Are the directions different for top down/bottom up shades?

Hi - thank you so much for this post. I followed it picture by picture and managed to restring my blind which was broken. I had been quoted NZ$150 to have it fixed so though - I may as well try to DIY and see how I went. I was nervous and had to go back and forth a few times with the steps but all in all it took me about an hour to do this job and I am so happy. String cost me NZ$12.99 and there’s plenty more to do another blind! Thank you again.

Tirzah, this is EXACTLY what I needed. My shades were slightly different (ie. the lock mechanism), but this gave me the general idea (and specifics in most areas) that helped me know how to tackle this! :) It wasn’t easy (took me 1.5 hours), but… it’s DONE! Thanks again!! :D Kurt

I’m trying to repair a cordless shade. It uses a spring ( a coil) but I haven’t been able to find a seller of this parts. Any help is welcome.
