Roller Blind Spring Mechanism Not Working

This is a really common problem and one that is annoying yet relatively easy to fix.

Roller blind spring mechanism not working.

It s time to replace the shade or rebuild it using a roller shade kit. Fixing the blinds can be a more economical than purchase a new unit. Roller blinds function with a roller and spring and after awhile the mechanism can cease to work properly. These blinds come in a variety of materials such as fabric and bamboo.

If the roller s too loose here s how to tighten the spring tension. Remove the roller from the brackets. If the blind is small it can easily become disconnected. If the shade hangs loosely from the roller or unrolls quickly without resistance the spring is too.

Pull down the blind to check the spring action leaving the blind in the mounting brackets. Roller shades operate on a hollow tube like roller with a spring inside. When you pull the shade down it puts more tension on the spring. If the slats are closed in the down position turn the wand counter clockwise and at the.

A guardian tilter continues turning even when the blind is fully closed preventing the mechanism from breaking. To re connect the tilter proceed as follows. How roller shades work roller shades are designed around a hollow tube which the fabric rolls around. When this happens then you might find that the blind material is jagged or has loose thread on one side.

You need to release some of the tension in the spring. Occasionally the spring may uncoil and lose tension so it doesn t work right. My spring operated roller shade goes up too quickly and has too much spring tension. Pull down on the shade and a ratchet in the tube locks them in place.

Can t raise the blinds to fix this problem remove the window shades from the brackets. Blind will not tilt slats will not turn. Inside this tube is a spring you can adjust to create proper tension. With a slight tug at the bottom you can raise or lower the shade with ease.

Watch the videos above or read on to find out how. You can just roll with it though by simply adjusting the spring. If there is still no tension on the roller shade after you try the above steps the internal spring loaded mechanism is broken. Pull the treatment down approximately halfway.
