As I watched this video it was extremely helpful and informative, but missed one thing that both happened to me and I checked, and found my problem. The vanes were turned (inward) so I reversed them and everything worked perfectly! Thank you again.

Wow, Thank you so much; I have lost the blinds instruction manual and I am having minor troubles with one of the clips not closing properly. I'm guess I need to replace it. this helped me figure that out. I had just watched a video about replacing that one clip, then saw your video about the rest of the blinds. again, thank you.

I didn’t know I had to open the blinds before drawing them back. Now they are stuck halfway, and won’t move in either direction.What can I do to avoid breaking them? Update: I used a long screwdriver as leverage to separate and move the hooks so the panels are back where they belong. So I’m good, but my runners must need lubricating or something. Because when the slats are open, and I try to dray them back, they don’t move very well. I don’t want to pull the cord to force them. What should I do? Thank you.

Is it possible to repair the string that draws open the slats from left to right? The slats still turn but they no longer open from left to right because the string seems to have come off its track. The string will pull the tracks to the left but to push them back to the right you have to do this by hand.

I made a mistake of spraying down the rail with WD-40 and now I’m having an issue sliding it back-and-forth. What is the correct way to lubricate the rail? I’ve used multiple lubricants running it down the rail and it leaks all down the blinds and on the floor. I’m using blaster silicone lubricant.

What can be done if the blinds only retract on one side? They rotate fine. But when I pull the cord to move the slats to the sides (they open from the middle and collect on each side), only one side retracts. The other I have to move by hand. Is there a way to “restring” this?

@veronicadujela6051 Жыл бұрын

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?

if you have torn the hole on the end of the slat that clips in to hang, flip the blind over and make a new slot/hole with a paper punch, punch a single hole in the center then nibble left and right to make it like a slot and rehang it.

I see that PJ never answered my query? I also see that PJ does not bother to answer many of the viewers who need assistance. So no subscription. If you got a similar problem of a stuck pull cord (that's to open and close entire vertical) i was advised to take down parts as shown and see about any broken parts; if all parts are okay, clean and lubricate rail or track and see if that works out. However, before you put it up test the track for motion, if not, order a new part. Whoever invented these verticals was a real, complicated, genius.
