Adjusting the Height Step 1: Grab the cord that controls the height of your blinds and drag it toward the center of your blinds. Step 2: Pull the cord down slightly to release the lock. Step 3: Keep hold of the cord, but release tension on it to allow the blinds to lower. Or pull the cord down for the blinds to rise.
The first thing to try is to take hold of the bottom of the blind by the bar, and gently pull it downwards until the fabric has un-rolled to its full extent. If this works, then just re-roll the blind back up again slowly and gently, while taking care to ensure that the fabric rolls evenly and not on a wonk once more.
Lower the blinds by tugging the cord to the right at a 45-degree angle. Grip the cord firmly and pull to the right, which “unlocks” the string from the locking mechanism in your blinds. While you're still holding the cord, release the slack on the string to bring your blinds down.
Using discreet pulleys, the blind goes up when the pull cord is pulled down and holds in position using a cleat (hook) at the desired resting point. You can stop and secure the blind at ANY point you like on the window.
Blinds that won't lift may have a worn-out spring mechanism or one that is locked in place. Remove the blinds from the window and place them on a flat surface. Look for the pin that controls the tension and carefully twist it clockwise to increase tension.
If you hit resistance, bring the fabric towards you slightly and give it a gentle tug. This should release any tighter springs and allow you to adjust the fabric once again. You can also gently move the fabric from side to side, rocking it until the springs begin to work again.
The most common reason for slats getting stuck and unable to be lowered or raised is that their cord is trapped in its lock mechanism. To release it, raise the cord until it's level with the headrail at the top of your blinds, and then gently tug on it. This should release the lock mechanism and set the cord-free.
How do you get cordless blinds to go up or down? Raising and lowering cordless blinds is the same process as Cellular Shades because the tension mechanism is in the bottom rail for both. You simply pull gently on the bottom rail, or lift it up.
Step 1: Pull your blind all the way down and hold it at a 45-degree angle away from your window. Step 2: Gently tug on your blind and then push it up. This should re-set the motor. Step 3: If the above doesn't work you can reach up under your blind and place your hand on the tube.
If your blinds don't go up, try lowering the blind down first as far as it will go. This will help to 'reactivate' the springs. Once they're down, you should be able to raise them back up without any problem.
Adjusting the Height
Step 1: Grab the cord that controls the height of your blinds and drag it toward the center of your blinds. Step 2: Pull the cord down slightly to release the lock. Step 3: Keep hold of the cord, but release tension on it to allow the blinds to lower. Or pull the cord down for the blinds to rise.
Examine the top of the window to find a set of dangling strings. Pull down on the strings to raise the blinds. Continue pulling until you reach the top of the window, or until the blinds are as high as you want them to be. Once you've reached that point, let go of the string.
A cordless blind mechanism is a spring-loaded system that allows you to raise and lower the blinds without the use of cords. Simply push up on the bottom rail to raise the blinds, and pull down on the bottom rail to lower them.
The small blind is placed by the player to the left of the dealer button and the big blind is then posted by the next player to the left. The one exception is when there are only two players (a "heads-up" game), when the player on the button (the dealer) is the small blind, and the other player is the big blind.
