Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top I need some advice about vertical vinyl blinds for a screen door. Right now I'm missing 4 or 5 of the blinds. Should I buy replacements slats or a new set? When you buy them, will you they be cut to size by the store, or is this even an option? Looking for some general advice on how to proceed. Honestly, vertical blind sets are so relatively inexpensive that if you've lost/broken this many slats I would seriously consider replacing the entire vertical blind. There are blind sets available from HIW stores as cheaply as $20. Even if you don't want to actually replace the whole thing, a kit like this is cheap enough to justify cannibalizing it for spare parts, so you could buy a cheap kit with the same color slats as what you already have, and just throw away the rail assembly, keeping the slats in storage for when more slats break (and they will; it's a guarantee).

As far as I have ever been able to tell, replacement vertical blind slats are not sold individually. Being made of vinyl, they have to be stored flat during shipping or else they'll never hang right; this makes packaging, stocking and selling replacement slats a bulkier proposition than you might think. shower glass doors louisville kyThen, they have to keep a selection of popular color schemes in stock long after that color or pattern has been discontinued (a vertical blind set can last years if not abused, but those slats eventually WILL break up at the attachment to the rail, or split along their length when accidentally folded in half). accordion patio doors pricesAll to sell them for maybe a dollar a slat. dummy door knobs for closets

It just isn't worth it to the manufacturer or retailer. As far as cutting to length, the default height for a vertical blind installation is that of the standard doorway, 84" (7 feet). You very rarely see vertical blinds in windows (though it can happen) and so there's less requirement for customization. internal doors for sale glasgowHowever, any HIW should be able to cut vertical blinds to length using much the same equipment they'd use for cutting window blinds (if not the same method). fire safe doors lowesI doubt though that they could customize the width of a blind set; garage door torsion spring repair costunlike horizontal blinds such as for windows, vertical blinds have that bar mounted along the entire rail with bearings on both ends. sliding patio doors seconds

You can't just lop some of that rail off and still expect it to work. Thank you for your interest in this question.

Mike MasnickWed, Sep 26th 2007 1:28am streisand effect, sucks site Lowes Tries To Silence Sucks Site For Complaints About Lowesfrom the did-someone-call-Streisand's-name? We've covered a variety of cases involving so-called "sucks sites," where someone registers as a domain name the name of a company and appends sucks to the end in order to create a complaint site. Companies have often complained that these sites are trademark violations, but that usually doesn't pass the moron in a hurry test.

The latest such case involves home improvement store Lowes. A guy who bought a fence from them was upset that the installers botched the job. and promptly received a cease and desist from the company claiming trademark violation. While early on, a few companies were able to get sucks sites shut down, it's become a lot rarer, as judges tend to recognize that criticism is perfectly legitimate -- and no one is likely to confuse a sucks site as being endorsed by the company. In the meantime, of course, in sending out such a cease and desist, Lowes has just drawn a lot more attention to the fact that they won't take responsibility for the botched fence install. Wouldn't it have just been better for business to fix the damn fence?
