If the solutions previously mentioned aren't successful then the Tasker may need to gain access to and remove the lock mechanism itself. This could involve taking out the window frame or breaking out the plastic bead and frame (to make room). A replacement lock could then be fitted which is a similar profile to your existing uPVC handle. After this is completed, the new handle can be re-affixed and the process is complete. If this is the case the Tasker will provide a quote for the repair costs. Lock is faulty Lock It is essential to fix any damaged window locks as soon as possible. The reason is that a damaged window can cause the development of draughts and weaken the security of your home barriers, making the property vulnerable to burglary. Window lock repair is usually an easy task, but it's better to have an expert tackle the issue before it gets worse and will cost you more in the long run. UPVC window handles are available in two different styles: cockspur handles and espagnolette handles. The first makes use of a central rod to operate the locking cams, which are shaped like mushrooms, that secure into window frame keepers. The cams of the lock are activated by a handle that is connected to the spindle. The latch of the lock then clips into the mortise of a window frame's catches. Both types of UPVC windows locks are prone to damage, especially in older homes. This can happen when the sash becomes damaged or misaligned. In some cases, it might even fall off. In these cases the lock should be re-installed to prevent draughts as well as loss of efficiency. A Tasker will replace the faulty locks for you and provide peace of mind knowing your windows are safe from intruders. A Tasker will first look at your double-glazed window and identify the problem. Once they have all the data they require, they'll make their tools ready and arrive at your house. They'll usually bring a Phillips head screwdriver and needle nose pliers. wood glue, and fine-grit paper. Tasker will have to loosen screws that secure both pieces of the lock on the window frame, if the sash is not aligned correctly. The Tasker will then take off the latch and fill the mounting holes (if appropriate) with wood putty after which they sand the area to make it flush with the rest. If the lock has rusted it will be cleaned with a wire brush or with oil. The lock will then be lubricated with grease to ensure that it operates smoothly. They'll also make sure that the latch is in good condition and then re-install it. <span style="color: #1890ff;"><a style="color: #1890ff;" href="https://www.repairmywindowsanddoors.co.uk/salford-windowrepair/" data-type="" target="_blank"><br><br>double glazing repairs near me</a></span><br></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="s-blog-footer s-font-body s-blog-body"><div class="s-blog-footer-inner" style="padding-bottom:200px"><div class="container"><div class="sixteen columns"><div class="s-blog-footer-nav"><span class="s-blog-footer-btn s-blog-footer-previous"><a target="_self" href="https://dynamic-elephant-hcfr6z.mystrikingly.com" aria-label="Previous Post"><span class="entypo-left-open-big fixed-hidden"></span>Previous</a><div><a target="_self" href="https://dynamic-elephant-hcfr6z.mystrikingly.com" class="s-blog-nav-title s-font-title s-blog-title"></a></div></span><span class="s-blog-footer-btn s-blog-footer-next"><a target="_self" href="https://dynamic-elephant-hcfr6z.mystrikingly.com" aria-label="Next Post">Next<span class="entypo-right-open-big fixed-hidden"></span></a><div><a target="_self" href="https://dynamic-elephant-hcfr6z.mystrikingly.com" class="s-blog-nav-title s-font-title s-blog-title"></a></div></span></div><div class="s-blog-footer-toolbar social-icons"><a target="_self" href="https://dynamic-elephant-hcfr6z.mystrikingly.com/#_blog" aria-label="Return to site" class="s-blog-footer-btn s-blog-footer-back-link"><span class="entypo-left-open-big"></span> Return to site</a><ul class="s-blog-footer-actions"><li class="s-blog-footer-share"></li></ul><span></span><a class="s-powered-by-strikingly" href="//www.strikingly.com?ref=blogpbs&permalink=dynamic-elephant-hcfr6z&custom_domain=null&utm_medium=user_page&utm_source=14108316&utm_campaign=blog-footer&utm_content=https://dynamic-elephant-hcfr6z.mystrikingly.com/blog/10-things-everyone-hates-about-double-glazing-window-locks-repairs" target="_blank"><img class="s-powered-by-strikingly-icon" alt="strikingly icon" src="https://static-assets.strikinglycdn.com/images/blog/small-s-icon.png"/><span class="s-powered-by-strikingly-copy">Powered by Strikingly</span></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="s-footer-logo-wrapper"></div></div><div id="strikingly-tooltip-container" class="s-font-body"></div></div></div> </div> <div id='fb-root'></div>  <script> window.addEventListener('load', function() { // defining part window.analytics || (window.analytics = {});
