Replacing the tilter on venetian blinds its very simple and will save you about $80 on average to get it replaced by most suppliers.<\/p>\n

These instructions apply to most styles of venetian blinds in a wider slat, 50mm, 60mm and 63mm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Removing your blind from the window<\/h2>\n

\"timber<\/a>If your blind has a Fascia (Valence) covering the top rail it will need to be removed first to give you access to the brackets.<\/p>\n

Normally Fascias are attached either with Velcro, double sided tape, metal or plastic clips. If attached with Velcro you should be able to pull it out carefully.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"timber<\/a><\/p>\n

You will find the brackets at each end of the blind. On wider blinds you will have centre supports as well but we don\u2019t need to worry about those.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"timber<\/a><\/p>\n

Push the bottom of the bracket upwards and then pull the front out. Repeat with the opposite side.<\/p>\n

Your blind is now free to be removed from the brackets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cords and Tassels<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"timber<\/a>Identify the cords that are connected to the Tilter.<\/p>\n

Those should be single cords attached to a single tassel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the example you can see there are 3 tassels, one of those have 2 cords in a single tassel which is not <\/strong>a tilter control cord.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"timber<\/a>Pull the cord from the bottom of the tassel and undo the knot at the end of the cords.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"timber<\/a><\/h2>\n

Removing the Tilter Controller<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"wooden<\/a>Tilter controller in a normal size blinds will be located at one of the far ends. You can identify it by looking at the shape and you will see some sort of a wheel.<\/p>\n

Alternatively just follow the cords from our previous step which will be connected to the tilter controller<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"wooden<\/a>Most quality wooden blinds come with an end lock at the end of the rail.<\/p>\n

You can slide those off to have more room to work with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"wooden<\/a>Remove from both sides of the rail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"tilter<\/a>Slide off the Tilter controller the aluminium rod.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"view<\/a>To remove the tilter controller you may need to push the rail slightly to the back to release it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A little wiggle will help as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"tilter<\/a>Pull the control off the rail and the cords through the slot.<\/p>\n

Installing your New Tilter Controller<\/h2>\n

\"front<\/a>The base of the tilter should open for easy access to the cords.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"side<\/a>Unwind the cords and pull it through the controller.<\/p>\n

You may notice a knot in the cord, the knot indicates the exact middle of the total cord length<\/p>\n

The cord knot also secures the cord in the winder to prevent from unwinding it when you control the blind.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Installing your New Tilter Controller<\/h2>\n

\"tilter<\/a>Open the base of your new wooden blind winder.<\/p>\n
