my blind would partially go up and then slip. I raised the slider all the way up and gave it a little pressure and heard the click. and it's back to working! As other's have said your a life saver. First time a UA-cam Video has helped me so quickly.
Just fixed mine after months of breaking. Mine would lower halway then only lower more on one side. It took a little more working it up and down but it finally engaged and lowered all the way down on both sides and is working now!! Thank you so much!!
THANK YOU! I was worried our blinds were broken forever, but this was so easy to fix once you showed how!
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the simple solution to a problem I had first thing this morning. I was not too happy and then I found your video and it worked! Thank you again for kindly sharing your knowledge
One of the most useful pieces of information I have found on the internet in a long time. Worked like a charm! Thanks!
OMG - YOU ARE MY HERO!! I followed your instructions and am happy to report that my in-the-door blind now works again!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so very much. I am glad I searched through the web and found your excellent video before I started disassembling my door! It worked as stated! Just awesome!. Many, many thanks!
Awesome video! We almost called the door company but your video saved the day!!
Thank you, thank you ,thank you! I was so mad when it stopped working and thought I’d have to buy a new door. Your video saved me money... and my sanity 😊
Thank you! I just installed the door and the blinds worked about three times before it did this. I thought I was going to have to deal with Home Depot to get a repair. You saved me so much time!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Ours did the same thing 6 mo after buying the door and we have just accepted our fate the last 5 years with it not working. Today it works again.
I want to say thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! We just bought a home a week ago and the back doors are not even a year old yet and the blinds in one of the doors broke this morning. I’m going to try this. I pray it works.
Excellent video - this worked on my door from Lowe’s. Thanks so much!
This literally has been an issue for the past few months. I literally decided to load up your video and boom. Easily fixed, you are a saint sir thank you!
You are awesome! I was, like you, extremely bummed when it quit working after 3 years. This method worked - first time - and like a charm. Thank you!
Thanks for the helpful information. I am at a friends house taking care of her cat while she is stuck in Texas due to this Covid 19 stuff. I went to raise the blind and got it off track. I obviously knew the slide was magnetic. But couldn’t figure out how to fix it. Gotta love UA-cam! This was the first video I watched and it was all I needed to watch. Worked like a charm on the first try!
I had a contractor doing some major home renovations and was going to see if he could fix this as well. I assumed the frame had to be popped open or something. I'm glad I found this video!
Dude, thank you so much! I would upvote this a thousand times more if I could!
Took a chance and check on-line to see how to possibly fix our broken blinds sealed in the door frame. When I watched the video, I thought...sure, this is going to work....and to my surprise OMG it worked! Thank You Thank you Thank You. I am now a believer!
Short and to the point! The way home fix videos should be! THANK YOU. Fixed my blinds in 15 seconds.
Thanks for this! I just fixed my door with it. The key was pushing hard at the top to reset the mechanism. Works great now.
Thank you! I was able to fix the blinds in a matter of 10 seconds! I am so appreciative of your video. YOU ROCK!
Thank you thank you thank you, I've been living with this for about 6 months thinking it was just broken, I just happened to see if there was anything on UA-cam about it and found you, I happy to say my blinds work perfectly again😊
Ditto what many others have said. Saved me a ton of work and money. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
Thanks! Mine just did this yesterday. Following this I got em sorted back out and they're working fine!
Just broke it a few minutes ago, checked out your video, fixed! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for making this video. I almost took my door apart, but came across your video and it worked perfectly. A Big thank you to you!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this!
You sir, are a marriage saver! I thought that I was going to have a huge repair bill or door replacement. Thank you!!!
IT WORKED!! Gotta love youtube University. I spent days trying to figure out how to fix this and a quick UA-cam search and this was the first video that popped up and bam got it fixed. Thank you sir for being a DIY super hero
For some reason it took me a few passes but it finally worked. I hope you get a million views. You really have helped so many people with this video. I was so upset when it broke.
Thanks for posting. Bought a house with a sliding door that had a messed up blind in it. This method corrected it for me.
Thank you sooooo....much! Hubby fixed and told me to send our many thanks! You are THE MAN!
My husband had a major stroke recently and is in the hospital. I am not mechanically inclined at all! This happened to me one night so thank you for this video. I thought it was broken and afraid I would make things worse.
Your instructions were spot on and I repaired it myself. Looks like step one in earning my pink tool belt. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Worked just like you instructed! Appreciate saving the money for a repairman.
Thank you for recording this video, it was really informative.
Awesome! Thanks so much for your video. I was able to re-attach the magnets just like you showed in you video. We are very happy now!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Worked on my back door perfectly!! This fix made me happy before coffee!!
Appreciate you sir, just had two new doors installed today and thought we were in trouble the first day. Great video!
Thought I was gonna have to take it apart! Thank you for showing how to easily fix this problem!
OMG!! This worked!! My enclosed blind is in the window of a pool bath door. Quick and easy to understand video that saved me from calling a repair person! Thank you! Thank you!
Worked perfectly the first time, just as you outlined in your steps. Thank you!
Wow. For 3 years we lived with the problem. Last night I thought I broke the other door. Now both sides are working! Thank you for the simple solution.
You are a savior. Thanks for the video. Finally fixed my broken blind.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! This was an easy fix with your great instruction on how to do so!!!! It had just stopped working on me today, so I quickly googled and found your video. You are THE BEST!!!
I have a Reliabilt door and this video just fixed my issue. Thank you!!
THANK YOU Very much. I caught the mechanism the first time and I thought that was it but I needed to Push Up one more time to get the second magnet engaged then it worked. Your video saved me. Wishing you the Best in 2020
Thanks so much for this. I just bought my door a year ago and it did this and I thought there was no way to fix it. I did what you said and it’s fixed! 🎉
Our new Reliabilt slider was just installed yesterday (7/29/19), & the raising & lowering operation on one of the doors failed today. THANK YOU so much for this video! I was about to raise hell with Lowes & Reliabilt over this, but your video saved the day. Much apprreciated...
Awesome customer service. Sent us this link and I had it fixed in a couple minutes.
OMGosh!! Worked perfectly the first try! You are a handyman genius! Thank you! 👍
Amazing! It worked just as you showed! Totally made my day! Thank you so much!!
AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH !! Worked like a charm !!! I was concerned since we are currently renting that they’d blame us or have a handyman come out . But I was able to fix it in 2 seconds thanks to this video
Omg thank you! I watched other videos and gave up bc I couldn't get it to work, but a year later I decided to try again, and your video made this easy to understand. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for your video! I was so upset when mine broke and your video was quick and awesome! We fixed ours in moments after watching your video!
Thank you so much!!! This just fixed my door and I feel very happy!!
Thank you so much! I just moved into a new house and thought I broke it almost immediately. Fixed it right away. Thank you!
Fantastic video. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video
Worked just as you said. 30 second fix. Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much!! Our front door at our rented house had this problem and we were afraid they would keep our deposit when we moved. You saved us $800 !!
You seriously are my favorite person today thank you
Thank god! I never knew these existed until we bought this house 4 months ago and the other day it popped off somehow and I was so pissed! I had no clue how this worked until I caught one of the magnets with the slider. When I went to open them again, it just slipped back off and the blinds dropped. We were so mad. I had no idea there were 2 magnets you had to reconnect. Now it works like a charm. Thanks!
The terrible thing is that none of us thought about this potential when we bought the doors...I now feel much better about mine.
Wow!! Never knew this! Thank you for helping me fix my door so quickly! Been living with it for some time thinking it was totally broken
Your video was amazingly helpful. I was able to fix mine doing exactly what you showed us on the video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this quick fix. mine stopped working today and I thought I might need e new door. Your video was the first one I watched and bingo now it's fixed.
