How can you adjust rails on your shades? The new Hunter Douglas Duette and Applause shades are very easy to adjust. Watch the video to hear Paul Kempler, the owner of Kempler Design explain how to use the adjustment keys which are included in the packaging of new shades.

Hunter Douglas Adjustment Key

This innovation from Hunter Douglas makes it easier than it used to be to adjust rails on your shades. There are things to consider though. You can over turn the mechanism. If you over-tighten the bottom rail you can raise the shade too much, causing the bottom rail to no longer be in its proper place at the bottom of the window. You can also over-loosen the mechanism causing the cord to be pulled out of it. You DO NOT want this to happen! It can be restrung, but it is a hassle. Is really like this innovation by Hunter Douglas to allow you to adjust rails on their shades.

Here is a teaser. As of July 5th, 2016, Hunter Douglas Duette shades, their premium cellular shade will no longer be available with a standard pull cord. This mimics the standard established by industry innovator Kempler Design in Reno, NV of eliminating pull cords on window coverings wherever possible. The industry is moving toward child safety and Hunter Douglas and Kempler Design are leading the way.
