@paulgilligan8932 7 ай бұрын

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.😀

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.

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?

@SkyManagement Жыл бұрын

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.

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!

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?

@apolloschaoschild Жыл бұрын

Do you know how i would fix one that is freely sliding? Like, if I spin them open or close, they work just fine but if I slide them across so there not blocking the window and I go to pull them back across the window, only one is attached to the slider so only one will slide back unless I grab them with my hand and manually pull it with my hands.
