Why is my HunterDouglas Duette shade hard to raise or lower?
- J
  Jared WangAug 27, 2025
  If your HunterDouglas Indoor Furnishing shade is difficult to raise or lower, or doesn't move at all, here's what you can check: * Ensure the headrail and installation brackets are level and properly aligned in the window. The window itself might not be perfectly square, so measure the diagonals to check. If the headrail isn't level, use shims to adjust the installation brackets. * Inspect the lift cords or pull cords to ensure they aren't pinched or tangled. * Verify that the shade fabric isn't caught between the installation bracket and the headrail. * If you're using hold-down brackets, be sure they're released before you try to operate the shade.

  If your HunterDouglas Indoor Furnishing shade won't lower when you pull the cord, check if the locking mechanism in the cordlock is released. To release it, pull the cord toward the center of the shade at approximately a 45° angle, and then release the cord to lower the shade.

Also, verify that the headrail and brackets are level and aligned within the window; use shims to level the headrail if needed. Finally, if hold-down brackets are in use, ensure they are released before operating the shade.

Why HunterDouglas Duette Indoor Furnishing shade raises or lowers unevenly?
- M
  Mrs. Kim DukeAug 29, 2025
  If your HunterDouglas Indoor Furnishing shade raises or lowers unevenly, or the bottom rail is uneven when fully raised, start by checking that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned, using shims if necessary. Also, check for any obstructions in the shade's path that may cause misalignment when lowering. Try lowering the shade completely and then raising it to allow it to self-correct. If the issue persists, you may need to adjust the shade.

  To adjust the bottom rail level or shade height of your HunterDouglas Indoor Furnishing, adjust the cord on the underside of the bottom rail. Locate the ferrule in the pocket in the bottom rail, then remove it by pulling on the excess cord. To shorten the cord, hold it tight under the ferrule and slide the ferrule up toward the pocket. To lengthen the cord, hold the cord tight between the pocket and the ferrule, then slide the ferrule away from the pocket. Replace the ferrule fully back into the pocket after adjusting. Secure any extra cord length to the bottom rail.
