    When your vertical shade has 2 sets of holes, both ends of the string end up on the same side (the moving side). When the shade is stacked open, both ends of the string lay under the upper rail, so that as the shade is closed, one end is connected to the upper set of holes while the other end is connected to the lower set of holes. My shades have 4 plastic guides, with a small bar across one side and a small hole. Three of these glides point toward the center of the shade, while the 1st one points up. The shade is strung by starting at the upper moveable rail, coming down the shade to the upper set of holes with the string going under the small bar on the glide, going through the small hole in the glide (the small hole being pushed into the holes of the fabric), going though the set of holes in the fabric through the small hole in the glide and then under the bar in the glide, going down the shade to toward the lower set of holes under the bar and through the hole of the glide, coming back through the lower set of holes to the side that you started on going through the hole and under the bar of the glide, and both ends of the string going back up to the top. One end of the string is anchored to the end plate, the other end of the string loops through the same end plate and is attached to the tension clip. There are 4 end caps that go on the top and the bottom of the vertical rails. One of these clips has a small metal horizontal bar in the middle of it. This is one one that goes on the top of the moving side. The two ends of the string thread through the clip and run over this metal bar.

    Hello, this is great, however, I need other parts fixed on this Decomatic Vertical Blind. Is there a series for all the parts on this headrail? Specifically, the chain does not easily thread the end gear and rotate the vanes. How do I pull that end piece apart to see what's wrong with the gear? Also, it appears there are chain connectors (apparently the chain was broken at some point) and they appear to be close to the gear. How do I avoid that area of the chain going through the gear?

    • @fixmyblinds
      @fixmyblinds Месяц назад

      Hi there, If the chain isn't opening the slats open and closed very well, that indicates that the gear is stripped. To see if we have the replacement gear you need, please email a few pictures to us. Our email address is service@fixmyblinds.com.
