How to Master Shortening Levelor Window Blinds in Just 7 Minutes! [Cordless]

In this video I give detailed directions on how to shorten these cordless window blinds. It can look intimidating at first, but there's nothing to it! All you need are a pair of scissors and a couple of basic hand tools.

Some tools used in this video include:

Cutco Model 77 Scissors:

Precision Long Nose Pliers:

This video is genius! I bought 3 Levalor blinds that needed to be shorted a lot and the instructions that came with them is useless! Matter-of-fact I spent all morning trying to do what they said and broke all three buttons and what a mess! But somehow after hours of struggling and frustration, I salvaged that one. After I watched this video I was able to do the other 2 in about 30 minutes! You need to contact Levalor and offer to sell this video to them!

Thank you ! Your "class" was far more helpful than the instructions provided by the Levelor Company.

Wasted 2 hours yesterday trying to feed those ladder cord ends back into the bottom rail and line them up with the slots in the buttons to hold them tight. Just spent 7 minutes watching you use needle nose pliers and NOT trying to match up the ladder cord ends with the slots in the buttons. You just saved me from seriously considering suicide. I can now go back to my friends' house and shorten the remaining blinds and not look like a complete idiot in the process. Levolor needs to update its "picture" instructions to include those 2 very important install hints. Thanks, buddy!

After I ruined a set of blinds because I watched another video, I found yours and SUCCESSFULLY shortened a set. Thank you!

Thanks, this is perfect! The manufacturer's video instructions would have had me ruining my blinds, terrible instructions. So glad I found yours. Worked perfectly for me and your advise on the length to leave the blinds was perfect.

Such a better method than what was provided in the instructions. Only wish I’d found this video before I started!

[RobertLengacher]

Thanks for your tip to temporarily remove that insert on top of the bottom bar to pull the stings through more easily. A big time saver!

Videos should be made like this, detailed oriented, any lay person can follow it and then act on it.Thanks for making the video i am going to try it next week, have 6 windows to do.

I think you must've been listening in on my conversation with my wife. Bought blinds for the house we're remodeling two days ago and we were trying to figure out how to shorten the blinds... then this video popped up.

Thanks for sharing! I've used a few of your tips recently and it's been a life saver.

This feels like a Tim and Eric segment. Instant sub.

[marisolcamacho]

Omg! Thank you so much… I was going to replace my blinds, it was going to cost me $75 to replace…. I decided to give you a try, and I couldn’t be more grateful…. Thank you now I will just get a perfume…😜

You saved my blinds from the official video’s attempts to blind me with their stringy, curt video that was just too light on the details (puns intended); the difference is night and day. In all seriousness, the Levolor instruction video should DEFINITELY NOT appear first in the search results as it pales in comparison to your clear, concise and handy tips that have all the right strategies and explanations. Thank you!

[johnlowe]

Your instructions were the best of the videos I watched. Clear and concise. Thank you.

[teachandrun]

Much better than the instructions provided! If you follow the instructions, you will break the rim off of the buttons. This video is great!

[juancarlosgonzalez]

Instructions were good to go a little nervous, but got it done thank you !

[anniebmimi]

TY.
I don’t have Lev blinds and so they’re a bit different, yet this video was more helpful than the official Levelor video.

[lisaletto]

Your manner is just calm enough to make watching easier

[jamesbelisle]

I ruined two buttons trying to pry them out…and then I found your video. So much easier. Mine were a tad tight for my arthritic hands, so I supported the underside with a 3/4” socket and tapped it out with a hammer and flat punch. I made sure to avoid the strings inside. Thanks for the great tips!

[brucebubacz]

Thank you. As others have noted your video is so much better than the official Levolor video.

Thank you. Very needed information for many. Keep it up.
