Common Hardware Problems We Repair

Window hardware wears down over time from regular use, weather exposure, age, and broken internal parts. We repair many of the most common issues, including:

Locks & Latches

Broken or worn locks and latches can make windows harder to secure. We repair or replace faulty locking hardware so your windows close and lock the way they should.

Crank Operators

If your casement or awning window crank is stripped, broken, loose, or hard to turn, we can repair or replace the operator to restore smooth opening and closing.

Hinges

When hinges or other moving parts become worn or damaged, windows may not operate correctly. We inspect the hardware and replace the parts needed to restore function.

Balances

If your single- or double-hung window will not stay open or has become difficult to move, damaged balances may be the cause. We replace worn balances to help the window function properly again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my window stay open?

If your window won’t stay open, the most common cause is a failed balance system. Window balances are designed to hold the sash in place, and when they wear out or break, the window will slide shut. We can replace the balances to restore proper function and make your window easy to use again.

Yes. A stripped or broken crank operator is a common issue with casement and awning windows. If the crank spins without opening the window or feels loose, the internal gears are likely worn out. We can replace the crank operator so your window opens and closes smoothly again.

Windows that won’t close properly are often caused by damaged hardware, such as worn hinges or faulty locking mechanisms. In many cases, repairing or replacing the affected hardware will allow the window to close securely again.

Most window hardware repairs can be completed in one visit, typically within 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the issue and parts needed. If special parts are required, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit as soon as they arrive.

We repair most common window types, including casement, double-hung, sliding, and awning windows. If it has working parts, we can usually fix it.
