Roller blind fix


We fixed a blind the other day! I always wondered if it was doable like this, and if you are careful, it can be done.

When you squeeze the button, the blind should disengage and be moveable up or down. But sometimes, with old age or abuse, this doesn't happen. The tiny pip of plastic that connects the buttons to the sliders has broken off.

If you very carefully drill a small hole, at a slight angle, you can put a small screw in there (see photos) which remakes the connection.

Ok it's not pretty, but it's cheaper than replacement parts - if you could even find them.
