The bottom of my cellular shade does not hang evenly.
If you have a standard cord lift, this usually happens when the lift cords are uneven. To fix this, make sure the 2 (or more) lift cords all have the same tension, and are all at the same level.
For continuous cord loop, make sure the "c" clips are even to each other. You will see these attached to a long rod that runs from one end of the head rail to the other.
The cord loop on my cellular shades is frayed.
First, remove the control end cap by lifting the tab on the top of the headrail that locks the cap into place. The cap should then easily pop off. Remove the frayed cord loop by gently lifting the cord and turning the mechanism Tip: a screwdriver inserted into the center of the mechanism allows for easy rotation.
Start the new cord loop into the pulley by placing the cord into one of the teeth of the gear. Rotate the cord loop into place. Replace the control cap.
My cellular shades are noisy.
Sometimes on larger shades, the piece that keeps the long metal strips from rubbing against the headrail shifts out of position. This piece is a small plastic component that all the spears run through. Simply push this plastic component to the end of the metal spears to eliminate the noise.
My cordlock is innoperable.
