How to Set the Limits on a Roller Shade

Video ID: 261002

Introduction

Setting the limits on your roller shade prevents the blind from over-rotating as it will stop the blind at the desired spots. These instructions explain exactly how to set the limits on your roller shade.

Tools Needed

None

Parts Needed

Bead Chain Stop Ball

Step 1 – To set the shade limits with the stop balls, roll the shade up to the desired stopping point.

Step 2 – Hold the chain at the first bead outside of the clutch. Pull the chain down and install the stop ball two beads above the one you’re holding.

Step 3 – Pull the shade down to set the limit for the closed shade. Repeat the same steps as above.

Be sure to leave the shade slightly off the window sill to prevent the fabric from buckling when the shade is fully lowered.

Step 4 – Attach stop ball while the shade is in the down position.

Step 5 – Test your installation.

If the shade does not stop at the desired positions, move the stop balls up or down as needed.
