Changing Vertical Blinds From Side Opening To Split Opening

If you have a side opening or stacking vertical blind and you want to change the direction of its operation to the center the headrail must be changed.

Changing vertical blinds from side opening to split opening.

If you have a hinged door then you need to opt for split stacking vertical blinds. You can get your vertical blinds customized to open at the center instead of on the sides. I have two vertical blinds each with a centre draw split. This will allow the blinds to open on the right side if needed.

They open to each side and leave a stack of vertical blinds on either side of the window or door. Side stack vertical blinds other vertical blinds open from either side and get stacked on one side of the door completely. You can dismount the vertical blinds and turn them around so you can mount them the other way. Step 1 pull the blind cord to open the slats on the blinds completely.

Gently push up on the outside edge of the valance if installed until the valance clip clicks free of the vertical blind header. Each blind has both a draw chord and a chain that opens and closes the slats on the same side. I want to use both of them on a large window. Would like the blinds to be able to stack on that side also.

To change the control from one side to the other first remove all vanes if already attached. The split stack position sometimes referred to as center open draws the vanes to the center. The control position of your levolor vertical blind can be changed if it is not a split draw with autowand. The task of changing the opening and closing direction of the vanes does not require expensive tools or accessing the internal components of the vertical blind.

Next remove the headrail and turn it around so the controls are on the opposite side. Finish by reattaching the vanes. They will draw to the right where the vanes can be tilted closed. The left stack position has the vane slats stacking on the left.
