Introduction

A broken vertical blind can be annoying and constantly fall down after you keep putting it up. Use this guide to fix the broken slat and not have to pick your blind up from the ground again.

Blinds on sliding doors can often be weak and easily broken. They hang vertically and can be easily broken when moving them side to side too quickly while not being careful.

Before using this guide, be sure that your blinds are broken at the end of the hanging slat and do not need to be fully replaced with a whole new set of blinds. Be sure to test that the blinds are able to move side to side and that the piece holding the hanging slats at the top isn’t broken itself.

In steps 1 and 6 of this guide, it requires you to remove or put back the hanging slat into the holding piece of your blinds. Carefully follow the directions to ensure you don’t further break your blinds.
