PVC window Handle and lock repair
Windows can become stiff to open when handles or locks haven’t been serviced regularly. Not servicing regularly causes the internal parts to bind to each other and swarf builds up. This intern increases the chances of your locks and handles failing prematurely and in some cases, they can jam shut or open. This would require a new frame or drilling out locks and handles which takes much more time and cost more.
Contact Us if you have issues opening your windows and your handles are stiff, majority of the time we are able to make a repair by disassembling the mechanism, cleaning and lubricating.
An overly stiff lock or handle can be a safety issue if, during an emergency access out of the building is hindered, more so if the lock or handle is jammed, get it checked out asap.
If the window locking mechanism is beyond repair and serving we can replace it with a new one.
How often should I oil my windows?
You should oil your PVC windows at least once a year, all moving parts of your windows should be cleaned first and then oiled with a silicon spray, this includes hinges, locking mechanisms, handles and gaskets (also known as rubber seals).
Broken window hinge repair
Why is there a gap between the window frame gasket and the opener (window casement)?
When a PVC Window hinge fails your windows can become draughty, a gap can form between the frame and the opener and the window doesn’t close back flush against the frame gasket. This is what we call a ‘lazy hinge’, over time hinges get fatigued, especially if they haven’t been oiled as the lack of lubrication puts strain on the sliders. Eventually, the hinges get tired and the PVC window will not close or open correctly. This can also happen when a force is applied to the edge of the casement when cleaning etc and the hinge bends or snaps, the only way to fix this issue is to replace the hinges.
