what are these called and where can I buy them?!

[superette]

This is driving me a bit insane. My DS has pull down fabric blinds from IKEA in his room - they are tall windows, so the blinds have a plastic clip at their 'hem' that you use a hook to pull them down with. The clips can easily slide on/off when you are fitting the blinds, if that makes sense.

One of these clips has broken. I've been trying to find a replacement online but can't find anything, and the IKEA website is no use either! Does anyone know what I'm on about? 😖

Can you post a picture?

Can you post a picture

Something like this?

@hugoagogo thank you. I'm not in the house right now but will try to upload later!

@dementedpixie - thank you too. Yes, exactly that sort of thing, although the original clip had a hole within it, so you could easily hook it down.

I just googled the blind on IKEA and then googled schottis clip replacement and got a few hits

Is it part K, the chain tensioner on here?

If you find the original on the IKEA website you can see the manual and then request spare parts.

I have these in my utility - got them from Dunelm

Thank you so very much for searching! Not entirely sure those suggestions would work with the need to hook/pull the blind down from a height though?

Here is picture -

Ah, no the dunelm ones are different to that

Ikea will give you replacements for free (ours broke too)
You just need the name of the blind and they will look up the part number

I am pretty sure those blinds are not in stock any more

So sorry for slow response - a work emergency kicked off. Thanks so much for your help so far. @Digimoor - that is great to know, but annoyingly I have no idea what these blinds were called as we fitted them 4 years ago!

I wonder if there's anyway to find out if they are still around (you are probably right @iloveyoghurt , as I can't see them on the website). That said, I don't need them to be an exact match, I just need them to do the job!

If anyone could recommend something similar, that would be great!

For now why not use a decent bulldog clip?

I tried to buy those blinds( i had them 6 years ago in my previous flat)in ikea last year and couldn't find it anywhere, i had to buy the ones you put up and down with a 'stick' on the side.

@LittleBrownRug - bulldog clip is a good idea!

@iloveyoghurt - thanks but I’m a little confused - these are the ones you pull up and down with a stick?! X

(A hooked stick!)

The new type have a stick attached to the blind/ mechanism on the side ( very annoying and loud to put up and down)
