Thanks! I bought two of these, the first didn't come with instructions, the second did. Of course we didn't think to look in both boxes, it was a very stressful couple of minutes until we found this video!

@judithcatlett8518 6 лет назад

This video was very helpful. I put up my blind with no problem. However, since math isn't my forte I had to measure several times before placing the brackets. It came out perfect. I plan to buy more of these shades, because I immediately felt the air difference in my house. Thank you.

I was beginning to think that the brackets were handcrafted by the sulfury fingers of the devil himself. Could not get left bracket to click. Took off bracket and determined there wasn't enough tension on the spring clip. Bent it out a little more and exorcised the demon.

@alexandanu 7 лет назад

it would be helpful if you explained more in detail the actual "snapping in" process between the shade and the brackets because that's what we're having trouble with; it's definitely not as easy as shown in this video; what are the actual connections that are occurring - totally invisible to the installer of course - between the bracket parts and the header of the shade? We can't get ours to click either

@fixmyblinds 7 лет назад

Does your shade look exactly like the one in this video or is it different?

@alexandanu 7 лет назад

it's slightly different; I will email photos now to service@fixmyblinds.com. Thanks very much for your response.

@fixmyblinds 7 лет назад

That will be great! Then, we can give you some specific instructions.

@sandyshoremann7524 5 лет назад

These brackets can be tricky, but after reading the enclosed instructions and spending some time sitting with and looking at - and trial fitting - the bracket and the header (before the install) you should be able to "see" how it would work. I really worry these days about folks not being able to comprehend the workings of simple "snap together" parts. Maybe not enough playtime in kindergarten hammering "round pegs in a square hole" playskool workbench :)

My bracket is same as your page instruction. I have put the bracket inside mount exactly as in the instruction, but I could not install shade into it. There was no "snapping". I repeat there was no "snapping". And my shade was falling right away. I agreed with Pat Kowalczyk that if you could close up of snapping into place. And if you could explain how to do that slowly. That is one of important step. That is not really helpful, but thank you so much anyway.

@fixmyblinds 7 лет назад

You have to first place the back/underside of the top rail into the bottom of the bracket. Then, snap the shade UP into the bracket.

Do you have a video showing an outside installation? on my windows, I don't have enough depth to do the "preferred" inside install and was worried about light leaking from the sides on an outside install. In other words, how close will the bracket on an outside install allow the shade material approach the outside trim boards? TY

@fixmyblinds 5 лет назад

Sandy, We do not have a video for outside mount on these brackets. But, to mount outside, you'll install the screws through the backside of the bracket instead of putting the screws through the top. There could be light leaking on the sides of an outside mount. How far does the width of the blind overlap your window on each side?

@andrewjames4346 5 лет назад

What is the bit holder you are using while screwing in... it looks like it helps prevent the screw falling over......i need and want this.

Al, that's called a hex driver. It works for screws that have a hexagon shaped head. It's extremely helpful. We sell one size on our website: www.fixmyblinds.com/magnetic-hex-driver.html

I want to replace my existing window blinds with these shades. Can I mount the shades on my existing window blind mounting brackets?

@fixmyblinds 3 года назад

Hi there! To mount new blinds, you must use the brackets that they come with. Most brackets are unique to the shades they are made for and there isn't usually the opportunity to use what is already in place.

@cebear1 9 лет назад

So to remove the shade in order to work on it, does it snap out? Any special instructions in order to remove a shade?

cebear1 If you push the tabs on the back of the brackets down and back, it will release the bracket. Hope that helps.

@fixmyblinds 3 года назад

Hi there, Honestly, these brackets can be a bit tricky to work with. You hook on the top part of the bracket first and then push the shade back/down to hook it on the bottom. These brackets need to be installed exactly even and level to work properly. This webpage may be helpful: www.levolor.com/customer-support/installation/how-to-install-cellular-csn.

@evanbabiash5385 8 лет назад

+cmlstudio This happened to me too did you ever find a way to fix this problem?

@cmlstudio 8 лет назад

No. It just isn't attached on one end. Only firmly attached in the middle and the opposite end.

@fixmyblinds 8 лет назад

+cmlstudio We've found that with these type of brackets, they have to be in perfect alignment in order for all of them to work together. Double check the bracket alignment with a straight edge.

@cmlstudio 8 лет назад

Thank you fixmyblinds, I will try that. We adjusted the far right bracket for that reason when the center and left would click in but the right wouldn't. All we accomplished was now the center and right clicks in and the left side won't. For a DIY blind, it shouldn't be this technical. Or directions should say it is IMPERATIVE that installer uses a straight edge or laser line. We measured, but a hair off is critical with these blinds. Can't return as they were custom cut.

@squeezebug23 6 лет назад

cmlstudio I thought that too but called Lowe’s and they’ll replace it for free if it’s broken, which both of mine did, they stopped retracting correctly.

Never explained how to measure where you mount the bracket to ensure the shade will be flush with the front edge of window frame. Also, the brackets i have do not look like this one so i need details on installing them. Mine cannot be mounted at front and top of sill - it can only be set at the back of the sill.

I absolutely agree. Especially if you're up on a ladder or stepstool with your arms stretched wide. It can be very frustrating.

@ripl8r379 6 лет назад

DarthMerlin Mine click right in . Didn't do a lot of measureing but I did find a problem that caused an issue . The window frame was pushing the battery pack down and causing it to not click on the right side. Taking the battery pack out will not help . It's the battery mount that is hitting the window frame. After moving the brackets out my unit clicked right in , no problem . Also make sure you do not have the clear release levers under the shade header . Just a thought .

@DarthMerlin 6 лет назад

The blinds I was installing were a different brand, but the same type. I don't know if that would've made a difference. I doubt it. I don't really know what you mean about a battery pack, though.

@philindeblanc 5 лет назад

I purchased a home with the Levlor that pulls down and with a press button they are supposed to retract the cell shades back up. I have 3 of these about 70inches wide and the window is 34" tall. They are insalled and width is very good, BUT the cellular shade length is way longer than the windows. When I pull it down, instead of the 34" of window it covers over 72 inches, and DOES NOT go back up when I press the button. I hear it click and a few inches it rolls up, but not the rest. Also since it is so long, it stacks very thick, covering more of the window than it likely should. What can I do to fix these? Are there any instructions on how to cut these to size and restring them? (I tried this video's recommendation with no difference)

@fixmyblinds 5 лет назад

Phil - Thanks for your question. As far as I know, there are no instructions to shorten this type of cellular shade. Since they are springloaded, it would be tricky to take them apart and get them back together and still be working properly. I've searched for any helps for this type of shade, but not come up with anything. You can contact Levolor directly, but they may refer you back to us. Their contact information can be found here: www.levolor.com/customer-support/customer-service. Please let me know if I can help with any other questions.

HOW DO U GET THEM BACK UP????

@fixmyblinds 7 лет назад

Maya, are you referring to hanging the shades or opening/lifting them? If you're referring to opening the shade please try the following. Gently pull down on the bottom rail to reactivate the cordless spring motor. This helps in many cases. Anytime the blind is left in the closed position for an extended period of time, the cordless spring motor may need to be reset in order to operate properly.

@Tk-xy1ds 5 лет назад

How would you recommend measuring and cutting cellular shade for 90" wide window. Using 2-45" shades. How would you handle the center of window where the two shades meet?

@fixmyblinds 5 лет назад

Hi TK, We don't cut down blinds here and don't have any recommendations for that. You can certainly install two shades next to each other. There will be a light gap where the fabric meets. To avoid the light gap, you can custom order a shade that covers the full width of the window opening. Or, consider ordering a custom shade with a two on one headrail. (That is two separate shades on the same mounting rail at the top.) There's much less of a light gap where the fabric pieces meet with two on ones. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.

Hi, thanks for your message. Once the blind stops raising and lowering, they need to either be fixed by a professional blind repair person or replaced with a new window covering.

@kosh2001 5 лет назад

My headrails are not sapping in like that...............SMH. Also the holes on my brackets are close to the center and the tab interferes to drill straight up or the brackets aren't as wide and that causes the tab to interfere in drilling straight up. I like the blinds but the brackets and how the headrails snap in SUCK!!!

@fixmyblinds 5 лет назад

Are your mounting brackets exactly like the ones in our video? This isn't the easiest type of bracket and shade to install. Are you still working on it or did you get it?

@kosh2001 5 лет назад

Not exactly the same, they're not as wide but the same style. Agreed.............the headrail want to snap in on one side but not the other side even when I'm applying the same amount of pressure to both side....if that makes sense, lol. I've gotten 2 blinds up so far(don't ask how but I final did get the headrails into the second bracket, lol) and have two more blinds to do. I like the style and the way they look but not crazy about the way the headrail/bracket attach.

@kosh2001 5 лет назад

Update............just did the third one and the headrails pop into the bracket so easy........again don't have a clue why the first one went so hard and had problems with the second one. Well on to the last one, lol!

@fixmyblinds 5 лет назад

That's great that it's getting easier as you go along. With these brackets, if they aren't lined up perfectly when installed, it can make it difficult to mount the blind. Maybe that was an issue with the first shade? Regardless, I'm glad that you got these shades hung up!

@kosh2001 5 лет назад

Thanks and agree. The left bracket needs to be like 11/4" instead of 1" to 2" per the instructions if that make sense, lol. I also used a step stool to be at the same elevation as the headrail/brackets versus standing on the floor. By the time I did the 4th one I can't understand how I had so much trouble, lol Thanks again for help, appreciate it!!

@dabrigley 4 года назад

The shades will not 'snap into place." That is a joke. The only reason anyone has for searching for a video on how to install their cordless shade is because they will not snap into place no matter what they do. It is impossible. After destroying more than one shade, ruining the paint job in a room, and suffering untold hours of frustration, I figured out how to install the shades. IGNORE the directions and ignore this video. Install the brackets completely backwards- with the metal piece closest to the room and the front edge of the bracket closest to the window frame. Slide the shade right into place, pinning it between the window frame and the bracket. Voila! I have had my shades up for months like this and it took two seconds to do. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that the shade will snap into place. It won't. Give up on it before you destroy something and lose your mind.

@fixmyblinds 4 года назад

Working with these brackets can be difficult. I'm sorry to hear that you've struggled with them so much and been so frustrated. They fit very tightly, and it is sometimes hard to get them to snap onto the headrail. However, our instructions follow the manufacturer's seen here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z_qM2rwD6Eo.html. It's important to install the shade per the manufacturer's instructions so that it's safe and will operate properly. If you look at this web page, there are several close up shots that show how the bracket is attached to the headrail: www.fixmyblinds.com/cellular-shade-bracket-01.html
