How to Lower Blinds: step-by-step guide

Lowering blinds gives you privacy at night.

  1. Take hold of the lift cord at the side of the blinds.

  2. Pull the cord slightly toward the middle of the window to release the lock.

  3. Let the cord slide slowly through your hand as the blinds come down.

  4. Stop when the blinds reach the window sill.

  5. Twist the wand to close the slats if you want full privacy.

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
