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.
Why won't my HunterDouglas Window Blind fit into the installation brackets?
If your HunterDouglas Window Blind will not fit into the installation brackets, check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Adjust and/or shim to level, if necessary. Be sure the heads of the mounting screws are flush against the installation brackets. Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets.
What to do if my HunterDouglas SimpleLift™ Window Blinds slats are not stacking evenly?

What to do if my HunterDouglas Window Blind does not stay in place as the wand or cord retracts during raising?
If your UltraGlide HunterDouglas Window Blind does not stay in place as the wand or cord retracts during raising, the lowering mechanism has likely been engaged. Make sure you pull down on the pull wand or cord to raise the blind, instead of pulling out or across it.
Why is my UltraGlide HunterDouglas Window Blind hard to raise or lower?
If your UltraGlide HunterDouglas Window Blind is hard to raise: ensure the pull wand or cord is pulled straight down and close to the blind. To lower it: make sure to pull the wand toward the center of the blind at a 45° angle. Also, check that the bottom rail isn't obstructed or held in place by hold-down brackets.
How to install HunterDouglas LiteRise Window Blinds if they don't fit the brackets?

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.
