Question

How do I shorten the length or drop of the blind which is attached to the top of the pole with sticky adhesive?

Community Answer

Pull the sticky adhesive away from the blind fabric as carefully as possible and place on the edge of your new length. Cut away any length you don't want at the top of the adhesive. A couple of staples give it extra strength.

Question

How can I untangle the blind leads?

Community Answer

There should be a plastic piece that keeps the beads connected along the chain. Pry it open gently with a knife, try not to break it. Once it's open you can take the beads out, untangle, and refit.

Question

Can I drill the bracket mounting holes at an angle?

Community Answer

No. The screw head will not be flush with the bracket, and the screw should support the weight of the blinds perpendicularly.

Question

How do I stop a roller blind on the door from flapping when opening doors?

Community Answer

The blinds we have on our french doors have a magnetic bottom that catches on magnetic stays installed into the bottom of the door. This keeps the blind bottoms from swaying when opening and closing the doors.

Question

How do I rewind a blind that's dropped down?

Community Answer

Take the end of it (the end that has a woodstick inside) and pull that up and over the roll and down the back (it may be a bit tight against the wall). That should work!
