Helping victims of this cordless crime one at a time. Just moved into a new home tonight and my husband pointed this strange phenomenon out. Thanks to your video I figured it out.
I'm an old dude who never saw cordless blinds, and thought I had a factory-reject... but I decided to "ask the Web" and your video popped up. You're a Godsend, thanks a ton! Tell whoever you work for to give you a nice raise or HUGE bonus, and tell them *I* said so! :)
I don't know who you are but you just saved me from having a panic and anxiety attack and pulled me out of the existential crisis I was about to dive into this midnight thinking how much of a loser I am who couldn't even open up a blind and couldn't get a decent sleep. Thank you. Not all heroes wear capes.
😂Not a lame video at all. We’re in an Airbnb with these blinds and were afraid of breaking them. So your video helped out way more than you know. Thank you
Me too right now Literally 😂😂my first day in our own air bnb and I accidentally pushed the blinds up and not knowing they'd stick it's been awhile since Ive been in an encounter with these blinds so I realized trying to force them down was scary and definitely not helpful or the way to go seconds later I found this video and seconds later got the blinds down W video.
Thanks for posting this most helpful video. I had my new blinds stuck at half mast for hours! With your help my new neighbors can't see EVERYTHING we own.
OMG THANK YOU...you really can find everything on RUclips...no joke my blinds have been up for months (no a big deal,because the cats go in and out the Window) i just got black out curtains, but the cat stopped hanging out in the window and I had no idea on how to let the blinds back down
Painting my brothers lake house and I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to open the blinds. Thank you for this video! Glad to know I’m not alone! 🤦🏼♀️
Oh, my God, thank you so much 🙏🏻! And thank you to the other comments regarding the strength of the pull. I was also worried that i would break them, but I just trusted all of you and carefully pulled with some force and it worked 😭. I'm so happy because my blonds have been up like a week and my neighbors can see inside my kitchenm
Thank you!!! My new apartment has these new-fangled blinds, and I could not figure out how to raise them. Decided to slip my hand beneath the bottom and raise them. To my delight, they rose and stayed up. The problem came in once I was ready to lower them. I could not figure that out for the life of me! This video was really helpful for me.
I just moved into this house. The blinds were installed about a month ago. He showed us how to raise them and lower them, but I accidentally raised them a few minutes ago when dusting the bottom of the window. I tried pulling them down, but they ate not coming down. Now I'm freaking out because my bedroom window faces east. I haven't had time to put my curtains up yet, so the sun will be blinding. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Help!!!😢
@catjax888 Have you tried adjusting the angle of the slats before you pull the blinds down? If they are closed, twist the rod to make them horizontal (so you can see out). Then try lowering the blinds. Sometimes that trick works. Good luck!
Thank You so Much for the instruction. growing up we had either curtains or vertical blinds. In an AirBnB with these types of blinds, I raised to open the window but couldn't figure out how to lower. your video saved me from having to make a really embarrassing call to property management.
Hi my gosh!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m house sitting and raise the blinds in the bedroom and I couldn’t figure out how to lower them, I was freaking out because the family is coming home tomorrow!! I appreciate this video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your video is perfect! It is not lame at all. I couldn’t figure out how to get my blinds down, only up. Great and useful video. Thanks again!
Not a lame video! I needed this so much! I accidentally raised my blinds while moving into my apartment while looking for the drawstring and had unobstructed window next to my bed for weeks! Thank you so much!
If you still can’t pull them down after watching this video brace one hand on top in the center where the blinds are mounted and pull down with some force. I was afraid to pull hard because I didn’t want to yank them out of the wall but bracing your hand properly allows you to pull hard and hopefully they will come down. Thanks for the video. 👍🏽
Thank you indeed! Moving into a new place soon & I am very concerned that I will yank the whole piece down if I pulled with too much force. Thanks for the bracing tip! And to the original uploader, thanks as well! If not for both of your help I was thinking I was going to have to install some new blinds that come with the pull cords. Thanks again to you both 👍 👍
haha thank you so much, i was scared initially at first when i realized that it wasn't going down but after seeing this comment and yanking it harder, it went down. you're a life saver :D
Jeepers!! Thank you.. I was feeling pretty useless till I watched this video. I installed the blinds about 10 years ago and never really moved them.. until I bumped them up when I was opening the window. It was a real "oh come on" moment. Thank you thank you thank you.
I’m on the first story and I have these window blinds, and idk how to pull them down, so I saw ur vid and you saved my life becuz the blinds were up and i was scared people could watch me through the space. Tysm!!!
10/23 Could not figure out how to pull down my cordless blinds, thank goodness for this video. put both hands in the middle and it will fill hard but use both hands and pull down.
Thank you very much, I just moved into a house and was totally confused because all the blinds were rolled up and I had no clue how to lower them down. I sad for hours looking at it, asking myself “is there a button I am supposed to press or what?”, and as usual, I came to RUclips looking. After watching your video, I was able to lower them down 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you SO much for this tutorial! I'm babysitting my toddler grandniece at her mom's house and I could NOT figure out how to lower these cordless blinds in the nursery for her nap time! Like others here, I was afraid of breaking them! 😄 Got them down in 2 seconds after watching your tutorial - this after puzzling over them for the last half hour! 🤣🤣🤣
The exact same thing happened to me. I could NOT figure it out and thought I was going to have to call the host, but your video did the trick. Thank you
Wow. Thanks a lot. Your video motivated me to try again. I had to rotate the bottom piece while pulling it down and I finally did it after 2 months of being unable to lower them.
I'm cleaning the window and accidentally put the blinds up and been trying for a long time on how to put them down. I searched on youtube just incase and voila! I found your video, thank goodness! 😂
Thank you so much for this video! I thought the stick was missing. I'm not use to quality but I will be, I called them Plantation Blinds & it popped right up. You saved me my deposit on this apt. 😊
Omg I didn’t know how to at first this video helped so much! I thought I was gonna break it so I didn’t go to hard until maybe 5 minutes later I used force then BOOM it finally went down. Very useful thank you very much
Thanks so much for the video, I thought I would have to text my husband at work to ask him how to put the blind down, am glad I don’t have to now, thank you so much ❤
Bless you for this! My blinds are finally back down! Edit: I had to pull down while the bottom bar is in the rotated position but your video sparked the idea!
I'm a pretty smart lady. I'd just never seen blinds without a drawstring before! I thought the blinds in my apartment were designed to stay down for some safety reason. Nope! Just needed to ask you! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!! I couldn’t figure this out for the life of me!! 🤦🏼♀️ not sure why that is not in the information that comes with the blinds but who knows. Anyway thanks again 👍🏼
Thanks. I tried rotating the stick incrementally and pull, then rotate incrementally in reverse direction when first rotational direction didn’t work. I think cleaning ladies moved up from resting position such that after hanging for a long time the spring needs to be reset or something.
Thanks for making this video! I’m in an apt & just got a new set of these cordless blinds. They go up easy but way too hard to pull down. Not good for my bad back either. Maintenance guy is clueless. Any ideas to make it pull down easier?
Sometimes lifting them up slightly before pulling them down helps. I don’t know if they loosen with use, but you could have someone raise and lower them a few times and see if they loosen up. (Maybe someone else will comment with a helpful idea.) my other thought: don’t raise them up, just turn the bar so the slats are open… though it’s not the same as opening the whole set of blinds.
Thanks so much. Visiting US at an Air BnB... same thing. Amazing view, but after dark. Yikes. The small ones I got to pull down, but the picture window sized ones were scary. But I just put some 'welly' into it and down they came. Cheers!
You just saved me from a fight with my roommate because he lifted them up and I couldn't figure out how to lower them, I haven't tried it yet but I feel confident that it will work. Otherwise we will be having a fight.
OMGsh...I've been in my house 1 year this month the whole time thinking okay I guess some shades are made to not go up and down anymore! 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you!
I FINALLY got them started! So u have to push them up a tad like you’re going to lift them and then pull them down. I can’t get them all the way down tonight bcuz my headboard is in the way..but, I got them down a lot more than they were!
haha thank you mam, I am new to america and this confused me alot in my new apartment. You save me from shame by calling my apartment maintenance guy and complaining that my blinds are broken.
Lol, you’re welcome. And welcome to America :) You’re not the only one trying to figure out how to raise and lower cordless blinds. Someone else requested the video!

Thank you. Not all heroes wear capes.
You’re welcome =)
😂😭😭😭
A repair person came and installed it for us and the solution is obvious at first but I was scared I was doing something wrong. Thank you
I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure this out because it takes more force than I expected it to. I was scared I was going to break it.
Glad you got it to work!
Same thing happened with me. After seeing you comment I got courage to apply slightly more force 😃.
Good work!
Takes much more force that i expected, youre the MVP for this comment 😁
Thanks for the comment, I was afraid O was going to break it
😂Not a lame video at all. We’re in an Airbnb with these blinds and were afraid of breaking them. So your video helped out way more than you know. Thank you
Lol, we put them in our Airbnb, too! It’s safer than having cords hanging.
Same here!
Me too right now Literally 😂😂my first day in our own air bnb and I accidentally pushed the blinds up and not knowing they'd stick it's been awhile since Ive been in an encounter with these blinds so I realized trying to force them down was scary and definitely not helpful or the way to go seconds later I found this video and seconds later got the blinds down W video.
Same here! In the Airbnb bedroom right now!
I’ve been trying to figure this out for days and just about gave up then stumbled upon this video. Thank you!

Lord I was lost on these blinds too
Just moved into a brand new apartment and had never seen this type of cordless beast before. Thanks for the video.
lol, a cordless beast!
same lol
This video helped me to finally raise my blinds after living w them for 2 years! Lol thanks SO much, not lame at all
I can't believe it was as simple as just pulling it down. I've had my blinds slightly showing for 2 years now. Thank you so much for this video.
Oh, my God, thank you so much 🙏🏻! And thank you to the other comments regarding the strength of the pull.

You are the best! Thank you!!!
Thank you! I've been fighting with my blinds and would never have figured this out🤦🏾♀️
Thanks for this video. I didn't know how to do it. You are the only one who teaches this.
Jeepers!! Thank you.. I was feeling pretty useless till I watched this video. I installed the blinds about 10 years ago and never really moved them.. until I bumped them up when I was opening the window. It was a real "oh come on" moment. Thank you thank you thank you.
I’m on the first story and I have these window blinds, and idk how to pull them down, so I saw ur vid and you saved my life becuz the blinds were up and i was scared people could watch me through the space. Tysm!!!

Awesome! Glad to help. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The exact same thing happened to me. I could NOT figure it out and thought I was going to have to call the host, but your video did the trick. Thank you
Thank you for this video, I let mine up and couldn’t figure out how to get them down, until I came across your very helpful video❤
You saved me after months of not knowing how to bring down the shades 🙏🏼
Thank You!!! Very helpful. And really glad to see I am not the only one baffled by this.
Omg you just saved my life! I've been catching pure hell trying to get these blinds down. Awesome vid... Thank you!
Thank you! Same! Did not know how to lower and didn't want to break. Was flabbergasted for a while!
😊 thank you 🙏 your video was very helpful, I always had blind with the strings and never used Venetian blinds
Thank you so much. We lost the installation manual and couldnt find simple instructions. This is perfect.
So grateful for this video. I consider myself savvy. I was stuck... and so were the blinds. Thanks!
Wow. Thanks a lot. Your video motivated me to try again. I had to rotate the bottom piece while pulling it down and I finally did it after 2 months of being unable to lower them.
Thank you Diana. Nothing worked for me until I tried your rotating technique.
This was very very very very helpful. I raised the blinds w/no problem but couldn't figure out how to lower them.
That is exactly what happened to me!
Omg this helped me so much I spent 3 days crying because I couldn’t open them and now I can ❤
I'm cleaning the window and accidentally put the blinds up and been trying for a long time on how to put them down. I searched on youtube just incase and voila! I found your video, thank goodness! 😂
Thank you. I was getting frustrated because I couldn't lower them. I figured it had to be a simple process but I couldn't figure it out!
Thank you so much. just moved into a new house and could not figure out how to lower them. awesome video
Thank you it was so easy took me 1 minute lol . Your a life saver
I really appreciate your video. I thought I was going to break mines but I wasn't using enough force. Thanks so much again!
Thank you so much for this video! I thought the stick was missing. I'm not use to quality but I will be, I called them Plantation Blinds & it popped right up. You saved me my deposit on this apt. 😊
Such a life saver. Quick easy and informative video.
Omg I didn’t know how to at first this video helped so much! I thought I was gonna break it so I didn’t go to hard until maybe 5 minutes later I used force then BOOM it finally went down. Very useful thank you very much
These blinds must get stuck that it takes so much force. Ours aren’t that hard to pull down. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks so much for the video, I thought I would have to text my husband at work to ask him how to put the blind down, am glad I don’t have to now, thank you so much ❤
Ain’t no stupid video I always watch this vid when I get confused thank you 🙏🏽 ❤
Bless you for this! My blinds are finally back down!
Edit: I had to pull down while the bottom bar is in the rotated position but your video sparked the idea!
Omg this is sooo helpful. Thank you! Been figuring out how to raise our blinds for weeks!!
Happy to help!
I'm a pretty smart lady. I'd just never seen blinds without a drawstring before! I thought the blinds in my apartment were designed to stay down for some safety reason. Nope! Just needed to ask you! Thank you for making this video!
I think landlords like cordless blinds because they are safer. I’m glad you figured it out!
thank you for explaining how to put them back up. Solution was so easy but I would of never thought of it. 😆
Thank so much this is my first time having these type of blinds and this was a life saver😁👍
I’m so grateful for this video! Thank you 🙏
Thank you!!! I’m at my moms assisted living and I was going crazzzzy to fix it
Thank you!!!!
Happy to help!
been watching couple of videos how to fix this..... and this is 101% helping..thank you so much 👍👍
Thank you soooo much 😊. I just moved into a new apartment that has these so I did a google search and your video came up. Appreciate your video
Thank You, I was trying to figure out how to lift it up and down on my new place
I appreciate your video
Thank you so much for this info and to the person that asked!! I’m staying in a hotel and wasn’t sure how to lower the blinds. ❤
Thank you. Moved into a house and was so confused by these blinds.
Am still trying to close my blinds, don't want to break it....
Finally, applied more force & it happened. Thank you
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!! I couldn’t figure this out for the life of me!! 🤦🏼♀️ not sure why that is not in the information that comes with the blinds but who knows. Anyway thanks again 👍🏼
Thanks! I was annoyed at my husband and I didn’t want to ask him how to close these new blinds so I watched your video instead 😂
Glad I could help!
I just tried this and it worked perfectly. Thank you!
Just moved to nrw place and daw this cordless monster 😮God bless! you safe my night! Thank you so much!
Thanks you!! You just saved the privacy of my kitchen !!!❤
Thank you❤ I moved to the new house and I didn’t know how to lower the curtain
Web comes thru for helping me resolve my issue. THANK YOU for your video!!!
Thank you so much 😂😂😂 I’m use to strings on Venetian blinds. I just figured it out thanks to you 🙏🏾
Thank you, Nancy!! You are my lifesaver!!!
Thank you so much, I just moved into a new place and thought I just couldn’t move my blinds up and down anymore
Literally the most helpful video ever!! Thank you so much. 💯
Thanks. I tried rotating the stick incrementally and pull, then rotate incrementally in reverse direction when first rotational direction didn’t work. I think cleaning ladies moved up from resting position such that after hanging for a long time the spring needs to be reset or something.
I think the spring mechanism is tired or gummed up. Try moving it each day and see if it’ll loosen.
Thank you I’m a child so I was never taught to do it and I needed to figure out how to do it
🗣️Thank you for sharing❣️
Wow.. thank you.. I spent half an hour leaning over my kitchen sink where the window is! Jeez I hope they loosen up a bit. ❤
Thank you so much for showing us how to close our blinds. First time having cordless ones. 😂
Thanks for making this video! I’m in an apt & just got a new set of these cordless blinds. They go up easy but way too hard to pull down. Not good for my bad back either. Maintenance guy is clueless. Any ideas to make it pull down easier?

Thx so much…just moved into an apt & never had these kind b4 & was about 2 break them…thought I was losing it😂
Just bought a house with these blinds, this is definitely not a lame video. You’re out here saving blinds.
Omg thank you so much 😂😂😂 I've been using my coat to cover my window until I looked this up! This is why I love RUclips
Thanks so much. Visiting US at an Air BnB... same thing. Amazing view, but after dark. Yikes. The small ones I got to pull down, but the picture window sized ones were scary. But I just put some 'welly' into it and down they came. Cheers!
Yes, the larger ones do take some force to lower! Enjoy your visit!
You just saved me from a fight with my roommate because he lifted them up and I couldn't figure out how to lower them, I haven't tried it yet but I feel confident that it will work. Otherwise we will be having a fight.
Did it work?
very helpful. I was hoping that someone would do a video on this. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much It took me days to figure this out You are amazing
Thanks for this video! I couldn't figure out how to pull the blinds back down without it. 😂
OMGsh...I've been in my house 1 year this month the whole time thinking okay I guess some shades are made to not go up and down anymore! 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you!
Thank you so much I did have to pull harder than I thought this was so helpful.
I think sometimes you need to lift the blinds up slightly to loosen them before pulling down.
I FINALLY got them started! So u have to push them up a tad like you’re going to lift them and then pull them down. I can’t get them all the way down tonight bcuz my headboard is in the way..but, I got them down a lot more than they were!
Thank you so much, I’m a guest in a house and was about to cry because I raised them in an emergency to get air in the room
I’m glad you could lower them!
haha thank you mam, I am new to america and this confused me alot in my new apartment. You save me from shame by calling my apartment maintenance guy and complaining that my blinds are broken.
Lol, you’re welcome. And welcome to America :) You’re not the only one trying to figure out how to raise and lower cordless blinds. Someone else requested the video!
great video. needed to use some force to pull them down but this really helped
After I stood looking for the pull string for 5 minutes…lol.
Thank you!
Someone requested this video, so you are not alone… and some of the larger cordless blinds don’t retract easily! Thanks for watching and commenting!
After Day 2 I watched this video and I finally figured out out how to close these blinds 😅😂
