Adjust Your Blinds’ Pull Cords — Fix, Direct, Or Replace Entirely!

Now, talking about the Blinds Dubai guide, it’s necessary to understand what exactly “adjusting” means. It’s not simply locking and unlocking the cord in its place. It includes fixing the slats, changing the direction of the blinds, and changing the cord entirely.

Follow our DIY step-by-step process now!

Fixing The Uneven Slats

Let’s start with the easiest. You’d have noticed that sometimes one of the blinds’ sides is tightly closed, while the other hangs freely. This is because one of the two sides’ cords is either too tight or a little loose. To fix this, unlock the cord so that the blinds fall freely. Now observe which cord is tight. Open the head bar and check the cord. The cord usually runs through the holes in the blinds up to the headbar. Release the cord from the bar, and the blinds should now be even.

Changing The Direction 

It’s rather simpler than fixing the unevenness of the slats. Identify the tilt mechanism of the blinds. Normally, two tilting mechanisms are widely used. One is the standard pull cord, and the other is the tilt rod/wand. Pull the cord in one direction until you feel the resistance. Now, do it in the opposite direction until resistance. On both sides, the point where you feel resistance is the tilting limit. If one of the blind is not aligning with the others, take that out. Put it back in so that the holes align with the cord and move harmoniously.

Replacing The Cord

If the cord is beyond repair or broken, replacing it is the best option. Now, if you’re thinking of calling a handyman for this menial task, don’t. Pick up your tools, and we will guide you through this. First, take off the blinds and lay them on a flat surface. Remove the damaged cord with the help of scissors. Stabilize the slats and pull out the cord. Now, thread the new cord through the headrail from the holes in the slats and secure with a knot. Lastly, adjust the cord stopper and the length.

To Summarize

After following this guide to adjust your blinds’ cord efficiently, you’d never get ‘stuck” nor will your blinds. You need to regularly check the cord, its operational glide, and the damage. We have provided you with very detailed insights to replace the cord by yourself using minimal tools and effort.
