Blind slats will not lower?
When packaged for shipment, the slats of the blind are fully raised. When you first attempt to lower the slats the cord lock may not release, preventing the slats from lowering. First, mount the blind in the window. Then hold the lift cords level with the head rail and gently pull. This should release the cord lock. If this does not solve the problem, take the blind out of the window. Locate the cord lock mechanism in the head rail (the lift cords run through this). You will see a pin. Using a flat head (be careful to avoid contact with the cording) screwdriver, turn the screwdriver perpendicular to the head rail. Push the pin to disengage the cords. NOTE: As soon as you release the pin, the slats will lower.
