Perfect fit blinds not fully closing towards bottom

bettz1 · 13 May 2020

Thought I'd post this to see if anyone can help.

Hilarys have been useless

Our perfect fit blinds on our patio doors aren't fully closing when we use the tilt rod the top half is fine but towards the bottom they don't seem to fully tilt downwards, and they still let light in during the day at night if you stand outside the top half is closed but the bottom you can see in.

Could this be the tension needs adjusting?

Are they the same as vertical blinds whereby if you turn the blinds through 180degrees & keep turning them until the ratchet clicks then they all line up properly.

When tilted downwards , brush you hand gently over them in a downward motion, do they then drop in position?

Here's some pics.

You can see in the 2nd pic the tops closed but the bottom isnt fully

If I turn the tilt rod it gets to a point where the tops closed then it springs back

Looks like blind operates normally, Venetian blinds cannot shut tight at bottom .

These def aren't right there shut towards the top but as you get past halfway it's like the tension is lost and the bottom half is opening.

This is our friend's which stays shut
