That's quite a nice blind. Is it bamboo?

yeah it is from Focus DIY. Was only about £20 and its very long. Just a shame the string has frayed and snapped.
Loop it around the other one and hey presto time to buy a new one.
They have gone into administration even if he wanted to buy a new one....
You are missing a string from the right hand side of the blind to begin with. This should mirror the string on the left and both should then go over the top of the double pulley - The left string goes through the square-ish gap on the top left of the mechanism and the right hand string goes up through the bottom of the mechanism before both strings then go over the top of the double pulleys (one string on each pulley wheel)
After that I am a bit lost for now as I am unsure how the strings should go travel through the locking mechanism... Leave it with me for now or try yourself basing the start point that you pull both strings towards the middle of the blind to dis-engage the lock and lower the blind....
Others may help while I have a think

This sounds about right.

Is that telling me that I need two separate strings?

This is how its suppose to look but I cant work out how to thread this pulley. I dont know if its all one string either or if its two.

Did you even read my post? The very first thing I said was you were missing a string on the right hand side of the blind to match the left i.e. your blind requires 2 strings.
I even told you how to start threading the 2 STRINGS
Next time, before going all huffy about not getting the answer, read all the replies and you may get somewhere....

As for how the locking system works i.e. how to thread it after the pulleys, I am not sure but if it were me I would use trial and error and some basic common sense which seems to elude so many people on this forum....
I sometimes wonder how some people on this forum manage to get themselves out the door in the morning given some of the stupid questions on here

I wrote that before I saw your post. I wasn't lashing out at you I was simply saying people giving me advise as go buy another one was gash.
