How To Remove Levolor Style Blinds. Blind Removal Hacks.
What happens here
Before releasing the headrail, raise the blind completely so that the slats are bundled at the top. This prevents the slats from hanging freely and potentially getting tangled or damaged during removal. The presenter demonstrates pulling the lift cord to raise the blind and locking it in place. Then, using either the 5-in-1 tool or a flathead screwdriver, locate the metal clips that secure the headrail to the window frame. Insert the tool behind the clip and apply slight pressure downwards and outwards to rotate the clip and release the headrail. There are typically two clips, one on each side, that need to be released.
Goal: Unlatch the blind headrail from its mounting brackets
