A new pocket and ferrule is used to recapture and secure the lift cord locking it back into the bottom rail. (Look under 'Related Items to purchase pocket & Ferrules) Since the lift cord rarely breaks, it is possible to re-thread back down through the shade and out the bottom rail. Another common failure is the lift cord pulls through the plastic Pocket and Ferrule (located at the bottom rail of the shade) and pulls up through the shade fabric. After repairing a couple hundred shades, we have found that the lift systems fails for a couple different reasons.the most common being transmission failure in which the internal transmission take-up cord inside the transmission breaks.
