    I've literally been waiting on my husband to take these blinds down so we can finally install our curtains! Today I've had enough and decided to do it myself! This tutorial has been my life saver because I thought this task was going to be tough. Thank you!

    Instant sub. This video is a paragon of how all DIY videos should be. Presents the task, explains how to address it, demonstrates addressing it, done. Nice job Bill.

    This video is fantastic. Great explanation & video shows you those sneaky little bits of metal that you need to push to release your blind . I can’t thank you enough!

    I was suffering this morning trying to take my vertical blind out. My tab was not in the back, but flush to the wall. I took a plier tip (no screwdriver handy) pressed the tab and it fell down. For what it is worth, I had one tab in the middle to remove as well, same idea.
    Thank you! You made a very professional and helpful video. I gave you a thumbs up. I am happy for UA-cam on the how to front.

    Bill, that was great. I'm 73 and have new hurricane windows coming and have to remove these vertical blinds in my condo. I ALWAYS have hated these blinds. Now I can get them down and decide on venetian blinds or drapes. Thank you.

    I was having the toughest time figuring out some old blinds for a house in getting ready to sell. The covering was actually screwed under where the blinds were. This video broke through my frustrations and helped me get the job done in minutes. Thank you!

    For reference, to put the rail back on, click the front in into the rib, then push the back on.

    Thank you for your demo! My dad and I have fixed a blind that was broken from 15years ago😂 We fixed it today but struggled with taking the blinds down (the easy part) . You’ve been very useful and now we have a working blind !

    Thanks, one of the screws on my vertical blinds had come loose the end where you pull on the cords... of course that wasn't working... I had to remove all the slats first, then your video helped me unclip the track at the top so I could drill a new pilot hole for the concrete anchor. They're now rock solid, thanks for this video.

  • @inneralchemy369
    @inneralchemy369 5 років тому +8

    important - there is also a THIRD clip in the middle. important - when pushing the clip upward, TILT the mechanism downward to release. Otherwise the video was helpful.
