The tools you’ll need for this repair are — a tape measure, Scissors, a flat head screwdriver, and a lighter.
We recommend replacing all of the lift strings at the same time to ensure proper function of the blind.
First, remove the valance and set aside.
To determine the length of each sting needed, measure the length and width of the blind.
Twice the length plus the width is the formula used to ensure proper string length.
Pull the string off the roll like this to prevent twisting.
Cut all the strings you’ll need for this repair now.
If the strings are still intact, this repair can be done without removing the blind, even if they are frayed.
Cut the lift string toward the bottom of the blind.
Fuse the strings by melting the end of the existing string and one of the new strings.
Roll the strings together as shown to weld them together. You might want to wet your fingers to do this as the melted string is hot.
Repeat this process for all the other strings.
Pull the existing lift strings until the new string comes out. Even the strings and cut the old string off.
Remove the bottom button and the remaining old string from the bottom rail.
At any time when working with lift string, using a lighter is a good way to blunt the end of the string to prevent fraying. This technique allows for the string to go through route holes easier.
Insert the new string through the hole and tie a knot big enough to prevent the string from pulling through. If your blind uses a washer, reuse it.
Cut off any excess string, insert the ladder strings and reinsert the button.
Resthread the others the same way.
Test your repair.
With the blind all the way down cut the lift strings to the desired length.
Attach any tassels at this time.
If your strings are completely missing from the blind, blunt your precut strings and rethread them down through the slats as shown.
Weave the strings through the ladder strings, switching sides every 3 slats. This will ensure the blind slats will not shift during operation.
Rethread through the bottom rail and tie off as shown previously.
Remove the blind at this point and place it on a flat work surface.
Thread the strings through the cord guide at the bottom of the headrail — through the cradles and down and out the cord lock.
When threading the cord lock, make sure the strings go between the roller and the latch as shown.
Remount the blind.
Re attach the bottom buttons.
Test you repair.
Cut the lift strings to the desired length, attach the tassel and valance.
