What Parts Do I Need to Repair a Venetian Blind?

Most Venetian blinds can be repaired without replacing the complete blind. The part you need depends on whether the problem affects the lifting system, tilt mechanism, operating cords or brackets, and whether you have an aluminium or wooden Venetian blind.

Common replacement Venetian blind parts include cord locks, tilt mechanisms, lift cord, ladder cord, operating cord, brackets and other fittings. Replacement parts vary between blind systems and sizes, so it is important to identify the type of blind and existing component before ordering.
