FAQs

Will this work on wooden blinds?

No, this kit is specifically designed for 89mm vertical fabric blind slats.

Do I need to remove the whole blind track to fix the hangers?

No, the suitcase-style hangers are designed to be inserted while the blinds are hanging.

How do I know if my blinds are 89mm?

Measure the width of one individual slat across the front from edge to edge. If it measures 89mm or 3.5 inches, this kit is compatible.

Is the beaded chain cut to length?

The kit provides 10 metres in total, allowing you to cut the chain to the exact lengths required for your specific window dimensions.

Can I use these on rental property blinds?

Yes, this is an excellent non-permanent way to restore blinds in rental properties to avoid damage charges.

Troubleshooting

Hanger will not slide into the fabric pocket

Check for loose threads or debris inside the pocket and ensure the hanger is oriented correctly to match the pocket width.

Chain keeps popping out of the weights

Ensure the beads on the chain are fully seated within the weight's retaining clips and check that the chain is not tangled or under too much tension.

Slats are still crooked after installing new weights

Ensure the chain is threaded through every single weight uniformly and check that the headrail carriers are properly spaced.

  • Easy to install with no special tools or mechanical experience required

Cons

  • Only compatible with standard 89mm (3.5 inch) slat widths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your existing blind slats are exactly 89mm (3.5 inches) wide, as this kit will not fit wider or narrower variants.

  1. For Top Hangers: Gently slide the old, broken hanger out of the fabric pocket. Insert the new hanger until it clicks or sits securely within the stitching.
  2. For Bottom Weights: Remove the old weight from the bottom pocket of the slat. Insert the new weight, ensuring it is centered so the slat hangs vertically.
  3. For Chains: Measure the necessary length against your existing chain. Cut the new beaded chain to size and attach it to the bottom weights using the provided links.

Keep your blinds clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth periodically; avoid harsh chemicals on the plastic hardware to prevent brittleness.
