In this JELD-WEN Customer Care video, you’ll learn how to reconnect the operator magnet for a sliding patio door with blinds…
[ad_1]
Mini blinds are a popular choice for sliding patio doors as they provide privacy and control over the amount of light coming in. However, over time, the magnets that hold the blind in place can come loose or break. If you’re facing this issue, here’s how you can easily reconnect the mini blind magnet.
Instructions:
- Start by removing the blind from the door. Carefully take the blind down from the brackets and set it aside.
- Inspect the magnet and the metal plate on the door. Ensure that both are clean and free from any debris or dirt.
- Apply a small amount of adhesive or glue to the back of the magnet. Make sure not to use too much, as it can cause the magnet to stick too strongly and become difficult to adjust.
- Press the magnet firmly against the metal plate on the door. Hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to set.
- Once the adhesive has dried, reattach the blind to the brackets on the door. Ensure that it is securely in place and that the magnet is aligned correctly with the metal plate.
- Test the blind by sliding it back and forth to ensure that it stays in place and functions properly.
Conclusion:
Repairing the mini blind magnet for a sliding patio door is a simple task that can be done with just a few steps. By reconnecting the magnet properly, you can continue to enjoy the functionality and privacy that mini blinds provide.
FAQs:
1. Can I use any type of adhesive to reconnect the magnet?
It is recommended to use an adhesive that is strong enough to hold the magnet in place but also allows for some adjustability. A small amount of super glue or adhesive specifically designed for magnets should work well.
2. What if the magnet is broken?
If the magnet is broken or damaged, it will need to be replaced. Look for a replacement magnet of similar size and strength and follow the same steps to reconnect it.
3. Should I clean the magnet and metal plate before reattaching?
Yes, it is important to clean both the magnet and the metal plate before reattaching. This will ensure a strong bond and prevent any debris from interfering with the magnet’s functionality.

Worked. Thank you.
Fantastic! It worked just like you showed in the video. I was gearing up to call Jeld-Wen, find my original paperwork, and pursue warranty coverage. What a relief. Thank you so much for making this video available!!!
It worked.. thank you for your expertise.
Oh my goodness, my wife was frustrated because there was a disconnect of the operator magnet, and was getting ready to go out and buy another door. I followed the procedure and it worked!! You saved me a lot of money my friend! Thank you very much!!
How about if one side is cockeyed? How can you fix it? Thank you
Thank you so much, this fixed it, I thought we were out of luck on our fairly new door!
There appear to be ten million videos regarding reattaching to the magnets (i.e. the literally easiest “fix”) and ZERO videos to address the issue of CONSTANT DISENGAGEMENT when there is something fundamentally wrong. THANKS FOR NOTHING.
Brilliant.
My operator is still engaged and the blinds are partially working (up and down), but they won't tilt. I'm having trouble snapping the operator out of the track. (Not sure I should since it partially works.) Will recoupling the magnet, fix the tilt issue? Thanks
This was great!! I thought my blinds were broken!! I just used the tip and it’s back to normal!! Thank you!!
how do you fix the magnetic catch for the opening and closing the blinds for dimming light, not the rasing of the blind..?
Yes, this reconnects, but what do you do if it constantly disconnects when it comes to raising the blinds? more than 2 of our double doors have this issue. You can reconnect the magnet, only to have it disconnect when trying to raise the blinds. HELP!
Well this was a life saver!
