ROLLER BLIND FIX, how to fix a blackout blind ( 4K )

how to fix a broken roller blind.
A broken window blind can be a pain but this DIY roller blind fix is quite a easy fix. some people could try this fix on their blinds before buying a new one. in the video you will see how to fix the roller blind mechanism to allow the blind to be opened and closed with ease, you will see how to dismantle the mechanism, fix and re assemble. this is the same for a lot of blackout blind as well.
IMPORTANT : the blind and cord should be installed correctly and in accordance to the guidance, legislations and instructions from the manufacturer and can be seen on the GOV UK website, the cords/string/chain ect.. on blinds pose a strangulation risk especially to children. so it is important they are fitted safely, correctly and kept out of reach of children.

[@ElisabethSowerbutts]

brilliant - thank you neither of us are very handy - so super impressed you showed us how to dismantle our blind - in our case Ithink it was just the chord had jumped out of the track - the blind was stuck 1/2 way down and wouldn't move . We got it back together and now it works

[@kirankpotluri5874]

Thank you. I have an altogether different mechanism... all plastic & a thread that winds & unwinds on a spool. Your video did help me to know how to pull out mechanism to see inside & fix it. Moreover, your attempt gave me courage & confidence to go for the job. I am really very grateful to your help through this video ❤😊

Yir a legend mate. Just fixed the weans blind with this video. Had to Dremel the end off though as I didn't have a hacksaw then wrapped it all up again with fuse wire

[@johnc2306]

Thanks so much Rusty, brilliant set of videos. I have now successfully fixed my blind which decided not to work. Essentially I took it apart and put it back together again, but without your videos I would not have succeeded. You are a star!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Nice one very handy

[@RustyDIY]

Thanks

[@jaysonlast576]

Same shade and mechanism, but in my case the plastic chain came off. I tried to get it back on by taking the outside chain protector off (not necessary) but then I stumbled on your fix and pulled the entire mechanism away from the shade, as you instructed, and fed the plastic chain one link at a time, with the point of a screwdriver, until it came out the other side and pulled it out the rest of the way and snapped it secure. Lucky I had another proper shade to mimic but would have gotten nowhere without your vid. Thank you.

[@RustyDIY]

Nice work. There is actually another video on my channel of putting the chain back on as well. I'm glad you fixed it 😁

[@dongune5074]

Wow thanks for the video 💥really helpful 👌🥳

[@talamass346]

I bought main from ikea, and the different is that ikea replaced the chain with a stick and I broke the stick and now I don't know what to do should I remove the stick?

[@acuriouseye]

I seem to have the same problem. Hoping this fixes it.

[@RustyDIY]

Good luck 👍 fingers crossed 🤞

[@RustyDIY]

Let us know if its successful 😀

[@Om-gg5tk]

Thanks for the video! I have a quick question- In my case, I am having those vertical slat blinds and I have 2 issues and would greatly appreciate your response! (1) In my living room window blinds, only 1 out of the total 9 blinds move when I pull the rope attachment. The remaining 8 blinds just stop moving along with the first one after 2 seconds of pulling my rope attachment so there is this huge gap created when I close the blind and sunlight comes right in.What to do about it? (2) For my bedroom window blinds, i ma having the same issue but in this case 4 out of 9 blinds move after pulling the rope attachment. The remaining 5 just won’t move at all after a while so it creates a wide gap and sunlight comes right in. How to solve this issue? Thanks ahead of time for your response🙏

[@geoffreyliss6817]

How do I remove blind and roller from the case? Do not see any mounting screws?.

[@biffagump8B]

Excellent video and information. Thank you. I've got a 6' outdoor blind that the mechanism doesn't turn in either direction so I'm not actually sure what to do with it. It doesn't seem like it wants to pull off the end either.

[@RustyDIY]

Thanks, id guess the metal spring has maybe broken and got wedged. It is possible that some roller blinds aren't able to be taken apart unfortunately

[@ernhamDjinn]

thanks for the help, the manufacturer's website is less than helpful to fix this simple issue.

[@RustyDIY]

thanks for watching I'm glad it was useful 😊

[@felixfelix7549]

Hi, nice video, do you know what is the springs thing called? I try to find replacement online but could not find it.

[@RustyDIY]

Ooo I have no idea I'm afraid 😅 I would have thought you could get one tho somewhere 🤔

[@geoffreyliss6817]

Blinds now roll up and down but will not stay in position? What part controls that?

[@RustyDIY]

on mine its the little bent bits on the spring bit and a part of the mechanism has a plastic nib on that sits between them, and their is the other plastic part that is wider than the spring bits, so depending what the mechanism is doing it can push against the spring to either loosen it or make it tighter so it spins or holds in position. but that is just how mine works its hard to try describe and there is probably loads of different variations. sorry if this doesn't make much sense.

[@laderricklaveau7487]

I Can’t Take Mine Down To Get To The Mechanism. How To You Uninstall It From The Mount?

[@RustyDIY]

one of mine has a plastic tab you remove, another you lift the blind up a bit then can slide out, and the 3rd one has another tab but its pushed in upwards not sideways for some reason. maybe yours is one of these ?

[@ohblimey21]

Mine never comes apart. These pissing units drive me wild.

[@barbara1904]

The mechanism doesn’t want to come out. Should I force it?

[@RustyDIY]

Come out the blind or come apart ? Might have a clip holding it on that you have to squeeze to open can see it on the other blind video on my channel might help

[@meeeee8211]

I’m 14 and I just broke my blinds and I’m trying to figure out how I do it 🥲

[@RustyDIY]

👏

[@ThatSameer]

Dude I've totally messed up can I email you or something please

[@RustyDIY]

Im sorry I didn't see this comment did you fix it ?

[@ThatSameer]

@@RustyDIY hi, no prob. I managed to use my brain and fixed it lol. It was those rings I couldn't figure out the correct way to put them on and still allow the blind to work. But I stopped and analysed what I was doing and worked out the right method. Now all good

[@RustyDIY]

@@ThatSameer awsome, ya doesn't help that they are often slightly different inside as well. Glad you sorted it 👍

[@melodiechartier5173]

these heaps shot get stuck all the time for o reason, i have zebra ones, just got them and already fucking broke, a t fix them!
