Window Hardware Repair
A window that sticks, will not latch or moves unevenly may have worn operating hardware or an alignment problem. We inspect the affected parts before recommending a repair. Window balance repair is a separate consideration when a sash will not stay open.

Why choose us for window hardware repair?
A sticking sash or window lock that will not engage needs an assessment of the affected hardware and alignment.
- Find the source of resistance
- We check sash movement, guides and locking points to distinguish worn hardware from an alignment or balance problem.
- Consider compatible fittings
- Existing mounting points and the window system help determine suitable replacement locks, latches or operating hardware.
- Understand the repair scope
- We explain the findings, the recommended work and any related issue that may need attention, so you can decide how to proceed.

Symptoms & checks
The window sticks, will not crank or will not latch
Hung windows, horizontal sliders and crank-operated casements use different hardware. A worn operator, damaged fitting or misaligned sash can make opening and locking difficult; these problems do not all require a new balance.
What we check
We check the affected operating mechanism, its attachments and how the sash moves and closes. The window type and existing hardware determine compatible repair options.
Helpful to mention: Describe how the window opens and whether the handle moves without moving the sash, the sash binds, or the latch misses.

Compatible operating hardware
The repair depends on the window design and the affected part. A casement operator, hung-window support fitting and sliding-window latch perform different jobs and require their own compatibility checks.
We explain whether adjustment, a compatible component or another repair is appropriate. After the agreed work, the sash should be checked for movement, closing alignment and latch engagement.
