Question
The staples that are used to connect the levor to the blind slats are needing to be replaced.  My young son did not operate properly, and the levor is ripped off of the slats

Answer
Hi,

Although your question has nothing to do with upholstering furniture I do think I have the answer to your question.

Go to a good hardware store, Home Depot if there is one in your area.  Otherwise any large hardware store should have this.

Ask for a hand staple gun that is used to install telephone wires in a home,  to staple the phone wires to a baseboard.

Those are the same staples that are used to hold the wood blind slats to the levor slat.  If there are only a few missing and you don't want to invest in the staple gun buy just the staples and break them off and hammer them in with a small hammer.

I hope this helps.  Remember I'm an upholsterer not a drapery man :-)
