How Do You Restring The Curtain Rod?
The type of curtain rod that uses cords is called a traverse curtain rod. This type of rod has a cord mounted to a tension pulley on one side of the draperies. When you pull on the cord, the drapes open and close. The traverse rod has one or two master carriers with arms that travel along the rod inside a track. When the cord is pulled, the master carriers and their pulley system carry the drapes as they move. Restringing the curtain rod is something a homeowner can do. Unhook the drapery pins from the slides and master carriers of the traverse rod. Put your draperies aside. Remove the traverse rod from the brackets, and set the rod face down on the floor or a large table. Locate a rectangular box that rolls in a track, which is the master carrier. If you have two carriers, locate the one with cord knotted at each end of the carrier. Use a Sharpie to label this as master carrier A; label the second master carrier as B. Cut and remove the cords and untie the knots. Traverse rod cording
