manual-window roller shutter can't be opened

Long story short:I closed my manual-window roller shutters just tight enough to not let ANY light come in,I didn't close it very hard or fast tho.
here is a pic (imgur link)shutters stuck,again :( - Imgur

Now I can't open them again.They are just stuck,using the stick to unroll it does nothing.Thanks in advance :)

P.S.:It feels like that the stick isn't strong enough to lift the shutters.I might be wrong,but i'm just geussing

Welcome to the forums!

You might try a thin putty knife [or whatever you have] to gently pry the slats ajar and see if the crank works then. Might have to do both simultaneously.

I can't tell what I'm looking at. I've never seen anything like that and have never heard of a roller shutter. Is this inside or outside?

Hello, Does anyone know where I could find this type of hardware for some curtains I am hanging? I know there are also spring rods I could use, but I am looking for this specific kind of hardware. Thank you for any help you could give me...[ATTACH]73255[/ATTACH][ATTACH]73256[/ATTACH] The attached pictures should be in the portrait layout.

Interior shutter repair - finding parts

H

hpy2cre8 on Dec 11, 2016

I bought a condo that has interior shutters with 4" louvers and some of the shutter tilt bar connectors are broken off. Easy enough to fix if I can find the parts. The connectors are "L" shaped and I have been unable to find any like them online. Hunter Douglas sent me some "T" connectors bit they are way too short. I do not know the shutter brand, they were likely bought in bulk about 11 years ago when the condos were built. I have photos I can post (not sure how to do that). Thanks for any advice, or leads on finding part, you can provide.
