The traditional roller window shade is making a comeback after about a 30-year decline in popularity.
Today's consumer simply doesn't know how window shades work and this is causing many people to believe the window shades they've purchased are inferior or defective.
This video demonstrates how to tighten the shade spring for proper functioning. (If your problem is with releasing or loosening an over-tightened window shade spring, watch THIS video • How To Release An Over... )
Window shades provide privacy, add beauty, aid in energy conservation, and are an economical window treatment in both residential and commercial environments.
Contact Mazer Wholesale, Inc. for great prices when you need to purchase window shades in bulk for your home, investment properties, schools, or business.

Here's an easier way to do it. Take a kitchen fork. Put it on the flat metal end of the shade, the same that he showed you, so that the flat metal piece is between the tines of the fork. Hold it tight. And then turn the fork clockwise until you feel a tightening. Just be careful that you don't tighten it too much or hold the fork too loosely because it can spring back on you once you tighten it. But that's a sure, easy way of tightening it and it's the old school way. It's the way I did it growing up ( I am 68) when all the shades were the spring type shades.

@erijerij214 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for this comment! Saved me a lot of time. But to everyone else, hold your forks tight. I loosened my grip just a litttle bit and it got catapulted across the room😅

@TaskerStreete 4 года назад

Wow. I've had this problem for years on our bedroom blinds, they would never roll up properly. Doing some painting, rolled the shades back up by hand to put them back in. Came here to find out how to fix the spring, went back to test the shade, and it's working perfectly! So I fixed it without even realizing it! Haha. Thanks!

@mickster6465 5 лет назад

I called Andrew to ask how to loosen the shade spring when tension is to high (shade was very hard to pull down, then wouldn't go back up). He took the time to explain it to me. Old fashion customer service, gotta love it! Thanks Andrew!!!

@shomiwillson3480 5 лет назад

Thank you.. I just bought new roller shades and have been struggling to get the tension.. They are long shades of 70 plus inches and it's quite the curl work out to roll them up over and over.. But enjoy them very much.. love the clean look that roller shades add to my window decor. large windows and i love the view that they offer over other blinds.

@tandblue2 2 года назад

Thank you for your roller shade videos. Your instructions and explanations are so clear and straightforward and finally I understand how to mount, trim, and maintain them. I appreciate very much how you stick to the point without a lot of preamble.

Hi Andrew, you are the best, was suffering with my roll-up for a long time and just fixed it in less than 2 minutes after seeing your video. Every day, specially during cold months rolling it up in the morning and rolling it down in the evening became a formidable task! Now it's been taken care of with your help! THANK YOU 🙏

@lilbluange1 6 месяцев назад

Completely agree! I bought new shades for my childhood bedroom a couple of years ago because the ones in there were all ripped up. One of them was “malfunctioning” but I was too lazy to replace it. Every time I visit my parents it annoys me to see it pulled down. This video just saved me a trip to Home Depot :)

Hi Andrew, What if our roller shade’s spring is sprung? It won’t catch when we try to wind it.

Nice job, Andrew. Being a third generation retailer myself, I enjoyed your little bit of personal history. Plus, as you said, window shades are back, I guess. I grew up with them in the 50's & 60's in my parent's house. Now, we are adding some to our new sunroom that has a few hours of intense sun in the summer. Thank you for your help. M.
