WINDOW draperies that are opened and bankrupt frequently are usually afraid on bisect rods so that they can be calmly adapted by affairs bottomward on the angled ascendancy bond that hangs bottomward at one end of the rod. Occasionally, however, bisect rods will get out of acclimation so that the draperies no best accessible analogously on both sides, or they will not accommodated in the centermost aback absolutely closed. Or the slides may tend to jam aback in the partly accessible or partly bankrupt position so that aperture and closing the draperies becomes difficult or awkward.

Fortunately, best of these problems are almost accessible to correct, involving alone some acclimation of the slides or alteration and untangling of the ascendancy cord. To be able to booty the all-important steps, however, the homeowner charge be analytic accustomed with how a accepted bisect rod operates.
Most are agnate to the one apparent here. They are usually referred to as two-way bisect rods in that they accept two ascendancy slides that cull the draperies accessible or bankrupt - one for anniversary half. Anniversary accelerate moves from the centermost out to accessible the hangings and from the abandon aback against the centermost aback the draperies are to be closed.
The slides are activated by affairs bottomward on the adapted ancillary of the bond loop, which hangs bottomward from one end of the bisect rod. (A one-way rod is advised to cull accoutrement to alone one side, so it will accept alone one slide.)
As can be apparent in the drawing, both slides are controlled by a distinct breadth of bond that is absorbed to the adept accelerate at anniversary of its ends (the ends go through holes in the accelerate and afresh are knotted). The bond goes from the adept accelerate to one end of the bisect rod area it loops over a caster and afresh comes aback through holes in the adjustable accelerate to the added end of the bisect rod. It goes over addition pulley, afresh bottomward into the bend on which you cull aback you appetite to accessible or abutting the curtains. The bond continues up and goes over addition caster at the end of the bisect rod, afresh ends up aback at the adept slide.

This adjustment agency that affairs bottomward on one end of the bend will move the adept accelerate from the centermost out to the end, while affairs bottomward on the added end of the bend will move the accelerate aback into the centermost again.
The added slide, usually referred to as the adjustable slide, moves in the adverse administration at the aforementioned time - and by the aforementioned bulk - because it is absorbed to the aforementioned cord. The bond goes through holes in the accelerate as shown, afresh goes over a baby angle as indicated. Forcing it up bound beneath this angle locks it in abode to accumulate it from slipping. The aftereffect is that as you cull bottomward on the ancillary of the bend to move the adept accelerate out against one end, the adjustable accelerate moves out against the added end at the aforementioned acceleration - bold you alpha with it too in the centermost of the bisect rod.
The draperies are afraid from baby glides that ride on a clue central the bisect rod, but anniversary end of the draperies is absorbed to one of the slides so that as the slides abstracted and cull the bolt sections with them the blow of the glides are pushed forth in advanced of them aback aperture the draperies, or pulled forth abaft them aback closing the hangings.
The best accepted botheration that occurs with bisect rods is aback the draperies don't absolutely accommodated in the centermost afterwards you accept pulled them absolutely closed, or aback one ancillary opens added than the other. This is usually because the bond has slipped off the angle on the adjustable slide, or the bond has slipped and accustomed the accelerate to about-face out of its able position forth the cord. Either way, actuality is how to acclimate the bond and slides:
["776"]
1. Cull the bond to accessible the hangings all the way and to accompany the adept accelerate out as far as it will go against its end.
2. Release the bond from the angle on the adjustable accelerate (unhook it); then, while addition holds the bond beneath astriction (by affairs bottomward on the loop), move the adjustable accelerate as far as it will go against the adverse end of the bisect rod. It will now be the aforementioned ambit from the centermost as the adept accelerate is - alone at the added end.
3. While advancement astriction on the ascendancy bond loop, defended the bond to the adjustable accelerate afresh by hooking it durably beneath the congenital angle on the accelerate (see drawing). Make abiding it is affected snugly up beneath this angle so it will not slip.
The slides should now accommodated in the centermost aback you cull the draperies bankrupt - actually, they should overlap hardly so there won't be a gap area the hangings meet. If they don't abutting fully, alleviate the bond from the angle on the adjustable accelerate while the draperies are closed; then, while addition maintains astriction on the cord, move the adjustable accelerate a little afterpiece to the master. Afresh re-engage the bond on the slide's angle again.

If the bond seems adamantine to cull or tends to stick, it is accessible that it has slipped off one of the pulleys at one end, so analysis this first. Sometimes jamming is acquired by one or added glides accepting jumped the clue on which they ride, or one of these glides has burst off. If so, the damaged glides should be replaced with new ones. This usually agency aperture a baby latch or ''gate'' at one end of the rod so that glides can be slid out and new ones installed.
