Cordless blinds are a great choice for your windows. They are easy to operate, safe for kids and pets, and stylish. But if you have just installed them, you may be wondering how to release them for the first time. Don’t worry, we have you covered. In this post, we will show you how to open and close your cordless blinds with ease.

How to release cordless blinds for the first time: To release cordless blinds for the first time, you need to unlock the string lock at the top of the mechanism, pull the string down and to the side until you hear a click, and then lower the blinds by pulling down the bottom rail.

Unlock the string lock

The first step to release your cordless blinds is to unlock the string lock. This is a small device that holds the string in place and prevents the blinds from moving. You can find it at the top of the mechanism, where the string comes out.

To unlock the string lock, you need to open the blinds to the full-open position. This means that all the slats or vanes are aligned horizontally and let in maximum light. To do this, hold down the control button at the bottom of the rail and slowly pull down. As you pull down, you will feel the tension release and the blinds will start to raise.

Once the blinds are fully open, locate the string lock at the top of the mechanism. It should look like a small plastic piece with a hole in it. Loosen the string lock by turning it counterclockwise with your fingers or a screwdriver.

Pull the string down and to the side

The next step is to pull the string down and to the side until you hear a click. This will unlock the blinds and allow them to move freely.

To do this, grab the string near the top of the mechanism and pull it down firmly. Then, pull it to either side (left or right) until you hear a click sound. This indicates that the blinds have been released.

As you pull the string, you will notice that the slats or vanes of the blinds will spread apart. This means that they are ready to be lowered.

Lower the blinds by pulling down the bottom rail

The final step is to lower the blinds by pulling down the bottom rail. This is the same way you would normally operate your cordless blinds.

To do this, grasp the bottom rail with both hands and gently pull it down. You can lower it as much as you want, depending on how much light or privacy you need.

To raise the blinds again, simply lift up the bottom rail until it reaches your desired height.

Third, check if your blinds are swollen or warped due to heat or humidity and try to adjust them by pulling them at a 45-degree angle.

Q: How do I clean my cordless blinds?

A: To clean your cordless blinds, you can use a soft cloth, a feather duster, or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Gently wipe or dust off any dirt or dust from the slats or vanes.
