I’ve been living in a brand new apartment complex for six months and even the maintenance man didn’t know how to fix blind issue where was off one gear. Thank you so much. Everything looks aesthetically pleasing now.

I had the first problem with the blind that would not settle with the rest because it was facing the wrong way by 90 degrees. It took a bit of courage to grab the mechanism to twist it back to the same as all the other carriers, but I swallowed hard and twisted. A loud click followed, and the job was done. Many, many thanks for a super video.😀

Awesome. Big thumbs up. I had the one blind that spun loosely. Followed your instructions and IT WORKED! I took an up-close picture of the connection area/plastic hardware so that I could better assess how to reinsert everything. Your instructions were great. I would never have figured out how to do this. Thanks.

This just saved me money!! I just bought new ones and since my door locks in the middle my son broke the gear after only a week of them hanging. This was why I bought new ones😂 thought because of that little piece I was going to again. Thank you thank you so very much!!!

My problem is the swizzle stick doesnt turn, Im going to see if its the gear like on the carrier just popped out. Thanks for showing me how to check for it.

Thank you for clear directions to replace teeth so it turns with the rest of the blind. Saved me major replacement dollars. Blessings!!!
