Brilliant, this is exactly what we needed! Should be titled: "How to fix a roller blind chain that has come off its track", since this doesn't deal with a broken chain.

[@MultiShiv19]

This video is still helping people 15 years later. Thank you!

[@QuiDocetDiscit]

Had to say a big THANKS before I left. Wow! 15 yrs ago?! Knowledge is precious.

[@hellosigh]

And all it took this girl was a KZbin video, thanks dude! 💪

[@sydneybirchall9158]

Thank you so much. Some moron at my house did exactly what you demonstrated to tear the chain out of the track and your video saved an expensive repair call out!

[@LifeOfGareth]

Thank you! Was really battling. You're instructions were easy to follow and worked perfectly. Saved me a call out fee. Much appreciated.

[@dalethompson5077]

Thank you. This is just what I needed. My mechanism was slightly different, but everything you said helped me fix my problem. Very grateful to you for sharing your tips.

[@bronwynleon]

Thanks for the video it took a few minutes to reinstall the chain on the track and easily put the blind back on the bracket. Useful video ladies 👌

[@HighlightsfrommySteamlibrary]

13 year old video and still such a great help! Thank you!

[@shilpzy]

Thank you!!! waited for my (very busy) hubby to fix it for 6 months...eventually took matters into my own hands and found this.... ^_^ he fixed it immediately!!

[@MrsTeller]

Thanks so much! Been asking hubby to fix for two months! Haha thanks to your video I didn’t need him! Thanks! 👊🏽

[@awallace100]

Thank you!!!!! This saved us with our holiday rental!

[@geekychik86]

My handyman managed to fix my blind because of your video and the straight forward instructions you gave. Thank you so much!

[@Aquascape_Dreaming]

Thanks heaps for this. blind chain in the bedroom of my new house had come off and I couldn't work out how to remove the blind from the mounts. All fixed now, and subbed to your channel.

[@katejones4632]

Thank you from an 80year old, appreciate your time and thoughtfulness👋👍.

[@davidmackinnon156]

Fantastic - I have been dreading that job for years on my high rise apartment blind. Worked like a charm - thank you :)

[@asalimi]

Best video, straight forward, short and sweet. Good on you

[@rameshnayudub]

thanks guys.. i have been chasing the real estate guys.. but no luck.. this video helped my long pending issues..

[@misschrissie100]

Thank you so much for this video.I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to get the pesky chain back on again.Gotta love KZbin eh !

[@alexgmcm]

My blind didn't have a screw - in which case you can remove the control mechanism just by pulling it hard from the blind, it might be quite stiff - but it worked for me.

[@sen1981dhil]

Hey i had the same problem, so i figured out that there should be some way the chain should have come out in the first place. So once i removed the blind all i did was to open up the plastic covering with the help of a screw driver and create enough opening to put the chain back. The plastic is strong enough for you to open up just exactly to the size of the bearings.

[@jjperry164]

THANK YOU!!! I broke the blind in my toddler's room and my husband is out late tonight. Your instructions are simple enough for me, a mere woman, to be able to fix it!

[@LouisStenmark]

Super helpful thanks mate. I’m now a legend in my apartment because of you.

[@Kazukii29]

Thanks heaps, help from this video I can now sleep in a dark room thanks to working blinds :D always good to hear instructions from my fellow Australian.

[@Delboy0758]

I found your video very helpful I pulled my chain out while cleaning them And it came off that clip that’s on it to stop you hurting yourself I would not of known what to do if you haven’t made this video So thank you and stay safe👍✋🏻

[@Jusaysworld]

This guy is a CHAMP. Saved my blinds

[@mikefairhurst4376]

Thank you so much! This video has just allowed me to repair both blinds in my flat! So simple when you know how! Thanks again.

[@captaincad1977]

Thanks mate. Worked a treat. Been kicking around for hours.

[@shenry8078]

Thank you! I couldn't work out how the chain came off the mechanism still in tact. All fixed! :)

[@inskip072]

Very good my thanks, I couldn't have fixed my roller blind without your help

[@jenniwren6472]

Thank you. Easy instructions for me to understand and see exactly what was happening. Although the operating circle was a bit different design than this one being described, I was able to fix it myself. (my almost 68 year old brain, still had some idea what to do )

[@FrancesHart99]

My blinds have the screw inside the control mechanism instead of the outside as shown here. These instructions helped me successfully complete the job.

[@christophbrown1234]

BRILLIANT! The displaced chain has been SOOO aggravating, and I couldn't work out how to get it back on. Too easy - once you know how!! Thanks heaps.

[@liamkelly6138]

Fantastic!! Thank you so much for the video. We have had a blind off it's track for months. I'm off to the shed to get the Phillips-head screwdriver to fix it.

[@petermccullagh4663]

Excellent, clear easy instructions. I recommend it to everyone.

[@violation7294]

Excellent, clear explanation, straight to the point. Lifesaver 😀

[@2009meina]

hi. I got the lesson and applied it on my project....now it is perfect. thx dude.

[@jimjakosh2506]

When you put the chain back on, don't you have to keep in mind where that connector link is in the chain so it does not hit the top before the blind is all the way down?

[@jackfreemantle4188]

This video was super helpful and it makes everything so clearer .

[@deirdrebrooke9103]

Thank you so very much!! Your video definitely saved me having useless blinds.

[@traceymonahan7099]

Wow what a great video. So easy to understand and so so helpful. Thank you

[@tomd9611]

[@jamorcreamfirst]

Brilliant, thanks for this. Glad I watched it before I tried to rip the end off 😂

[@annec6805]

Thank you for a brilliant and clear video. My daughter now has a working blind again in her room!!

[@thewildwoodwitch1008]

Great fix! Thanks for the help mates. 😊

[@nakuma]

Extremely helpful video, showed exactly what I needed to know and fixed my blinds! Thanks a lot guys!

[@rc1983]

Ours do not have a screw. Still having a problem to take the mechanism apart.

[@david97sydney]

You have explained extremely well in the video. Could I possibly buy a metal connector from you?

[@monkeyboi282]

You know a 13 year old video won’t have a 20 minute intro with sponsors and all the rest of it. Great job

[@aldershot5100]

Thanks very much.A relief that I dont have t get a new one

[@nprincess90]

This saves me every time one of my little darlings gets a hold of the chain on the blind :)

[@bybre]

Thank you so much! Excellent video, it helped me a lot!!!

[@eschatology46]

thanks so much, just fixed my blinds!!! It was easy thanks to you!!!

[@alicewharmby9351]

Thank you! Just fixed my mother in laws broken blind!

[@tapere7277]

Very helpful, had it fixed in seconds. Good clear instructions.

[@Maxthelittlecat]

This is a great video, but like the others we don't have a screw in our mechanism. How are you meant to do it if you don't have a screw? Help please!

[@MirandaJean88]

You guys are legends! Complete accident that the chain came off and I knew there must be some sort of pop out mechanism - you think I could figure that bit out though? Ha ha, yeah right. Needed to get it sussed before my housemate gets back and now I don't have to worry about a chewing out from her because of a complete accident. Honestly, some people are arseholes concerning the smallest little problems that easily be fixed. Thanks for saving my bacon. ;)

[@HarlzTube]

Thank you... it all makes sense once you see the sequence of steps to repair.

[@CoreyBedford]

Legends, my blind's cord has been out since I moved in and finally been able to sort it. Took me five mins tops.

[@imspice]

Thank you for this vid. I have now fixed my broken blind :)

[@timothymattison9402]

That was clear and extremely helpful. Thanks 🙂

[@kappdog]

Amazing description thanks

[@PollyJaneThronsen]

Thank you! This just saved my son from being in a lot of trouble ;-)

[@thamesironworkers36]

😂. Isn't KZbin wonderful just saved my son from getting into a whole lot of trouble also. I actually broke the roller blind. But if my wife was to find out. I would have blamed my son.

[@amandarafferty4551]

Thank you, who new I could fix my blind. 😊

[@CherryPhosphate70]

Thanks very much! I think that counts as my first ever DIY! Much appreciated.

[@1corrsfan]

I have this type of blind but mines not getting hard or stuck or off it’s track but when using it, I can pull it down part way but then it just unrolls down by itself so I have to wedge the chain to a wire to hold it in place. Any help would be gratefully accepted. Many thx

[@ER6258]

Thanks a lot - very generous of you to share your knowledge so clearly

[@happyhans08]

Thank you. This is what i need from long time ago

[@darthmaul208]

Thanks great help. Actually had it fixed just needed to put it back up.

[@helendavies7095]

Heyyyy! Done, thankyou your video showed me how! 😄😄😄

[@bw888]

Just make sure the chain connector clip (connecting the two ends of the chain to make the chain loop) doesn't foul the mechanism when the blind is pulled up/down. Get that aligned at the top of a rolled up blind before reinstalling on the window so that the clip goes down when the blind is also pulled down.

[@josephfrancis434]

Not able to remove the screw from mechanism, what size driver are you using??

[@andychien07]

Awesome!!! step by step instructions! just what i needed!

[@Destiny971]

Thank you ! I fixed my blind myself. Clear instructions.

[@maxineamon]

Chain fix for RollerBlind. In case you are here to reattach the chain for a Louvolite Shade System 40 clutch R3025, this is what you do Remove blind - steps to do this: - roll up blind (if you can with a little force, but not essential), push chain end in a direction it will move a little, usually up, push toward other end., it should nonkw be detachable from chain end) Once removed, roll up blind if not already Pull out mechanism on chain end - the whole chain enclosure mechanism should slide out - use a flathead screwdriver to ease out if necessary. Remove the plastic pin from point at the end, prise out with a small Phillips screwdriver in the hole if can't do manually Replace the chain - if it has a joiner the make sure it is placed close the mechanism on the side where the chain is chain is will drop down. Reverse process to refit.

[@surge1927]

I'm not sure what you mean by "little plastic wheel". Is it part of the blind or part of the structure the blind is in? Is it possible that this design doesn't have it and if so what is my next step? Cheers for any help.

[@laozharbo]

Thanks heaps. Fixed my blind today

[@ninaxuereb]
