Customer Reviews for ODL White Cordless Add On Enclosed Aluminum Blinds with 1/2 in. Slats, for 25 in. Wide x 66 in. Length Door Windows

Nice looking Add On Blind. It gives the look of the blinds in between the glass without having to spend a lot of money to replace the doors. The white frame even looks really nice on dark wood doors.

Unit looks good and installs with little difficulty. However, instructions Do Not include the need to remove two packing screws In order for the blind to work.

Very simple and easy to install Much better than having veritcal blinds over the door

Great

these a OK in general - pros - a good piece of glass and metal blinds. cons - they need a second Velcro mount point in the middle. It would help keep the bling in the track better

Very easy and quick to install. Work well and look great.

The blinds fit the frame as described and were easy to install. Love the ability to either open the levers or raise the entire panel.

One of the two set that I purchased had a broken piece inside. We were able to use a part from the old blinds to replace the bad part on the new one. Otherwise, they look very nice.

This was easy to install. Great fit looks really nice

Replaced ODL Enclosed Blinds we installed about 15 years ago. The main issue is they have not improved the adhesive velcrow that holds the covers at the bottom. I added heavy duty double sided tape in several places to better secure the covers. Took 5 days for doors to be shipped and Home Depot took 3 days to process once received in store. Store personnel refused to let me pickup the covers until they processed them at their convenience.

Slider to open blinds broke within a week of being installed.

Works really well for keeping out the sun. Very nice looking, pretty easy to Install. For what you get the price is a bit steep.

Hard to decide if I should recommend this product or not but by a slim margin decided yes (as evidenced by our decision to keep). We purchased 2 of these for our french doors. Several issues we had: #1) One of the two units arrived missing a bracket - reading other reviews it sounds like this is pretty common. In the section of the installation manual where you install the bracket, they even say, "if you are missing hardware, call this #" - which to me suggests they know this would be an issue as well. When I contact the supplier they sent me the bracket, it took 8 days to get in the mail. #2) ease of opening / closing - the blinds were are still are overall not very easy to open. There is a magnet that latches onto a magnetic strip that makes the mechanism work. They have put on a small felt piece as a barrier between the magnets because they are "too strong." Both my units had the felt rectangle applied over only 1/2 the magnet. The supplier said that, "China started making magnets stronger a few years ago, so their fix was to add this felt pad." They said they could send me more felt pads in the mail but they never showed up, so I had to go to the hardware store and make my own. Overall they are somewhat effective but it is still much harder to close than I would have liked. #3) installation - maybe it was just us, but both doors were very hard to get to latch onto the bracket. It took us about 30 minutes for each door. Overall workmanship is not great; there were other evidences of random green gunk/buld-up in the track that was making to hard to close; thankfully I was able to remove it myself. The units look very nice, but for $200+ each it would have been nice to have better quality.

The work was done professionally

Looks really nice!!! Even though the operator told me over the phone that this is not suitable for sliding patio doors, I bought one for what I was looking for and I’m really happy with the results.

They are built well. They add some style to my French doors. I don't have veins falling or sticking! Good quality.

Just as advertised and extremely easy to install. Excellent quality material and looks great.

These are a great addition to a door. We bought three of these for patio doors at our beach house. Below are several things we like and don't like about these add-ons:- Packaging was really nice, our boxes came in torn and damaged but the ODLs were just fine.- The edges of the ODLs are plastic, we didn't expect that. For the price we thought they would be a little bit more stout.- Installation was a breeze. Mount metal bracket at top of door, hang ODL and use double sided Velcro-like tape to secure at bottom.- If you have a lever handle on your door, you may want to look for handle extenders; otherwise, you may not be able to get your hand around the lever with the ODL in the way.- The ODL in open on the backside with glass in the front, we've found bugs will still get inside.- Make sure windows are clean before install.We are happy with these ODL Enclosed Blinds.

Easy to install, makes a world of difference over the old blinds. Wasn’t sure about the size, thought it might be too big for the door, but go with the manufacture recommendations based on your actual door glass size.

Easy to install. Simple directions. Looks absolutely wonderful. Had to replace lever handled door opener with new egg shaped handle though. I do recommend it.

We love the blind. It us exactly what we wanted.

Easy install, works great. Needed a door handle extension for our lever handle.
