Repairing out-of-sync vertical blinds
If you have vertical blinds hanging on your windows and you happen to live in a place where it’s very windy and you like to keep your windows open all…chances are some of the tracks or vanes on your vertical blinds will be out of sync. It could be nightmare sometimes to get these out of sync pieces back into the original position. A lot of users of vertical blinds have this problem and here are some of their suggestions:
Tip 1: Repair the vertical blinds by manually turning them back. If you examine the blinds closely, you should be able to see how they works and can try to adjust them back.
Tip 2: Repair the vertical blinds by holding the carrier with your fingers and pulling the chain until they line-up and the self-clutching type work by simply pulling the chains (with some force) so that all the carriers rotate completely to the left and right. It's also possible the gear in the carrier is stripped and this is a job for your vertical dealer.
Tip 3: This tip is not to repair your vertical blinds but to prevent your vertical blinds from running out of sync. Always fully open the slats of your vertical blinds before drawing the blind to open or close. Never force them open. Look for improperly aligned slats and correct by hand. Never leave the blind closed when the window is open as this may result in the stem carriers on the blinds to break. High wind and folks trying to pass through the closed blind while the door is open will put undue stress on the stem carriers. If stem carriers are broken then a repair is necessary. There are vertical blinds repair kits available for the DIY and professionals who can make repairs.
If nothing works…the last resort will be to contact the manufacturer of the vertical blinds, some of them offer affordable service package for your vertical blinds.
