There are vertical blinds in new house

Susu on Mar 23, 2014@Muriel Sometimes it is not a knot but the strings can become twisted together which will cause it to behave that way. A button can help, run each string through one of the holes.Helpful Reply

Muriel on Mar 23, 2014I don't understand the concept of a 'button'. Putting pictures on here to see if my question might be clearer. Thank you Susu.Helpful Reply

Peggy Rickard on Mar 25, 2014@Muriel : Be sure that the blind is opened up and then try to get it to work. Ours will go up when they are in any mode (open/slanted, etc.) but will not return to the starting position until they are open.Helpful Reply

Muriel on Mar 25, 2014This goes from left to right, not up and down -Peggy. I can't get them to open up all the way.. They lack about 18 inches from being open. Thanks from trying.Helpful Reply

Margie Bloyd on Jul 20, 2014It's probably one on the end, i'm guessing, cause mine did the same thing. Take the blind off, open blinds all the way, re-insert blind going the same way as the others then try to open and close. hope this works for you as this is what i had to do to mine.Helpful Reply

Muriel on Jul 20, 2014Worth a try. We won't be 'home' until October, but will check it then. Thanks Margie Bloyd :)Helpful Reply

Barbara on Mar 08, 2015I had this problem when I opened the windows and a strong breeze blew the blinds outward and one of the blinds got out of place...look along the top edge as you slowly try to open the blinds to make sure one is not in the wrong position, if so it will hold back the blind next to it so that it can't pivot to open. To fix it pull out both blinds towards you and slightly twist to get them back in order.Helpful Reply
