How to Fix Between the Glass Blinds

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ม.ค. 2018
  • The built-in blind on our sliding glass door stopped working. Built in blinds are sealed within panes of glass, and when they fail, you need to re-engage the magnetic system that raises and lowers the blinds. Bob shows you how to fix your blinds, without having to break your door or call a repair man.

    I have lived with mine for over a year this way. I thought there was no way this would work for me. My mouth dropped open when this worked exactly as shown! THANK YOU!!!

      Ditto, ours had been broken (would only open/close, but they couldn't be raised) for 1-2 years as well. I feel dumb for not looking here until yesterday! 😳

      I'm with Stacey, I thought this was way too simple and of course, mine wouldn't be this easy to fix, but blim blam! Did what you said and all good! Can't believe I lived with them for a year like that. Thanks so much. Here's one for the power of the TH-cams and the wonderful people that do it just to help others out!

    @darlenetennille4383 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    OH MY GOD! I was thinking this was going to take hours and hours, taking apart the door. Or if that wasn't possible, move the door in question to the back. Either way, I was expecting a day-long project. THREE MINUTES. IT TOOK ONLY THREE MINUTES!!!! I thank you, and my cats (who can now see outside again) think you are the best Hoomin EVER!!!!!

    Thanks for the helpful information. I am at a friends house taking care of her cat while she is stuck in Texas due to this Covid 19 stuff. I went to raise the blind and got it off track. I obviously knew the slide was magnetic. But couldn’t figure out how to fix it. Gotta love TH-cam! This was the first video I watched and it was all I needed to watch. Worked like a charm on the first try!

  • @davidpuffer7661
    @davidpuffer7661 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Fantastic fix, I thought the blinds were controlled by strings and they had broken. Your video let me fix the problem in less than a minute. I did notice that our controller has some resistance which may have caused the initial problem, so I lubricated it with WD40 and figure that by reducing the resistance the cause of the problem may be eliminated. Thanks again!!!!

    Thank you so much. We had to buy a new window to our front door 2 years ago. The twine were broken. Since then we are so careful with opening and closing the blind. Today I came home after work, just wanted to open it, and now the handle just slipped down and did not work anymore. I found your video and I was able to fix it before my husband came home. :) I was so happy, as I felt really bad we have to buy a new one again???? So I just proudly told him I fixed it.
