Concertina blind or flyscreen has become stiff and difficult to operate

Possible cause: The mechanism has dried out or picked up dust/grit over time - these units need only light, occasional lubrication.. Apply a light lubricant to the mechanism. Avoid cleaning solvents or aerosols on the blind material itself, as it's a paper-type fabric that these can damage. If the problem persists, contact your Auto-Sleepers dealer.
