Absolute hero here, keeping everyone's blood pressure low while offering a super helpful, concise tutorial! Thanks!
Thank goodness for CZcams and you! I've been puzzling over how to remove these blinds for 15 minutes. 😂 Update: I still had trouble and waited for my husband to get home. I told him what I had found and he didn't believe me. Took the first down by unscrewing everything. Convinced him to try it this way and he said, "why didn't you tell me that before?" 😂
You're a lifesaver! I had a friend work with me with me on one one end my friend on the other. It worked! The blind that has been stuck for 2 years finally was removed! Thank you very much!!
Thank you so much! You are the only one who showed me how to remove my blinds after searching and trying for an hour! With your guidance, it took 5 seconds 😉
Nice! Happy to help 👍
This video helped me so much, was really frustrating trying to remove my blinds. Now I know how!! Thank you!
Thank you! I’ve never removed blinds before and was clueless. This was helpful!
Great, glad you got some value 👍
I was ready to rip these things off the wall!!! Thanks so much, saved me a couple hundred dollars here! They were still a bear to get off but your closeup of the bracket really helped!
Thanks so much! At first it was daunting, but then I watched the video a couple of times and tried it one step at a time and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
Yours a lifesaver, dude. You have no idea how much aggravation you saved me. Thank you.
Thanks. Clearly explained. Even with this clear explanation I found it hard to actually remove the blinds. I didn't like this clipping system when I installed the blinds and I like like it even less now.
Thank you, thank you! I couldn't figure out how to removed the blinds and you made it possible.
This type can be tricky. Happy to help!
Oh my Lord!!! You are the best! I was going crazy in here, not knowing what to do! Thank you so much for your awesome tips! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Helped me out big time. I thought for sure I was gonna end up ripping down the whole assembly in a raging fit and I'm somewhat mechanically inclined. Lol. Thank you!!!
😂no doubt these blinds are one of the more frustrating I have ran across.
Thank you! Your video today helped me to uninstall my old blinds & place in the new ones!
Love the way you explain.
Small small tasks where we need help.
Thx
TY for the simplicity of your videos. I know how to take my blinds down to clean them.
Thank you for this video, I had no clue what to do, just as you said, there is nothing in sight to take it off, you just made my diy simple, thanks buddy.
Thank you! This helped me with my blinds all the way here in August 2020.
Nice! 🙌
Thanks! I was ready to rip it out of the wall, glad I came across this video.
Thank you. I have a hew broken blinds so I'm about to replace them, so this is extremely useful!
Thanks very much. This video really help me. I have been trying to remove my window blind for so long on till I found this video. It’s really helpful to me.
Scott coming in clutch, ive been tryna figure this shit out for 20 minutes 🤣
I LOVE CZcams!! Thank you! This solved my problem! Thank you so very much! It was so easy, good thing I had not yet completely destroyed my shade with a screwdriver.
Thankyou!!!!! Super helpful and straight to the point . Have a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Thank you so much!! I had worked and worked at this and it was so easy once I watched you!! God bless for your help!
You're welcome!
A huge thank you from Auckland, New Zealand. You da best....
Thank you. You are great ❤Saved me sooo much time and stress.
So Dr Levolor!!! That was incredible and you have no idea how long we have tried to figure these babies out! They are great braces but the engineering on them is not “user friendly.” It wasn’t until we were washing them (for the first time in nearly 10 years, that my wife noticed an iconic instruction...and the type of the blind Mark I that we were able to find you video. You have no idea how overjoyed we were to get this off of the track. We had 4 of them on one longer window treatment. So we had to press HARD backward ...in tandem...my wife on 2 and me on 2. But we had to do them TOGETHER! Those little springs were crafted by elves (I am sure). Well, all of that just to say thank you for the demonstration. Within minutes the blinds were down and on their way to the shower to get washed! LOL ...really
Hahaha, that is too funny as they are tricky. Most people probably believe there is some type of magic holding the blinds up since you nothing which stands out as where to push or pull to get the darn things off. Enjoy the dust free blinds and thanks for the comment. 👍
I have the old levolors that have the little "teeth" ... and that was an easy rotate and snap. I can't wait to get the new $220. Mark 1 that's 69" across and 58" long, and attempt to "just simply" push in the spring. :-) I guess I'll be changing out the brackets too.
ugh thank u easiest 5 mins of my life, if u have a bigger window there might be three clips, mine had three and i was so confused why it wasnt coming down 😭
Thank you so much, I needed to remove my blinds for new window installation and had no idea how to achieve it. It worked like a charm.
Thank you, this video was extremely helpful.
Great! Glad the video helped.
Thanks, man! I've never seen blinds like that. After your video, they were out in 2 minutes.
Wow magic happens
I don't need the crow bar.
You are my hero.
thank you thank you thank you
you are the hero of today. thank you!!!!
Thank you!! I've been cursing for quite some time before finding your video!!
Thank you for the video have a wonderful rest of 2020 & start to 2021!
Hey Jordan, thanks and all the best to you as well.
Thank you!! I didn't know where to begin as I've never had a reason to remove blinds before haha! Very helpful thank you!
Happy to help!
Thank you, exactly what I needed!
Such a tight fit I could not see how to go about it. Thank you! 😂
Push in 1st !! What I needed ...cheers.😁
Omg thank you so much. Great tutorial!!
I had four brackets for my blinds, but one of them engaged wrong during installation. The instructions also had me install the brackets right up against the back of the window, giving much less leeway.
Getting it sorted without three friends to press on all the brackets at once was a nightmare. Eventually got it in but I'm not sure if the blinds are ever coming out without also tearing the wall down haha.
Thank you! This was a great help.
I almost demage it to take it off! Thank you so much!
You bet!
So useful the information !! Thank U so much, you save me, I was so close to broke my blind if I wasn't viewed this video 😓😅
Happy to help!
You are a life saver!
Thank you very much! A lifesaver
Thank you for this!
Even after showing to my husband he still tried for an hour to get it off cuz he was positive he knew a “better” way smh 😂🤣
😂
No man wants his woman showing him another man that knows a better way 😂

Hey Brother thanks for your video as I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get these things off, you rock!
No problem 👍

Thank you very much. I was getting ready to rip out half the drywall to get it out!
😂 no doubt I was the same and once I learned the trick I figured I should make a video as others might have the same issue.
thanks for uploading this, just had to take the ones down in the kitchen and was pulling my hair out, similar blinds to these but was hoping a similar process which it was, would have ripped the bloody things off if I had not seen this, thankyou
Thank You !!! Easy Peasy!
Thanks for the tip!
thank you. Very helpful
Great video! I removed my old blinds according to your instructions! But what do you call the matching blinds of this type of mount? Thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you !!!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much. I was about to rip these blinds off lol.
Thank You!!!
That was AWESOME!
I like your excitement for blind removal 😁
I had no idea how I was going to proceed. Your video was the first to come up an told me in 2 minutes what I needed to do. Seriously Thank You!
@@briankramer5303 glad the video helped. Those blinds can be tricky for sure. Without any visible tabs and/or screws hard to know where to start.
My father always said, "If you don't know what you are doing ask somebody who does." He was right. Thanks.
Thanks short and simple
You're welcome!
true hero!! Thank you!
Not all heroes wear capes 😂
Good job
I'm really hoping this is the same as the blinds set I have. My cat destroyed one of them and I need to replace it. The Levolor Mark 1 looks identical to mine. Will update when I find out. Thanks!
Let me know if you are having trouble. You can always join our Facebook Group "Everyday Home Repairs Community" and post a picture of the blinds if you need more direction. Best of luck!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Hi, I have these blinds but when I try to pull them up by using the strings on the right side, there's a lot of resistance. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!
Thank you
Ty very good video :)
Thank u very much
Life saver
enjoy the video and your shirt!
Thanks
Thank You so much
You bet!
uhhgggg this was really helpful but I always seem to only release 1 (did this 2 times but same each time) and it is an absolute nightmare to get the other off. (havent successfully done the 2nd)
any troubleshooting ideas?
I can't concentrate this man is too handsome
Many thanks
For sure 👍
Thank you..you help me
Happy to help
I have old Kirsch venetian blinds that are now failing. I'm going to guess that they are mounted in the same way as are the Levolors. I emailed Kirsch from their website and they referred me to Levolor customer service which was a dead end. I'll try this method when it is earlier in the day so if it does not work and I break something, I'll have time to go to the hardware store and hopefully fix things.
Hilarious how im trying to fix my blinds on my on-campus UIUC apartment and I have none other than a UIUC alum teaching me xD thank you
Thanks man. The instructions sure didn’t state that.
No problem 👍
Thanks ❤🥰🥰
I hope you like Besos because I'm sending you lots!
The blinds in my house don't seem to have these 'latches' to push against. They are about 30 years old, so is there an older method for removing the blinds?
my blinds have 3 brackets the one in the middle is stuck ! i don’t know what to do
Do you like these blinds? I'm thinking about getting Mark 1's also.
I keep pressing the metal clips up, but they will not budge. What am I doing wrong? I have the vertices slats, buts it’s the same set up
what a guy, was near lifting a hammer to get them off haha
No matter how much I press back there is no release on the blind holder, can't rock it back at all. Stuck?
Guess I should have found this before removing half my blinds 🙄. Luckily, we were going to pitch them anyway. Watched this video before taking down the good ones. Not easy, but no damage either.
It worked! Why did it take me 15 years to take those horrid blinds off?
😂 these are tricky
