Roller Blinds Adelaide

Extend the roller blinds fully.

Clean both sides of the blinds by wiping them with a damp cloth or using the vacuum's brush attachment. No need to remove the blinds or use strong cleaning agents.

If the blinds are wet, ensure they dry completely before retracting them. Even vinyl blinds can develop mould and mildew if rolled up while damp, so allow them to air dry thoroughly.

1. Roll the blind up completely by pulling the chain tension device. This action facilitates easier handling and storage once the blind is detached. In case the blinds are malfunctioning and cannot be rolled up, manually rotate the blind spool counterclockwise (when viewed from the right) until it's fully rolled up. The spool refers to the cylindrical bar around which the fabric wraps, akin to the holder for a roll of tape.

2. Unscrew the lower chain safety clip. This clip, situated around ¾ of the way down the blind, serves as the attachment point for the chain pulley on the wall. Insert a screwdriver into the screw head and turn it leftward to loosen and remove the screw. This step can be skipped if your blinds lack a pulley chain.

3. Identify the safety clamp or disc on one side of the roller. Typically, standard roller blinds feature brackets on both ends to secure the roller. One bracket houses a post that supports the roller, while the other holds a safety clamp. You might need a step ladder to access the brackets, starting with the right and then the left side if necessary. If your outside-mounted blinds have bracket covers, pull them towards you to reveal the side with the clamp.

4. Release the clamp on the mounting bracket. Once you've located the bracket with the clamp, shaped like the letter "C," lift it upward. This action allows the spool on that end of the roller to be removed from its slot. In the absence of a clamp, your blinds may feature a serrated disc on one end, usually opposite the chain drive. Rotate this disc upward until you hear a click to disengage the blind from the bracket.

5. Remove the roller from both brackets. Each bracket secures the roller in place with a slot. Start by lifting the side of the roller with the clamp out of its slot, then lift the roller from the opposite side bracket. If one end of the roller is spring-loaded and requires slight inward pressure toward the bracket, remove that end first. Depending on the bracket type, you may need to slightly slide the blind sideways to release it from the brackets.

1. Decide where to place the chain. Assess your space and determine which side of the blind you want the chain to hang on. Most roller blinds allow for changing the chain’s position. For instance, if there’s a chair to the left of the window, you might prefer the chain on the left for easier access.
2. Determine the blind's rolling direction. The blind can roll either under or over the roller. Typically, blinds are positioned to roll under the roller. However, if there are objects protruding from the window, you might choose to roll the blind over the roller to avoid obstructions when pulling it down.
3. Secure the brackets. Use a hand drill to tightly secure the brackets that come with the roller blind, ensuring they are firmly attached to prevent the blind from falling. Follow the instruction manual specific to your Bargains Shutters and Blinds roller blind, as each model may vary slightly.
4. Trim the blind to fit the space. If the blind is too large, remove it from the roller and measure the excess that needs to be cut. Mark a vertical line on the blind’s fabric with a pencil and cut along this line. Reattach the trimmed fabric to the roller. Double-check your measurements before cutting. Ensure the fabric is attached perfectly horizontally to the roller to avoid issues with rolling.
5. Install the blind on the brackets. Fit the blind into the secured brackets, following the specific installation instructions provided with your Bargains Shutters and Blinds roller blind.
6. Attach the chain to the wall. Use the provided screws and a hand drill to secure the chain to the wall. If the chain hangs loosely beside the blind, securing it may not be necessary.

By following these steps, you can ensure a proper installation of your Bargains Shutters and Blinds roller blind.

First, carefully detach the two brackets from the wall to remove the roller blind and hold it in your hands. Ensure the blind is fully rolled up if it is in the down position. Place the blind on a flat surface and gently remove the chain mechanism wheel. You’ll see a screw that needs to be removed with a standard screwdriver to access the inner section of the chain wheel.

After removing the screw, gently pull the cap (it will stay attached) to a position where you can insert the chain. Insert the chain, push the cap back to secure the chain, and reinsert the screw without overtightening. Hold the opposite edge of the wheel while tightening the screw to avoid losing any parts. Now the wheel is fixed with the chain.

Next, reinsert the wheel back into the blind. Before reattaching it to the wall, give a small flick to the other wheel (not the end you screwed) to pop out a necessary pin. Attach the end with the wheel mechanism to the corresponding wall bracket, ensuring the semi-covered part is facing upwards. Finally, secure the remaining end to the wall bracket.

That’s it! You’ve successfully fixed your broken roller blind chain with Bargains Shutters and Blinds in no time.
