Hey all.
Over the past year, I’ve had bad luck with standard, non-motorized cordless blinds. I’ve had to replace 4 due to the tension mechanism failing (from what I can tell).
- I’ve tried gently exercising the tension mechanism as suggested frequently online. This does not work.
- I’ve checked for knots and have found none (I typically expect these for corded blinds).
I’ve been purchasing the Home Depot brand. Do I need to go for a more expensive brand? Did I just get a bad lot? Should I go for corded for supposedly easier troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance!
It’s definitely not a quality brand for sure. The blinds themselves are a pretty cheap paper-like material and tear very easily. I would very much appreciate the metal ones instead.
Not sure why, but ordering online is something I hadn’t even considered. Thanks for the suggestion!
