Beware of Sizes

If it suits you, it should be easy to install. I installed it before the driver left. But she kept showing up. My problem is the length of the pin that goes into the blinds. These pins are *slightly* shorter than advertised, and the rounded end is useless as blinds can't reliably utilize that distance. If your blinds have very tight framing tolerances, they may work well. But my blinds have about an eighth of an inch of play inside the frame. About a sixteenth of an inch shorter than advertised plus play your blinds have within the frame plus the rounded end on the end of the pin is how much you should subtract from the overall length of the pin when assessing if they will work. For her. I cut one of the longer, thinner stems from the thin, stiff pins that come with this order and used it to replace one of the short, rounded pins, leaving the seat and spring intact. I was a little proud of myself until I realized I could just fix it with a spring and a click/pull grip knob. Place the spring in the frame and the button or any pin that is small enough to fit in the frame and blinds but large enough to sit completely on top of the spring. For what they are they appear to work perfectly, but given the implications of the incorrect measurements that were included in my application, they are practically useless to me. For these reasons three stars seem justified.

Pros
  • Wide Application: Finished in classic white, these plantation blind pegs match most slate shutter colors and textures, which is very practical.
Cons
  • Difficult to say
