    What would cause the slats on my blinds not to turn?

    Community Answer
    If they are not caught on something on the bottom, it likely is an issue with the top gears.

    The holes in the wall are too big from previous installation. How do you fix that?

    You can fill in the holes with spackle and re-drill, or you could try plastic anchors for your screws.

    What's the best way to hang vertical blind slats when they are too long?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Either hang them higher so they don't touch the ground, or trim the ends (which I don't recommend). The best thing to do would be to just buy blind slats that fit correctly.
