  • The built-in blind on our sliding glass door stopped working. Built in blinds are sealed within panes of glass, and when they fail, you need to re-engage the magnetic system that raises and lowers the blinds. Bob shows you how to fix your blinds, without having to break your door or call a repair man.

    I have lived with mine for over a year this way. I thought there was no way this would work for me. My mouth dropped open when this worked exactly as shown! THANK YOU!!!

      Ditto, ours had been broken (would only open/close, but they couldn't be raised) for 1-2 years as well. I feel dumb for not looking here until yesterday! 😳

      I'm with Stacey, I thought this was way too simple and of course, mine wouldn't be this easy to fix, but blim blam! Did what you said and all good! Can't believe I lived with them for a year like that. Thanks so much. Here's one for the power of the RUclipss and the wonderful people that do it just to help others out!

    OH MY GOD! I was thinking this was going to take hours and hours, taking apart the door. Or if that wasn't possible, move the door in question to the back. Either way, I was expecting a day-long project. THREE MINUTES. IT TOOK ONLY THREE MINUTES!!!! I thank you, and my cats (who can now see outside again) think you are the best Hoomin EVER!!!!!

    Thank you sir! I had this happen just a few minutes ago, my blind would partially go up and then slip. I raised the slider all the way up and gave it a little pressure and heard the click. and it's back to working! As other's have said your a life saver. First time a RUclips Video has helped me so quickly.

    Thank you so much. We had to buy a new window to our front door 2 years ago. The twine were broken. Since then we are so careful with opening and closing the blind. Today I came home after work, just wanted to open it, and now the handle just slipped down and did not work anymore. I found your video and I was able to fix it before my husband came home. :) I was so happy, as I felt really bad we have to buy a new one again???? So I just proudly told him I fixed it.

    Thank god! I never knew these existed until we bought this house 4 months ago and the other day it popped off somehow and I was so pissed! I had no clue how this worked until I caught one of the magnets with the slider. When I went to open them again, it just slipped back off and the blinds dropped. We were so mad. I had no idea there were 2 magnets you had to reconnect. Now it works like a charm. Thanks!

    Fantastic fix, I thought the blinds were controlled by strings and they had broken. Your video let me fix the problem in less than a minute. I did notice that our controller has some resistance which may have caused the initial problem, so I lubricated it with WD40 and figure that by reducing the resistance the cause of the problem may be eliminated. Thanks again!!!!
