Why do my HunterDouglas LiteRise Window Blinds not tilt?
If your HunterDouglas Window Blind does not tilt, check that the tilt cords are not tangled or knotted. Also, check that the cords have not become disengaged from the tape rolls and that the tilt rod in the headrail is fully inserted into the tilt gear.
Why are the lift cords stuck on my HunterDouglas LiteRise Window Blinds?
If the lift cords on your HunterDouglas Window Blinds are stuck or jammed, inspect the cords and the moveable pin within the cordlock mechanism inside the headrail. Ensure the cords can move without obstruction. If they're jammed, carefully use a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to adjust the pin and free the cords.
How to fix HunterDouglas SimpleLift Window Blinds when the bottom rail is not level?
If the bottom rail of your HunterDouglas SimpleLift™ blinds is not level or the blind height is incorrect, ensure that the headrail and installation brackets are level and properly aligned. Adjust or shim the brackets as needed to achieve levelness. To level the blind, raise the low side of the bottom rail by turning the skew adjustment feature on the headrail clockwise using a coin or screwdriver while lifting the weight from the bottom rail. Turn the skew adjustment that is on the same side as the low side of the bottom rail. If the blind height is too long, turn all of the skew adjustment features clockwise to raise the entire bottom rail to the desired height while lifting the weight from the bottom rail.
What to do if HunterDouglas LiteRise lift cords are bunching?
If the lift cords are bunching by the safety cord connector on your HunterDouglas Window Blinds, ensure the slats are in the open position. Then, raise and lower the blind to help straighten the lift cords.
Why do my HunterDouglas LiteRise not raise evenly?
If your HunterDouglas Window Blind does not raise or lower evenly, check inside the headrail to ensure no obstructions are preventing the mechanism from turning. Also, verify that the lift cords are not pinched or tangled.
What to do if HunterDouglas SimpleLift blinds make a ratcheting noise?
If your HunterDouglas SimpleLift™ blinds are making a ratcheting noise when you push the center button and raise the bottom rail, make sure you are pushing the center button hard enough. It needs to be fully depressed for the blind to raise or lower correctly.
How to level the bottom rail on HunterDouglas SimpleLift window blinds?
To level the bottom rail or correct the blind height on your SimpleLift HunterDouglas window blinds, first check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned; adjust or shim the brackets if necessary. To level the blind, raise the low side of the bottom rail by turning the skew adjustment feature on the headrail clockwise with a coin or screwdriver while lifting the weight from the bottom rail. Note: Turn the skew adjustment on the same side as the low side of the bottom rail. If the blind height is too long, turn all of the skew adjustment features clockwise to raise the entire bottom rail to the desired height while lifting the weight from the bottom rail.
What to do if the slat pack of my HunterDouglas Window Blind is shifted?
If, when hanging, the slat pack of your HunterDouglas Window Blind appears to be shifted toward the cordlock side of the unit (particularly in an inside mount installation), slide the headrail in the end brackets in the opposite direction of the skew and adjust the tabs in the end brackets to maintain the position of the unit. This will center the slat pack in the window.
What to do if my UltraGlide HunterDouglas Window Blind lowering mechanism engages but the blind does not lower?
If the lowering mechanism of your UltraGlide HunterDouglas Window Blind engages and “clicks” but the blind does not lower, the UltraGlide mechanism might be caught between the raising and lowering functions. Simply pull the wand or cord vertically to slightly raise and reset the blind. Then, lower as usual.
What to do if my HunterDouglas SimpleLift™ Window Blinds slats are not stacking evenly?
If the slats of your SimpleLift™ HunterDouglas Window Blinds are not stacking evenly and are falling over the bottom rail, it means that the blind was raised too quickly. Gently raise the bottom rail to give the lift cords time to retract, and the slats should then stack evenly on the bottom rail.
