How to Remove Blinds | Levolor Mark 1 

I spent THREE YEARS watching many videos to find which one would work with the blinds I had when I bought my current house and none of them worked, and I already gave up. Somehow today I came through this video and thought "hey, these blinds looks exactly like the ones I had" and I removed them in 15 seconds! THANK YOU! Now I can buy something modern

Absolute hero here, keeping everyone's blood pressure low while offering a super helpful, concise tutorial! Thanks!

I watched your video and used your trick of depressing where the hardware is and twisting downward to remove my blind. I had it down in 2 minutes. That’s the fastest and most accurate DIY video I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much!!

You're a lifesaver! I had a friend work with me with me on one one end my friend on the other. It worked! The blind that has been stuck for 2 years finally was removed! Thank you very much!!

Thank you so much! You are the only one who showed me how to remove my blinds after searching and trying for an hour! With your guidance, it took 5 seconds 😉

Thank you! I’ve never removed blinds before and was clueless. This was helpful!

This video helped me so much, was really frustrating trying to remove my blinds. Now I know how!! Thank you!

Thank goodness for RU-vid and you! I've been puzzling over how to remove these blinds for 15 minutes. 😂 Update: I still had trouble and waited for my husband to get home. I told him what I had found and he didn't believe me. Took the first down by unscrewing everything. Convinced him to try it this way and he said, "why didn't you tell me that before?" 😂

I was ready to rip these things off the wall!!! Thanks so much, saved me a couple hundred dollars here! They were still a bear to get off but your closeup of the bracket really helped!

Thank you, thank you! I couldn't figure out how to removed the blinds and you made it possible.

Thanks. Clearly explained. Even with this clear explanation I found it hard to actually remove the blinds. I didn't like this clipping system when I installed the blinds and I like like it even less now.

Yours a lifesaver, dude. You have no idea how much aggravation you saved me. Thank you.

Thanks so much! At first it was daunting, but then I watched the video a couple of times and tried it one step at a time and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

Helped me out big time. I thought for sure I was gonna end up ripping down the whole assembly in a raging fit and I'm somewhat mechanically inclined. Lol. Thank you!!!

Oh my Lord!!! You are the best! I was going crazy in here, not knowing what to do! Thank you so much for your awesome tips! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

So Dr Levolor!!! That was incredible and you have no idea how long we have tried to figure these babies out! They are great braces but the engineering on them is not “user friendly.” It wasn’t until we were washing them (for the first time in nearly 10 years, that my wife noticed an iconic instruction...and the type of the blind Mark I that we were able to find you video. You have no idea how overjoyed we were to get this off of the track. We had 4 of them on one longer window treatment. So we had to press HARD backward ...in tandem...my wife on 2 and me on 2. But we had to do them TOGETHER! Those little springs were crafted by elves (I am sure). Well, all of that just to say thank you for the demonstration. Within minutes the blinds were down and on their way to the shower to get washed! LOL ...really

Thank you for this video, I had no clue what to do, just as you said, there is nothing in sight to take it off, you just made my diy simple, thanks buddy.

Thanks! I was ready to rip it out of the wall, glad I came across this video.

TY for the simplicity of your videos. I know how to take my blinds down to clean them.

Thank you! Your video today helped me to uninstall my old blinds & place in the new ones!

This is so funny to me how simple u made this look while also showing it's tricky and therefore realistic for a second but still took under like a minute and that's impressive. The one I have I got the first one off easily enough and couldn't for the life of me get the other side and just kind of had enough so I shook it back and forth and it slid out 😂 I was like oh what the hell that's how u do that?? So now I get to try this method (this vid) with the older ones 🤞🤞

Thank you so much, I needed to remove my blinds for new window installation and had no idea how to achieve it. It worked like a charm.

Love the way you explain. Small small tasks where we need help. Thx

Thank you! This helped me with my blinds all the way here in August 2020.

Scott coming in clutch, ive been tryna figure this shit out for 20 minutes 🤣

I LOVE RU-vid!! Thank you! This solved my problem! Thank you so very much! It was so easy, good thing I had not yet completely destroyed my shade with a screwdriver.

Thank you. I have a hew broken blinds so I'm about to replace them, so this is extremely useful!

Thank you so much!! I had worked and worked at this and it was so easy once I watched you!! God bless for your help!

ugh thank u easiest 5 mins of my life, if u have a bigger window there might be three clips, mine had three and i was so confused why it wasnt coming down 😭

I almost demage it to take it off! Thank you so much!

Thank you. You are great ❤Saved me sooo much time and stress.

Wow magic happens I don't need the crow bar. You are my hero. thank you thank you thank you

Thanks very much. This video really help me. I have been trying to remove my window blind for so long on till I found this video. It’s really helpful to me.

Thanks, man! I've never seen blinds like that. After your video, they were out in 2 minutes.

I had four brackets for my blinds, but one of them engaged wrong during installation. The instructions also had me install the brackets right up against the back of the window, giving much less leeway. Getting it sorted without three friends to press on all the brackets at once was a nightmare. Eventually got it in but I'm not sure if the blinds are ever coming out without also tearing the wall down haha.

A huge thank you from Auckland, New Zealand. You da best....

Thankyou!!!!! Super helpful and straight to the point . Have a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Even after showing to my husband he still tried for an hour to get it off cuz he was positive he knew a “better” way smh 😂🤣

Thank you!! I've been cursing for quite some time before finding your video!!

Thank you!! I didn't know where to begin as I've never had a reason to remove blinds before haha! Very helpful thank you!

So useful the information !! Thank U so much, you save me, I was so close to broke my blind if I wasn't viewed this video 😓😅

Hey Brother thanks for your video as I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get these things off, you rock!

I can't concentrate this man is too handsome

you are the hero of today. thank you!!!!

Thank you, this video was extremely helpful.

Thank you very much. I was getting ready to rip out half the drywall to get it out!

I'm really hoping this is the same as the blinds set I have. My cat destroyed one of them and I need to replace it. The Levolor Mark 1 looks identical to mine. Will update when I find out. Thanks!

thanks for uploading this, just had to take the ones down in the kitchen and was pulling my hair out, similar blinds to these but was hoping a similar process which it was, would have ripped the bloody things off if I had not seen this, thankyou

Such a tight fit I could not see how to go about it. Thank you! 😂

I appreciate you!! Thank you for your help 👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for the video have a wonderful rest of 2020 & start to 2021!

Thank you! This was a great help.

I have the old levolors that have the little "teeth" ... and that was a rotate and snap. I can't wait to get the new $220. Mark 1 that's 69" across and attempt to "just simply" push in the spring. :-) I guess I'll be changing out the brackets too.

Push in 1st !! What I needed ...cheers.😁

Please add your Cash app in the description box. Thank you so much for the video . Helped me big time!

Thank you very much! A lifesaver

My father always said, "If you don't know what you are doing ask somebody who does." He was right. Thanks.

thanks ! you saved the day!

Thank you, exactly what I needed!

Thanks for the tip!

Omg thank you so much. Great tutorial!!

Very helpful! Thank you !!!!!

Great video! I removed my old blinds according to your instructions! But what do you call the matching blinds of this type of mount? Thank you!

You are a life saver!

Thanks man. The instructions sure didn’t state that.

Thank You !!! Easy Peasy!

Thanks short and simple

Thank you so much. I was about to rip these blinds off lol.

Thank you for this!

true hero!! Thank you!

thank you. Very helpful

It worked! Why did it take me 15 years to take those horrid blinds off?

enjoy the video and your shirt!

Thank u this was very helpful

Thank You so much

I have old Kirsch venetian blinds that are now failing. I'm going to guess that they are mounted in the same way as are the Levolors. I emailed Kirsch from their website and they referred me to Levolor customer service which was a dead end. I'll try this method when it is earlier in the day so if it does not work and I break something, I'll have time to go to the hardware store and hopefully fix things.

Thank you..you help me

Very nice! Thank you

Life saver!

Helpful, thanks!

Life saver

Obrigada! Ajudou muito o seu vídeo 😊 Your video was very helpful!

uhhgggg this was really helpful but I always seem to only release 1 (did this 2 times but same each time) and it is an absolute nightmare to get the other off. (havent successfully done the 2nd) any troubleshooting ideas?

Hilarious how im trying to fix my blinds on my on-campus UIUC apartment and I have none other than a UIUC alum teaching me xD thank you

That was AWESOME!

Mine are stuck! I think they were installed incorrectly

Thank you!

Very helpful

Don’t work. :(

my blinds have 3 brackets the one in the middle is stuck ! i don’t know what to do

Many thanks

Thank You!!!

The blinds in my house don't seem to have these 'latches' to push against. They are about 30 years old, so is there an older method for removing the blinds?

No matter how much I press back there is no release on the blind holder, can't rock it back at all. Stuck?

Ty very good video :)

I keep pressing the metal clips up, but they will not budge. What am I doing wrong? I have the vertices slats, buts it’s the same set up

Do you like these blinds? I'm thinking about getting Mark 1's also.

Thank you very much! Such an amazing video! Very easy! 👌👍😊

Good job

Hi, I have these blinds but when I try to pull them up by using the strings on the right side, there's a lot of resistance. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!
