How to fix Levolor push button blinds? To fix Levolor push button blinds, you need to identify the problem and the type of blind. You also need to follow the instructions and recommendations from the manufacturer. You may need some tools and materials, such as a screwdriver, pliers, scissors, cord loop, or replacement parts. Generally, you can use the following methods to fix your Levolor push button blinds:
- Restart the spring mechanisms.

- Reach out to the manufacturer.
How to restart the spring mechanisms
You may leave your blinds in the same setting for an extended time in specific rooms or at particular times of the year. This may cause the spring mechanisms inside the headrail to lose tension and stop working properly. To fix this problem, you need to restart the spring mechanisms by following these steps:
- Remove your blinds from the window by pushing them backward and rotating them downward from the backside.
- Lay your blinds flat on a clean surface and fully extend them.
- Locate the end caps on each side of the headrail and remove them with a screwdriver or pliers.
- Slide off the top and bottom rails and expose the spring mechanisms inside the headrail.
- Pull down on each spring mechanism until you hear a click sound. This means that the spring is reset and ready to work again.
- Reassemble your blinds by sliding back the top and bottom rails and replacing the end caps.
- Reinstall your blinds on the window by hooking them onto the brackets and pushing them forward until they snap into place.
- Test your blinds by pushing the button on the bottom rail and raising or lowering them.
How to correct uneven shades
Your blinds could occasionally feel a bit unbalanced when you try to lift them. This may happen because of uneven tension on the cords inside the headrail or because of misaligned slats or cells. To fix this problem, you need to correct uneven shades by following these steps:
- Remove your blinds from the window by pushing them backward and rotating them downward from the backside.
- Lay your blinds flat on a clean surface and fully extend them.
- Locate the end caps on each side of the headrail and remove them with a screwdriver or pliers.
- Slide off the top rail and expose the cords inside the headrail.
- Check if any of the cords are twisted, tangled, or loose. If so, untwist, untangle, or tighten them as needed.
- Check if any of the slats or cells are misaligned or out of place. If so, adjust them gently with your fingers until they are straight and even.
- Reassemble your blinds by sliding back the top rail and replacing the end caps.
- Reinstall your blinds on the window by hooking them onto the brackets and pushing them forward until they snap into place.
- Test your blinds by pushing the button on the bottom rail and raising or lowering them.
How to check out the friction clips
Some Levolor push button blinds have friction clips attached to each cord inside the headrail. These clips help control the speed and smoothness of raising or lowering your blinds. However, they may also cause some problems if they are broken, missing, or misplaced. To fix this problem, you need to check out the friction clips by following these steps:
- Remove your blinds from the window by pushing them backward and rotating them downward from the backside.
- Lay your blinds flat on a clean surface and fully extend them.
- Locate the end caps on each side of the headrail and remove them with a screwdriver or pliers.

- Reinstall your blinds on the window by hooking them onto the brackets and pushing them forward until they snap into place.
- Test your blinds by pushing the button on the bottom rail and raising or lowering them.
How to get rid of the steel rods
Some Levolor push button blinds have steel rods inserted into each slat or cell. These rods help keep your blinds rigid and straight. However, they may also cause some problems if they are bent, broken, or protruding. To fix this problem, you need to get rid of the steel rods by following these steps:
- Remove your blinds from the window by pushing them backward and rotating them downward from the backside.
- Lay your blinds flat on a clean surface and fully extend them.
- Locate the end caps on each side of the bottom rail and remove them with a screwdriver or pliers.
- Slide off the bottom rail and expose the steel rods inside each slat or cell.
- Check if any of the steel rods are bent, broken, or protruding. If so, remove them carefully with pliers or scissors. Do not pull too hard or you may damage the fabric.

- Reinstall your blinds on the window by hooking them onto the brackets and pushing them forward until they snap into place.
- Test your blinds by pushing the button on the bottom rail and raising or lowering them.
