Thank you from a dad to another. I bought these Bali shades in May. One of my kids pulled it too hard and it got stuck. I called Lowe’s, I called Bali. Bali is willing to send me a new one instead of fixing it. Crazy right! I finally found your video and I was able to fix it! Best feeling ever! Thanks man!

I wasn't able to get the clips on either end of my window blind to open but something that worked for me was making the blinds level (left side strings) by making the length of them both even. And then I tried one last time to pull down and then left on my right side strings and it helped bring down the blinds. Hope this helps someone else!

Unfortunately it may be time to replace it. I don’t think lubricants will help the pin work better. Mine will still get stuck on occasion but is continuing to work most of the time. This is more of a quick fix so you don’t have an open blind where people can see in.
