Thank you. I understand magnets and polarity but had never done this before. Your video confirmed what I needed to do.

The plugs are hard to get out and they’re breaking

Finally! ...the video that took me hours to find that actually worked; and was simple. MUCH thanks. :)

Excellent instructions, thank you

Did as you showed and it worked as expected. My old bracket was the same as in your video, 1984 vintage. Thanks much.

Excellent. So much better than the mfg. 2024

Nice tutorial!

Awesome video. My daughter wanted now blinds and it was a great project for her and I do together. Our blinds hand slightly crooked. I see the clear plastic insert inside each plug that the string attaches to. Our right side is lower and that’s the side that is not attached to the rewind mechanism. I think that’s the side we have bring up via that clear insert

Much appreciated! Perfect instructions!

Had maintenance come out to replace fan, they replaced motor going in wrong direction. Had them back out today and still the same issue. Said to myself, "fine, i'll just do it myself then.." Thanks to this vid, I did. Thanks! Actually just got done cutting excess length off of the shaft too b/c the cover was hitting it causing it to spin slower. smdh.. wrong replacement motor i guess. I made it work.

I don’t think the ladder string should be on the outside edge of weighted bar.

Was difficult viewing because of the brightness of the daylight also hands were getting in the way and action too far away from camera.

no

You got nice arms bro do you hit gym daily??

Thank you!

What brand and how many slats did you remove?

Sorry but I would get an electrician right away.That electrical outlet is a Huge hazard..fire or shock.😊

Thank you for sharing your talents

WOW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS NEEDING GREAT VIDEO.

What was the length of the blind?

Thanks. I could reverse the direction

Well I want to know why it was set to the wrong direction (blow vs exhaust) to begin with? 🤔

I need to learn to do this Why can't the bottom plug be removed and the base plate removed then slide the unused blinds off, etc.....

Excellent advice! I kept stopping the video so I could follow step by step and Bamm! Job done!😊

Perfect! Thank you, exactly what I needed.

Thank you very much for posting this how-to. Helped me big time in shortening my recently purchased Levolor cordless vinyl blinds ("Trim & Go"). The instructions that came with the blinds warned that "These blinds cannot be shortened due to the cordless operating system" which was contrary to their instructions from the exact same style of blinds I bought two years ago that included a direction sheet for how to shorten. Confused, I called Levolor's customer service 800 number and spoke to a rep who said that they did not recommend shortening these style of blinds "but there have been customers who figured out how to do so successfully." It appears that Levolor has chosen to do this owing to complaints from customers who screwed up, thereby rendering their blinds useless. Hence the absence of blind shortening directions with my recent purchase. I had to be extra careful as the hole through which the lift cord travels through each vane is now a very small hole (not the larger oblong hole as in your example) and requires extra diligence in cutting. Thanks for this how-to!

Sucky video

I realize this is way after your posting but this DIY is THE best on how to shorten cordless blinds. Thank you!

Your video gave me an idea but the camera was too far away and you often blocked it :-( Sorry but it really didn't help.

I was struggling on how to do this and your video helped IMMENSELY. I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you

Is there a way to remove slats without cutting them? Is the the string not removable from the bottom piece?

I needed to see this thanks.

Great Instructions. Thank you so much. My tall faucet is in the way big-time. Need a day when I have the energy for this which is almost twice as long as I need it. I could never attempt it without your video. Thanks again!!

I can't take the fan off my Rotom bathroom fan, so I'll have to buy a new motor with fan.

Couldn't you just reverse the polarity by switching the wires around?

EXELLENT! THANK YOU! Dittos to the other affirmative comments!

Why do all the cutting on the centers of the ladders when most of it is going to be cut off anyway?

Good video

thanks for posting this , really helped me out !!!!!!!

Thank you sir! Like the comments said...this solved my conundrum! You are so appreciated sir!

Awful camera angles. He stands in front of the camera so you can’t see 🤦🏻‍♀️ and spends enormous amount of tedious time doing it the wrong way

Trust me, you do not need scissors to remove the vinyl slats they tear at the elongated holes with the ease of tearing a piece of paper. I just did it to 20 unneeded slats. One more thing plan on going 2 slats lower than the top of the window sill and make that lowest slat the lowest remaining one. The reason for this is, you want "friction" where the bottom rail touches the sill when finished. You want the ability to lower the rail past the sill and ease it up into place by having your fingers under the rail while raising it to a point to let's say 1/2" below the sill and just "tuck it in" to the flat sill area. You will not see any front to back sway since the rail is making good contact with the sill. When you pull the blinds to lower them beyond the sill by having extra length, there will be default tension on the rail as you raise the rail and "tuck" it into place and it will not sway front to back. Just adding my 2 cents, the above video is very informative and my above method is based on a mistake I made with my first shortening, and in my case the bottom rail is just "kissing" the sill and front to back sway exists. Had I allowed a slat or 2 extra, all would have been good.

There’s no string in my cordless blinds??

I need this info but for the life of me I cannot see what you are doing. For very little money you can get a camera mount to show your work.

Need more close up. I couldn’t see what you were doing.

I would think that by putting a hole about 1/4" from the end and use a piece of decorative rope (smaller). Once the lower portion of the blinds is tied I would then, put a fabric bow on top of that. Of course, if they are cheap charlie vinyl blinds I would rather keep the vinyl on. Just an idea to keep plastic out of the landfills when the government does not restrict the amount of products being made of plastic.

I had to cut off quite a bit for small windows. I fround bending and snapping at the hole much easier and never come close to cutting the center rope.

Thanks a lot! This was very easy to do and helped save me from having to return a replacement motor I bought that was rotating the wrong way. My fan blades are angled and the vent to the outside in the fan housing has a preferred direction for the air to flow, so reversing the spin was essential to it working correctly. It works perfectly now!

Thank you this post was a God send!

Thanks for this instruction. 😊
