2" Blinds Won't Tilt Open or Close? Here's a Fix. 

8 years and this video’s still helping people! Thank you, I thought my blinds were nailed in but look like they’re easy to take down

Thank you SO much! Excellent instructions and video. My husband has Alzheimer's but wants to do all the things he used to do. Since I know how important it is for him to feel useful, I'm learning to undo what he has "fixed" when I can find some time alone.

I realize this video is 4 years old, but thought you would like to know that in 2019, you just saved Thanksgiving dinner for 2 little old ladies! Thanks, Chris!!

Right on the money! Mine had been stuck for 2 yrs. After watching this, fixed them in 5 mins.

Thank you soooooo much....I just fixed my blinds after waiting 4 months for my husband to fix it.

Our blinds were broken for almost a year but then we found your video. It was an easy and cost free fix. Thanks so much! You saved the day!

You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for your logical, step-by-step instructions with perfect photography, too! I repaired my blinds instantly.

Chris, great video! Clearly showed just what I needed to see. Fixed my blinds in just a few minutes. Thanks!

Thank you!!! Now I can watch the hummingbirds again, on my front porch, from my comfy recliner!

Guy!!!! Your video was PERFECT!! Saved me from ripping these things off the wall.

Good visual, right amount of verbal instructions, good pace. Excellent video.

We bought our house a year and a half ago. About a year ago this happened with several of the blinds in our house. I'm usually intimidated by even the smallest home projects but lately have felt motivated to go out and try to find instructions on how to fix things. I can't believe it's this easy and I've put it off this long. I just saw this video this morning at work and now I can't wait to get home and get to fixing! Thanks!

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. A 20 minute job saved me $125! Thank you!

Probably the most straightforward tutorial on youtube PERIOD

This video just keeps on giving. Perfect explanation and I fixed the blinds in my kids' room in 5 mins. Thank you!

I never thought I’d be able to fix my own blinds. This helped me so much! THANK YOU!

Thanks bro! Family had one set of blinds that wouldn’t open or close and it was driving me insane for years. Hope for Turkey Day and I decided to take matters into my own hands and fix it! Video was smooth and easy to follow! Thank you!

This 100% solved my problem! Thank you, this is exactly what was wrong with my blinds and your video was just what I needed to see to fix them!

Excellent video, it was quick and in depth. The visuals were clear and instructive. If you have a wand instead of cords, like me, just replace the entire mechanism.

THAAANNNKKKK YOU!!!! I have been trying to fix my wood blinds for months and was almost resigned to just getting new blinds, but they were so expensive! I found this video and fixed both of my bedroom blinds that would not open and close correctly. I had to just put them up or down, that was my choice. But now I am so very happy that you took your time to post this video! Excellent!

GREAT instructions. I didn't think I could do it. I thought I'd break it. But your instructions were spot on and I was able to fix my blinds myself. I'm so happy! Thank you!!!!!!

Much thanks Chris for a clear audio/video and DIY education!

Renting an expensive but falling-apart house that has crap blinds. Found your video after a year of putting up with it and voila, fixed without having to further trouble the owners! Thank you for your video!

WOW! I knew this was fixable, just didn't know how! Well shot, easy to see all the necessary parts! Now when I open and close the blinds, I will make sure both ends of the cord are taut and pull slowly, and I bet this will prevent it from happening again. Thanks, Chris!

I've been procrastinating on fixing the blinds but I will definitely try this weekend. Looks like an easy fix and my wife will think I just saved the world 🤠

Thank you for this Chris, you rock! I have been so frustrated with this issue in my home and thanks to you, I was able to resolve it in a flash. Much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to show me how its done :).

We bought our house last March, we have these same blinds! They worked when we first moved in and then started getting stuck. I found this video and this was literally the exact problem we had and reason they were getting stuck! I was able to follow along to this video and fix it in minutes! THANK YOU!!! 🙌🏻

Chris, clear and simple directions; plan on using them to fix my blind; thanks for the great video!

thank you so much! While the string wasn’t my problem, this video helped me locate and deconstruct and construct my blinds very easily!

My two young boys watched your video and fixed two of our blinds in our house. Great video

Fixed my apartments blinds in about 15 minutes with the help of this video. Mine must have never been touched because the metal piece was realllly hard to pull off. I ended up not forcing it, just using tweezers and feeding the thread through to get some room to fish the line back onto the roller. I even wiped out the dust it collected and they’re back to normal!! Thank you!!!

Thank you very much for the wonderful demonstation with an amazingly clear video..!!!...I just now fixed the stuck venetian blind.. Please do more for the things need fixing around the house....

Thank you so much, all of my blinds had begun sticking and I thought I would have to replace them all! Brilliant quick solution to a quite simple issue. Bless.

Thank you for posting this video, I have the same blinds, in my bedroom, looked up your video, and it worked for me, definitely putting this video under handy videos =)

Absolute legend! Managed to fix my blinds which were 'broken' for years, in just a few minutes. My problem was the rod running through all the components wasn't reaching the wheel, so as the wheel moved the other components and the blinds wouldn't. I'd never have even thought it was possible to open them up and fix it myself if it weren't for you!

It worked thanks! Got the light back in our living room and you made it super easy, I seen other videos of people cutting strings and I was like: oh hell no lol

This is the issue I was having with my blinds! Thank You for sharing!!

Thank you SO MUCH! Your very clear instructions have helped me to understand the mechanism and fix the blind myself.

I thought I messed up so had. They were half stuck on one side and we had to leave them open all night. But because of this took us 5 minutes to fix it. Thanks!!

Mate, you're a life saver. Thank you.

Recently single after being w a General contractor most my life and learning to do things myself. Thank you. Fixed in 1 min flat.

This was the first thing that came up on Google when I was looking for a way to fix my stuck blinds. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS

This was by far the easiest diy I have ever done. Also it took about the same time as the video. Wish I saw this a few years ago so we could have been using the blinds. Thank you for the video.

Well done,sir. Your video helped me fix my curtains right before the realtor came to take photos. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you!!! You just saved me a ton of money on costly repairs or replacing the entire blind! I love that your video was brief and to the point as well 👍

I came to this video hoping to try and learn somewhat about how the mechanisms work from you fixing it, and you did an excellent job of helping me understand how it works

Chris, I see that this was posted a few years ago, but it was just as relevant for me today. Thank you.

Chris, thanks for the demo, and thanks for breaking the sweat.💥Shazam!

I was planning on replacing my blinds this weekend but man this video saved me some money, and I learned how to fix something new! Thank you!!

Thank you thank you! Your video is still helping people after all these years!

Thanks so much! The wheel wouldn't come out of mine ,but I used a crochet hook to unwrap the cord and get it back on track. My husband was impressed with my repair skills.

Thank you so much for this. My problem was a little different, I discovered, but I wouldn't have even been able to get started without this video. As it is, my blinds are now fixed!

I just fixed my Blind folosind your instructions. U just helped me to save 160 euro !! Thanks!!!

Thank you very much for posting your video! I wasn’t able to take out the reel, so I used an eyeglass screwdriver to push back the cord that was on top of the reel, and it fell into place!! Thanks again!!!

Nice job Mr Chris. Gives me confidence to dive right into it!

Great video! Was able to fix my blinds by following your instructions. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the video - I was able to fix my Bali blind that wouldn't open and close properly using your clear instructions.

thank you spent hrs trying to fix my blinds that wouldnt go back down your tuturiol helped me fix that.

Great Dad. Great Man. Thank you! ❤

Great and simple video. We fixed our blinds just now.. thank you 😊

Solution was perfect for the problem i was having with my blinds, thanks for the video. One comment, while fixing i accidentally moved the rod that connects the three twisters and one of them got misaligned when i put the rod back in, this caused the blinds to not actually turn even when the pulley was moving perfectly. Took some time to figure that out, posting the comment just in case some one else also did the same and was trying to fix it.

Thanks for this video Its people like you that save us people watching calling out someone to fix it and charging high prices! Keep up the good work.

Yours is the perfect explanation and video! The only difference I have is that the cord has crossed over itself inside the wheel and gets knotted on itself. I think you’ve given me enough info to make it work, though. Thanks!

Bravo dude! This is exactly the video I was looking for. Short and sweet and to the point. I didn't even have to fast forward to skip a bunch of boring talk!! You da bomb! Now I'm gonna go fix my blinds....yay!!!! Blessings to you!

Great video. Blinds in my son's room where "broken." After watching your video. Took me about 5 minutes, blinds are back to work in perfectly. Thanks!

THANK YOU for making this video and sharing your knowledge! Easy fix once you know how.

Well done! I was able to fix in under 10 minutes!! Thank you for sharing 🙂

You are life saver. I just follow your structure and did fix my blinds success. Thank you so much! 🙏🙏

Thank you Chris! This saves me money because I thought I would need to buy new blinds! Great video!😊

Thank you. Our blinds use a different system. I have used coconut oil to fix our blinds (i put some coconut oil on each little " wheels" , after 2-3 little up and down, the blind is fixed ! and it works like it's new !)

Spot on! Even though I had a different type of blind, This works! You are a legend! Thank you!

Thank you! I needed to replace the low profile tilt mechanism. Also, thanks for the tip to slide the blinds out of the bracket.

Your DIY video is awesome. I got it working in less than five minutes. Thank you!!!

Thank you for your DIY video. Really helped me I thought I'd have to replace the entire blind. You saved me a bunch of money. Thank you!

Just what I needed to repair brand new blinds! Thank you for this great video

Worked perfectly. Great video! Short and to the point. Thanks man!

Hey Chrish thank you very much for the easy to understand video. You are a life savor. I was freaking out since one of my blind wasn’t opening/closing and I was about to replace it. It was just a silly simple step to fix it. For me being a non handy person , it was a rocket science:)) but now after watching your video , I feel like a pro who can fix blinds like a piece of cake :)) Thanks again 🙏🙏

Oh man. You just saved my freaking day. I have 2 like this and I was hoping I googled the correct wording. Thank you Thank You

Thank you for this video! I'm so proud of myself for doing it alone lol

I Succeeded from this video simple hands on instructions! Now I am the new handy woman in my neighborhood 😀

Great video...informative and to the point. Others could learn a lot from this guy about length of video.

Well done! Took my blinds down to paint, kitten played with the strings and after installing them-didn’t tilt! Your method worked for my Bali blinds. Yes, raise the blinds first as in is too cumbersome with them lowered.

Just fixed the blind in my bathroom following your advice. Thank you.

Thank you for this, I just fixed my daughters blind with this video, thanks a million

Thank you man! I've been wanting to fix my blinds for months. I woke saying, I'm fixing this today!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have never taken blinds off my window before. After watching your video, I was able to do that, and fix the strings to now open and close. I used a thin screwdriver to place the string back on the wheel. 🎉🎉🎉

Yes! Exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for the details and easy-to-follow guidance.

so glad I found this video - exactly what I needed to fix what I thought was a broken blind - thank you!

Lifesaver! One of the most frustrating things about these blinds is when this happens, which is often, but now I know how to fix it :-)

Thank you so much....fixed some broken blinds! Very easy to see and understand.

This was such a great help two of my BLINDES were stuck likes this. THANK YOU

Thanks for the very helpful video. My wood blinds weren't exactly the same on the inside but I was able to get the cord wrapped correctly with just using a flathead screwdriver.
