The trick is getting the gear that is holding the strings in place to let up. Generally you can pull straight down on the cord and while pulling down, gradually pull cord toward center of blinds. If this does not work try turning the gears using the wand (change the angle of the blades is the x direction). This should release some of the tension on the mini blinds and get them to close(y direction). If this doesn't work try using something small to manually manipulate the gear (gently) to one side. I do stress that if you have the blades turned all the way in the x axis then they will not move.

With the low cost of mini-blinds it is easier to replace them. If you are talking about more expensive items i.e. Vertical blinds, wooden louvered blinds etc. Then remove the blinds from the wall and lay them flat and spread out on the floor. If the cord is still attached but severed at some point you can find the same size cord and attach the new piece to one of the ends of the old cord and "snake" it through until the old cord is completely replaced. I have fixed several vertical blind in this manner but I feel that it maybe a difficult and tedious job for mini-blinds. Good Luck!

Choosing Cordless Blinds?

If you have pets or children, cordless blinds are likely the best choice for adding privacy and blocking light from the windows in your home. The long cords on regular blinds attract the attention of young children and cats looking for a toy. These cords pose a hazard to anyone who becomes tangled up in them, possibly cutting off the circulation or breathing of a young child. Cordless blinds don't have any long cords to keep up with. Consider how often you open and close your blinds when choosing a set without cords. Some models feature a set of controls on the mounting bar of the blinds. You'll need to reach up to the top of the bar to adjust the tilt or coverage of the slats. This becomes tedious if you want to open and close them multiple times each day. Pick a model with a remote for easier access.

Which is better - roman blinds or venetian blinds?

Both of them have a different construction. Roman blinds are usually made of fabric and generally preferred in living rooms to add to the decorum of the upholsteries. You can also use roller blinds at home. Venetian blinds have horizontal slats one above the other and tied up with cords which rotates them 180 degrees to open and close. These are usually used in offices.
