The Process Of Window Blinds Repair

If the two-inch window blind will not tilt open and closed, there is usually a simple way to fix this problem. The first thing to do is to very carefully remove the valence from the horizontal blinds, unhinge the bracket and the box end and remove the blind from its window attachment.

Now, look down into the top of the blind itself, and look at the cords that run lengthwise through the head rail. Check to be sure that none of them are tangled or caught in between the hardware and the head rail. If they are tangled or caught there, they can be untangled, and then you can replace everything, and the blind should work just as before they were tangled, with this technique.

Sometimes the slats will hang crooked on the blind. This can be fixed by removing the blind from the window and take a look on the inside of the rail. You can verify whether or not the string ladders are attached to the metal or plastic drums. The ladder may just need to be reattached to the drum, or if a ladder is broken, have it replaced. The drum might be broken and need to be replaced. Also, verify that the drum is seated in a proper manner in the cradle in which the drum is supported.

There are stores who will stock all the parts that are necessary. They will have parts for different makes and brands, and the parts will be numbered and categorized in order to know which parts are available and needed for different blinds. They also have booklets that will give you a step-by-step DIY guide to fix or install new blinds.

Of course there are many retail stores that also offer window blinds repair for those of us who are mechanically challenged. For a small fee, you can take your blinds to their shop, and after a reasonable time, you can come back and pick up your repaired blind. That is an excellent option, if you don’t have the time or the temperament to fix them yourself.

Of course, the final option is to take down the blinds and throw them away and get new ones, if the repair process is just too much bother. This is a simple solution, to be sure, but it could be expensive too. It may not be necessary to replace your entire set of blinds, just because there is a minor problem. It makes sense to do a little trouble shooting first, before you commit the final act of disposing of your blinds.
