How to Fix a Loose String on Hunter Douglas Blinds

The cords on your Hunter Douglas blinds control the movement of the blind slats to raise or lower the blinds when pulled and can become loose over time and with continuous use. The blinds include a cord stop that attaches to the cords and restricts their movement to ensure a balanced raising or lowering of both sides of the blinds. Once added, the cord stop ensures that the cords do not loosen and prevents tangles that commonly occur with loose cords.
