How to connect three different blinds so they are all operated by the same chain mechanism?

Hi everyone,

I am wanting to connect three different blinds so they are all operated by the same chain mechanism. As you can see from the photo, the blinds are very close to each other, so I imagine all you would need is a bracket. Problem is that I'm finding it a bit hard to figure out the bracket I would need.

Any ideas?

Hi @Derby_Homer,

What you're trying to achieve sounds like a fairly simple request, though I don't believe I've come across a device allowing you to connect several blinds so they can be operated off a single chain. Due to the proprietary nature of blind mechanisms, there wouldn't be a bracket allowing this conversation on every roller blind. It would probably have to be a connection bracket the manufacturer developed for their blinds. Do you know the manufacturer of your blinds so that you can contact them to check if this conversion is an option?

Thanks Mitchell, that's really helpful. It's good to know at least if it simply isn't achievable.

The blinds were here when I moved in and I cannot see anything on them that identifies a manufacturer. I'll see if I can track down the builder and ask them.

To clarify @Derby_Homer, I am not aware of these brackets being stocked by Bunnings, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. It sounds like you'd just need to find a coupling that would suit your specific blinds and if you can get the manufacturer details that would be a good start.

I am looking for the same solution and came across this blind connector:

I haven’t tested it yet, though, so not sure if it would be suitable.

Hello @nikhilh

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.

Let me tag @Derby_Homer to make them aware of your query. It would be interesting to find out if they succeeded in finding a mechanism that would make all three blinds work in unison. I can only suggest doing the same thing and that is to try and identify your roller blinds manufacturer and see if they have a mechanism that will make the blinds work in unison.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
