Venetian Blind Tilt Cord Adjustments

Push in the tab on the brackets fastening the blind to the wall, using the tip of a flat head screwdriver to release the blinds. Some brackets do not have a release mechanism, so you can just lift out the blinds.

Look inside the head rail, located at the top of the blinds, and find the long metal rod that runs the width of the blinds. The cord runs alongside the rod.

Push the rod back through the tilt mechanism if the rod was pushed out of place. The tilt mechanism is on the same side of the head rail as the tilt wand and will look like a wheel with a hole on the side. Push the long metal rod into the opening of the tilt mechanism if it is disengaged. When the tilt wand is twisted, it opens and closes the slats. If the rod is moved out of place, the blinds may not tilt or may be difficult to adjust.

Alter the cord length if it is entwined around the rod or is stuck in the head rail. Either cut the cords or retie the length so it will not get caught in the rod.

Hang the blinds back on the wall. Check that the chain is in the open position when the blinds are installed.
