Venetian Blinds at windows...

[motdaugrnds]

I want to take some plastic-looking venetian blinds down.  I don't want to tear them up in doing so. When I stand in a chair and look at the top where they're connected to the wall, I cannot tell how they are connected to the wall. The corners of each (at the top) are square and, when I feel the top of one, it seems some type of screw may be in it which makes no sense as that screw would not be going into the wall.

There is a long strip of this same material across the top and, when pushed up, the little box on the corner still does not show anything that would be screwed/nailed into the wall. The front of this little box and 3 sides are quite solid except for the spot mentioned above that feels like the head of a screw.

So how do I take these things down without ruining them?  (I've googled yet have not been able to find any information about hanging or taking them down.)

Usually the front of the "little box" comes off or pivots open and the screws are inside going into the window frame.

Most of the time you open those panels and remove the blinds to get to the screws

Also, the blinds will slide out of the box before you have to remove the screws.

Are you saying I don't have to take the little box at each end (at top) off the wall in order to remove the blinds? I can do this without breaking the blinds?

That's correct.  

There should be a way to open the end boxes and take the blinds down and then you will be able to access the screws which hold the brackets in place

I'm pretty sure that there are plenty on on line instructions on installing blinds. Those would show how to "uninstall".

Regular sized horizontal blinds tend to have a cover on the end of the boxes that hold them up on each end, it slides out if you press and push it.

Once the cover is removed, the blinds can just be taken out. Then the boxes are just left which are screwed into the wall/window frame.

Never did find "instructions" on net; however, with your help, I did it! There was a front panel that simply raised as though it were on a hinge; yet it wasn't a hinge but a little thingy that was easy to slip off. Setting that aside, I found a little sliding door on each end box. Removing that was easy. Then there was a little clasp-like thing in the middle; however, the plastic was pliable enough for me to get it off that without damaging it. After this it was a simple matter of pulling the blinds out of the end boxes.

Now all I need do is the same thing with each and every one...quite a few but have to stay indoors in this heat anyway.

Thank you all for helping.

Glad to hear it worked!
