Changing Vertical Blinds From Split Opening To Side Opening

Gently push up on the outside edge of the valance if installed until the valance clip clicks free of the vertical blind header.

Changing vertical blinds from split opening to side opening.

Split or side stack vertical blinds. Next remove the headrail and turn it around so the controls are on the opposite side. This will allow the blinds to open on the right side if needed. Split stack vertical blinds open from the center and open to each side leaving a stack of vertical blinds on each side.

Finish by reattaching the vanes. The left stack position has the vane slats stacking on the left. As a result side stack vertical blinds are ideal as they stack to one side. Step 1 pull the blind cord to open the slats on the blinds completely.

I want to use both of them on a large window. The control position of your levolor vertical blind can be changed if it is not a split draw with autowand. Patio and sliding glass doors open to one side only. The task of changing the opening and closing direction of the vanes does not require expensive tools or accessing the internal components of the vertical blind.

If you have a side opening or stacking vertical blind and you want to change the direction of its operation to the center the headrail must be changed. Stack positions are oriented looking at them from the inside where the vertical blind is mounted. You can dismount the vertical blinds and turn them around so you can mount them the other way. But need to be able to change the operating mechanism somehow in order for the blinds to have a side draw.

Side opening and centre opening headrails operate differently. I have two vertical blinds each with a centre draw split. Would like the blinds to be able to stack on that side also. In the event you have furniture or some other obstruction on the right that prevents you from seeing through the window or prevents you from walking through the glass doorway you can change the cord direction of your vertical blinds to have them open and slide to the right.

They will draw to the right where the vanes can be tilted closed. So if your door opens on the right side the door slides open from the right and then goes to the left then opt for left stack vertical blinds and if the door opens on the left side then go for right stack vertical blinds. The split stack position sometimes referred to as center open draws the vanes to the center. You can get your vertical blinds customized to open at the center instead of on the sides.

When you tug on the pull cord of a vertical blind the blinds open by moving to the left. Each blind has both a draw chord and a chain that opens and closes the slats on the same side.
