I need to repair a front window (horizontal blinds) that don't close
or open properly. I saw a site that shows it briefly and they claim
it to be simple to fix. Is it really as simple as they say and any
special tools I should use or any gotchas I should know about before I
begin? Do I need to take it down from the window?


It is very easy, probably rates 1 out of 10 in difficulty. Where did
you get stuck?


No, I didn't begin yet. Got a lot of minor repairs to do so this is
one on my list to do. Blinds are about 4 or 5 foot long so I hope I
can detach them from window by myself. Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
Take it down and look at the top where the mechanism is.
When you look you'll know what to do. Little long nose plier and
tweezer are handy to work on it Our cats mess our blinds often
but I can put it back to working, not even 10 minutes job.
