Are you thinking about replacing or upgrading some of your window treatments? Would you consider installing it yourself?

@FredFunderburg4 11 месяцев назад

Directions??? Who needs them is my favorite line. Great tutorial. It certainly helped me install my blinds 👍🏼

@FieldGuidetoDIY 11 месяцев назад

So glad it helped and thank you for catching my dry humor!

@millyalvayero2900 9 месяцев назад

So thankful I found your video , after watching your video it gave me the confidence I needed to know I could do this . Thank you for making it short and easy to follow

@FieldGuidetoDIY 9 месяцев назад

You are so welcome, Milly. I am so glad that it helped. And thanks so much for watching.

Your video is clear and concise, and it shows ample close-up details. Thanks for standing firm in allowing your Ecc 4:9-12 Bible verses to show to our current society who wants to ban all forms of faith!

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment. So glad it helped. I didn’t even notice I had that in the shot when editing (not that I would’ve removed it ;-). Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

@toddknode752 2 года назад

thanks. I followed your instructions and was successful. Only once did I feel like tearing it out and chucking it in the yard.

@FieldGuidetoDIY 2 года назад

I'm glad it helped (I'm also glad your showed restraint). I hope you enjoy your blinds. I'm thinking about doing a video on reducing the clicking Levolor blinds have when you turn the blinds. Thanks so much for watching.

@shaylagortman2322 3 года назад

I want to like a million times! My fingers were bleeding trying to get the valence clips on earlier 😫

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 года назад

Shayla, I know what you mean. The plastic is pretty stiff and not very pliable. I guess that's by design. Stay with it. You'll get it.

@shaylagortman2322 3 года назад

I originally thought you were supposed to hold the clip vertically and get the bottom edge in first, then move it upright to get the top portion in. By watching your video, I see that you're supposed to start horizontally when sliding it in. I got it the first try that way 😁

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 года назад

@@shaylagortman2322 Nicely done. So glad it worked out. Hope there wasn't too much blood on the blinds. Thanks so much for watching.

@KG-oe8oo 2 года назад

Shayla, I agree. I think the instructions should read "Instructions for people who already know how to install them"

@marcster13 Год назад

I put the clips in the groove sideways and turn like a key. Very easy than sliding all the way down the groove.

@tommy--k 2 года назад

You did not show how to shorten the blinds. You’re gonna leave all those slats?

@erikas4891 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. You make it look easy. Would a cheap drill work for this or would you recommend a brushless? The last set of blinds gave me a fit to install and I think it was because of my cheap drill.

@FieldGuidetoDIY 2 года назад

You are quite welcome Erica. A drill with brushes should be just fine. You may want to drill a small pilot hole with a small bit it the wooden window frame is to tough. Sometimes you’ll be dealing with a metal drywall corner to go through which can give you a fight but that is rare. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much for watching!

@vE6263 3 месяца назад

Hi, to drill the pilot holes which drill machine are you using and please let me know what drill bit to buy. Thank you

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 месяца назад

I believe I was using the Hercules from Harbor Freight but now I'm using the Ryobi Cordless geni.us/iy8ht As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. I also on occasion get products sent for me to review and demonstrate.

@lrgou8521 Год назад

Very useful and practical! Thanks

@bruce3579 5 месяцев назад

What about the support bracket?

@FieldGuidetoDIY 5 месяцев назад

The support bracket CAN be installed in the center of the brinds but in our case was not necessary.

@marcster13 Год назад

I installed one of these and it came out like yours. Not happy with the valance sticking out past the wall. The next one I'm going to try with the brackets a little further in so the valence is flush against the wall.

@FieldGuidetoDIY Год назад

I can understand that. Let me know how the next one goes.

@kathyc68 2 года назад

Thank you for this. I’m trying to attach the plastic clips that go on the back of the valance and the instructions do not show doing it the way you were doing it, my hands hurt and I’m frustrated, now I’m going to give it a try the way you did it. In addition, step eight with mine is definitely not that easy. The end pieces do not go in without a light hammer tap, and when I tried to put one on the other end it cracked the base because it just doesn’t fit. 😣😫😖

@KG-oe8oo 2 года назад

Exactly - I want a video of how long it is taking me to put these things up. LOL! I had to come to this video to figure it out. LOL!

@Paula-gf7hi 2 года назад

What would cause mine to not completely close all the way?

@FieldGuidetoDIY 2 года назад

Take the blinds down and see if there is anything in the mechanism like parts or packing cardboard wedged in there. That is the first thing that comes to mind. Keep me posted. Thanks so much for watching.

@SpicedRumFLHXSE 4 месяца назад

Hmm 🤔 no use of drywall’s plugs ???

@FieldGuidetoDIY 4 месяца назад

I was able to go into the window frame.

@lisaw1595 3 года назад

How do you put the blinds up and down???

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 года назад

Lisa W Great question. With the legislation banning cords, it is strictly pulling the the blinds down. The spring tensioner in the mechanism holds them at that height. Then manually raise them to the desired height and again, the mechanism holds them at that height. Thanks for watching. Have you purchased them yet?

@dy586 3 года назад

The instructions told me to cut strings, without cutting these, the blinds would have never lowered down even when I was pulling them down. Worthless instructions... now I can’t even ever lift the blinds up.

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 года назад

@@dy586 Did you cut the strings at the bottom or the top? The adjust the length of the blind (to fit smaller window openings), you cut pop out the caps from blind bottom and cut the strings just past were your bottom blind would be and then rethread the string and return the cap. I should do a video on how to adjust your Levolor blinds. Be watching for that in an upcoming video. Sorry for your experience. Let me know if this helps.

@mikewalters3048 3 года назад

Is there a trick to releasing new Levolor cordless venetian blinds once installed?

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 года назад

Do you not have the clear plastic clip you can pull out? That should release each side.

@mikewalters3048 3 года назад

@@FieldGuidetoDIY Thanks for the reply. I went back to the hardware store where I bought it and ask for information. They said that the blinds should just pull down. So I returned them and apparently they were malfunctioning in that no one in the store could get them down. I was given replacement blinds which are working fine.

@FieldGuidetoDIY 3 года назад

@@mikewalters3048 that is great to hear. I’m glad it was easy as that.

@whocares_bear 2 года назад

Nice. Except my blinds are not inside a window-shaped box in the wall. The windows are flat so it's on top.

@FieldGuidetoDIY 2 года назад

Who cares. Thanks so much for watching and chiming in. I should have also demonstrated the surface mount install. All I can say is you are correct. I am remiss and thanks for the upcoming video content idea! ;-)

@jamesf8783 2 года назад

First bracket i didn't drill pilot holes and found out the hard way why they are important. I had to manually turn the screws. I also put the mount too far forward so the valance sticks out. The stupid cover at the top is more difficult then it needs to be to install. 2:19 ohh so you turn it sideways, thanks! The illustration in the instructions is terrible.

@FieldGuidetoDIY 2 года назад

So glad you found it helpful. This channel is all about supplementing the instructions. Please let me know if you have questions or suggestions. Thanks again.

@weshawkins4178 Год назад

Whoa, slow down on attaching the valance clip. They have an angled face so one way is clearly the right way up... But which way...???

@doreenkidd2172 Год назад

Why are my blinds so tight to open

@FieldGuidetoDIY Год назад

Are they wedged right up against the window frame?

@brianbarone6609 6 месяцев назад

You did not show how to remove the extra blinds. This is the hardest part

@grahamsellers1577 Месяц назад

Levolor blinds have been the biggest pain I have experienced in over a decade. I do not recommend. Their instructions are worthless. If you follow them you will damage the blinds. Three thumbs down.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

@FieldGuidetoDIY Месяц назад

Graham, just to be clear, is that 3 thumbs down for the blinds or for this video? 😉

@grahamsellers1577 Месяц назад

@@FieldGuidetoDIY Yes, You didn’t go into how poorly written the instructions are, the fact that if you follow the instructions that you will damage the blinds, and how to properly shorten the blinds once they have been installed. I eventually found the information online as the instructions were useless but not after I had followed the instructions “to the letter btw” and damaged the first one. I wound up making a specialized tool of my own in order to complete the install without further damage. Nine blinds in all. I will never own another Levolor.

@MrSeebsy 2 года назад

How the F do you pull these blinds down ? Not coming down like you demoed. Arrgghhhhh

@FieldGuidetoDIY 2 года назад

It is crucial to make sure you’ve got all of the packing material out of the mechanism case at the top. It should draw down with only a little resistance. If you are sure then have someone pull down the blinds as you hold the top. See if you can see what is stopping it. I hope this helps. Please let me know.
