Are these blinds cordless? Thank you.
Asked by Sharon ·
Thank you so much for your interest! No, these blinds are not cordless. Instead, they are routeless. This means that they don't have route holes (with normal blinds the lift cords will run through route holes in the slats). Instead the lift cords run down the side of the slats with the ladders that hold the slats. Eliminating the route holes minimizes light and gives more privacy. There are 2 cordless aluminum blinds on our website: SafeLock Cordless 1" Aluminum and Cordless Aluminum. These 2 products will have route holes.

Can blinds be returned if there's a problem with them??
Asked by Deborah B ·
Thank you so much for your interest! If there is a manufacturing defect with the blinds, we will send you a new blind in most cases. After 1 year, some factories may want to do a repair (very rare). If you make a mistake on your measurements we cover it under our Fit or Free Guarantee (we pay for the new blinds, you pay shipping, usually $15 per blind up to 5 blinds, plus any price difference between the original and replacement blinds). If you don't like your blinds after purchase we can give you a refund up to $500 under our Satisfaction Guarantee. Please go to our policy page to see all the details of our guarantees.

Are any of the colors listed room darkening?
Asked by MARGARET C ·
Thank you so much for your interest! In general, the darker the color the more light it blocks. However, horizontal blinds are not usually used when you want room darkening. There is residual light that comes through the slats, even when completely closed. The privacy aluminum blinds eliminate a little more light than the others because there are no route holes (when the lift cords go through the slats). Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to discuss other products that might work better.

Can I see a preview of what the blinds will look like?
Asked by Robin ·
Thank you so much for your interest! There are four photos on the product page that should show you what they look like. The only difference might be the color. You can get free samples of the slats to choose the color you want. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you need more help.

Are these rugged enough to be installed in a garage?
Asked by Valerie ·
Thank you for your interest! The 1" Aluminum can be installed in a garage as long as they are not exposed to outside elements (wind, rain, etc.).

Can you secure the bottom of the blind so when mounted on a door it doesn't bang?
Asked by Dori ·
Thank you so much for your order! Yes, you can get hold downs that will hold the bottom of the blind. I want to make sure you know that the slats in a privacy blind will move around when they are tilted or lifted. You would need to straighten them. This movement will also happen when the door is open or closed. You might want to consider one of the other aluminum blinds for a door. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more information.
