How to Adjust Vertical Blind

Shorten Panels

• 1). Determine how much of the blind you need to trim off by measuring form the floor with a tape measure.
  
  
• 2). Remove the panels from the blind. Push up on the end panel and then slide to the side to remove it from the hook.
  
  
• 3). Place a panel from the blinds on a flat surface and mark where it will need to be cut using a tape measure and a pencil.
  
  
• 4). Cut along the mark with a pair of scissors or use a utility knife.
  
  
• 5). Place the cut piece over an uncut blind so that the top ends are even.
  
  
• 6). Make a mark on the uncut blind with a pencil by following the cut made on the top blind.
  
  
• 7). Repeat the previous step and mark all of the remaining panels.
  
  
• 8). Cut along the mark on the remaining panels with the scissors or utility knife to make them all the same length.
  
  
• 9). Replace the panels on the hooks to complete the project.
  
  

Twisted Panel

• 1). Turn the blinds with the handle to open and close the panels to see if the twisted panel will correct itself.
  
  
• 2). Manually adjust the panel by accessing the stem that holds the panel in the railing. Turn it to the left or right so the panel faces the right direction.
  
  
• 3). Open and close the panels to verify that the panel is no longer twisted.
