Use the flathead screwdriver to poke the pin inside the lock mechanism; this pin holds the lock. Place the screwdriver head in a perpendicular position to the head rail and press the flat surface against the pin. This should release the blinds. Replace the blinds on the brackets and close the doors.
Considering this, how do you unstick blinds?
Tug on the Cords Tug the cords gently that raise and lower the blinds to loosen the blinds and lower them. Pull the cords to the left toward the center of the blinds and parallel to the head rail, putting tension on it as you lightly tug.
Also to know is, why do blinds get stuck?
This is caused due to the "Pawl"(see figure) binding. To release the blinds tug the lift cords to the side pulling towards the center of the blinds. If this does not work, the pawl must be released, follow these easy steps. Remove the blinds by taking the headrail out of the brackets.
- Remove the cap covering the hole in the bottom rail of the venetian blinds.
- Hold the end of the new cord in your hand.
- Carefully, roll the hot, melted ends together between your fingertips to bond the cords together.
- Pull on the tassel or lift cord, and it should string right through the blind.
