A cord lock desirably for a window blind assembly adapted to be releasably locked to a cord, such as a vertical cord of the window blind assembly, at alternate locations along the length of the cord. The cord lock desirably includes a first member and a second member that are hingedly connected together in any suitable manner for opening and closing the cord lock. The cord lock defines a channel for receiving the cord and includes structure for engaging the cord within the channel to releasably lock the cord lock to the cord when the cord lock is in a closed position. The channel may be elongated and defined by the second member, and the cord engaging structure may be integral or otherwise associated with the first member. The cord may be received within the channel when the cord lock is in a closed position to lock the cord lock to the cord and desirably also to substantially enclose the channel so as to define a passage with two open ends. At least a portion of the channel may be enclosed to retain the cord within the channel and permit sliding of the cord lock along the cord even when the cord lock is in the open position. A method is also provided for adjusting the length of the window blind assembly including the step of releasably locking the cord lock to the cord of the window blind assembly.
