Mini Blinds Won't Stay Up
I have approximately 1" Graber plastic mini blinds that are horizontal.
For some reason, if I try to pull the blinds 1/2 way up, they won't stay. Does anyone know what replacement part I would need to get the blinds to stay up and where I would buy the part? I have other blinds that work fine! Thanks! KL |

If it is like most blinds, there is a little grab wheel at the top of the cord. It may be out of place, sticking or need to be cleaned. |

Edwin has this pegged correctly. A little brass or plastic gear inside a little box right where the cord enters the head rail of the blind. The only thing that you might do other than un-sticking it is to add a little spray silicone to the area. DO NOT use anything other than silicone. Other lubricates will discolor and destroy the plastic parts. Colbyt |
