Thanks so much. Just fix a magnet that my kids destroyed

How do you fix the tilt mechanism when it won't tilt the blinds all the way?
So an easy fix, only question I have is how to close the blind?
Thanks! We were preparing to hire someone to fix this problem. Took only a matter of minutes to fix once I watched the video. In fact, it took me longer to walk to the door than it did to fix. Great job!
Thank you so much!!!!! Fixed my door!
This video saved me around $300, thank you!
Thank you so much! It was definitely an easy fix. Five star review for sure!
Hi, I have been raising and lowering the operator to my internal blind without any luck. This morning I put all my weight into it and did hear the double click but it didn't fix the disconnected magnet situation. Any advice, please???
Great video.
Wonder if you know where one can find parts for the magnetic operator in Canada? A metal stick for one side of the plastic wheel within the magnetic operator was missing for my internal blinds. Mine is exactly the same as what you showed in the video. Any information will be appreciated.
