This short video will show you an easy way to replace the wand tilt mechanism on your Horizontal blind. For replacement tilt mechanisms please visit fixmyblinds.co...
The tools you'll need for this repair are scissors, a tape measure, and pliers.
Remove the blind removed and place it on a flat work surface
Remove the wand from the blind and set it aside.
Measure the height and width of the end of the headrail.
With the pliers, remove the rail stiffeners that are pressed into both ends of the headrail.
Slide the metal tilt rod shaft enough to disengage the tilt mechanism.
Slightly spread the headrail and remove the tilter.
With the tilter removed, you can now identify the size and shape of the tilt rod hole.
Use these 2 parameters to determine which tilter is a proper fit for your blind.
To find the correct tilter, visit our Tilt Mechanism Buying Guide here: fixmyblinds.co.... Find the correct headrail measurement and click on it. Find the correct rod size and shape and click on it. Order your tilter.
Install the new wand tilter by seating the tilter, then sliding the tilt rod through.

Directions on video worked perfectly. Took me 10 minutes from start to finish. Thanks. Sad to think it took me 17 years and 10 minutes to fix this. :)
We bought a blind tilted from here and it worked great! Our blinds are like new and we’re very grateful for it. Thanks for the video and the help!
Thank you! I ordered the parts and fixed 3 blinds that I had put up with the broken turning mechanism for years. Your video made it so simple.
Once again, TH-cam lets me be "the guy!" Ordered the correct ones and I had two shades done in 15 minutes. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Fantastically simple instructions, thank you!
this has to be the most complete guide thank you !
Thank You! You guys are great! Superb Customer Service!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video. Super helpful video with very clear instructions.
Shart and to the point...Perfect Thank You
This was a great video and the buying guide on your website is easy use. I was ready to replace the whole blind!
Thank you so much! Very clear and easy-to-follow instructions!
Your website is so easy to use and find parts. Thanks
God I wish I could've made it to that livestream.
Jay was goin in 'em 😂😂😂
Many thanks, just sorted out mine in one minute (one of the bolt attachments fell off on delivery! : )
Thanks a lot! It's very helpful.
Very well done!
Thx. This is awesome 👌
Thank you!
What do I do if my tilt rod doesnt move? Theres 2 little circles on the rod preventing it from moving past the first vertical holder thing. I cant get the tilt mechanism out :(
Hi Taylor, Some tilt rods do have rivets, washers or pinches/bumps on them that prevent them from moving. The best thing to do is to file that bump away with a metal file. Then you'll be able to move the rod freely and replace the tilt mechanism.
@@fixmyblindsThose stops aren’t necessary? Why are they there to begin with?
Can this piece be bought at home depot or lowes?
Usually, it cannot. You could try calling some blind retailers in your area and see if they sell parts. Or, we carry them on our website at www.fixmyblinds.com.
No.
I had no problem replacing the tilt gear, but my blinds will still easily tilt. It's as if the rod is stuck and not able to rotate. I have been troubleshooting for a long time and can't figure out what is restricting the rotation of the rod. Any ideas? I know it's not hitting the stiffeners and it doesn't seem like the string is caught or tangled?
*Will still NOT easily tilt
Does your blind have a valance on it? Maybe one of the valance clips is in the way of one of the drums. Or, maybe a string is tangled inside the top of the blind? How wide are these blinds?
FixMyBlinds thanks for responding. No valance.. they looks just like the blinds in this video. They are 2" blinds and 6 feet wide. I can't find any tangles but when I try to turn the drums by hand they don't move easily at all. I will have to look closer maybe.
Can't get the old tilt mechanism out
Hi Joletta, We're happy to help you with this! If you can email us a few pictures of your tilt mechanism and what the inside of your blind looks like, we'll be able to provide some guidance. Please email us at service@fixmyblinds.com.
Video directions make it sound easy, However when you go to this company's website it does not match the video for instructions.. If it did it would be easy!
It's true that our website has been updated since this video was made, and it looks different now. The instructions for measuring the headrail and the size and shape of the tilt rod are the same. If you need any additional help finding the right replacement part, please let me know. We're here to help! Here's a link to the instructions on our website: fixmyblinds.com/collections/tilt-mechanism-buying-guide.
Where to buy that tilt rod? Can't find it anywhere in the universe.
Hi there, I honestly don't know any place where you can purchase just a tilt rod.
Hi do you have any tips on how to shorten the width of a horizontal blind a good 20" or so?...Thanks!
Dee - If you need the width shortened, I'd recommend having the blinds professional cut to size. There's no really good way for most folks to do that with tools in their garages.
FixMyBlinds Thanks I was gonna try it myself but I'll just leave it to a professional!
I have a rod that doesn't slide put all the way. it seems as if it has something in place to avoid the rod sliding. Any idea how to remove a tilt rod that's secuere? anyone? :-)
+Cleva Cali If a rivet or crimp is on the tilt rod between the tilt mechanism and cradle you need to pull the tilt rod up out of the cradles so you can slide the tilt mechanism freely. If a rivet or crimp in the tilt rod between the tilt mechanism and end stiffener you need to slide the tilt rod out of all the components in the headrail. Here is a diagram to reference: www.fixmyblinds.com/identify-your-part/wood-faux-wood-venetian-blind-diagram.html. If you have any other questions please contact us at service@fixmyblinds.com.
@@fixmyblinds thank you!
a $9 part costs $22 shipping... Hmm.. no thanks!!
Our standard shipping starts at $6.99. The price for shipping when a new wand is purchased an be a little surprising, however. Are you purchasing a wand? If you were just purchasing a new tilt mechanism, the shipping would be $6.99.
You saved the day!!
