New kitchen cabinet design has made necessary some changes to my current vertical blind in front of a patio door. I need to change the direction of the draw to "reverse stack" open to the side opposite from the control location.
I am sure this is possible, but cannot find instructions. Can anyone help?

You can reverse the stack by simply removing and reversing the entire track but you cannot change the position of the controls. It can only be done by a retailer who carries that brand of vertical.

Thanks - I did reverse the entire header, but unfortunately that leaves me with a stack where my door handle is. Found out that I can purchase a header separately and reuse my vanes. Might have to do that. Thanks for your response.

Check out the price and make sure the vanes fits the carrier clips and that the the track has the same amount of carriers. Sometimes it's cheaper to purchase the entire vertical.
