windows that don’t close properly, hinge screws that are loose, hinges that are squeaky – these are just some of the many window installation issues caused by hinges. But you can actually remedy these problems on your own and get that window operating smoothly.
Here are 4 common window hinge installation problems and their quick fixes:
1. window not closing tightly. When this happens, your window hinge manufacturer may not be aligned. You can solve this by making sure that the window jamb is in the same plane.
2. Uneven window. One of the causes of an uneven window is a window hinge that is out of plumb. If this is the case, use a level and make sure that the window hinge is plumb.
3. Hinge screw is loose. When you feel that a hinge screw is loose, you should check the hole it is attached to, which may be too big. To solve this issue, you can use a longer screw that will reach into solid wood behind the hole. Alternatively, you can glue small pieces of toothpick or a similar material into the hole so the screw will fit better.
4. Hinge is squeaky. Squeaky hinges can be solved by lubricating the hinges with oil. You can do this by inserting a nail under the hinge pin, pushing it up, and then adding a drop of oil over the pin.
The quality of window and window products is enhanced by hardware which seals against the elements, making the products easy to operate, while at the same time discouraging burglars.
The tilt andturn hardware fittings feature the flexibility of two opening positions. The sash will swing inward - casement style - when opened in the turn position. Alternatively, hinges at the bottom and a tilting arm at the top allow it to open inward at the top like a hopper window (tilt). Both actions are activated by the turn of the handle, a smooth operation which controls all the mechanics within the frame.
The hardware around the window has several locking pins all around, which lock the sash into the frame to provide multi-point metal-to-metal security locking. This means that the energy saved through double or triple glazing is not lost through a draughty frame.
There are great benefits with the tilt and turn operation. Ample fresh air can pass into the room in the tilt position. This position also acts as a safety precaution that prevents small children from climbing through the window, and with an optional child safety lock makes it compliant with the new Building Code. The fully opened inward turn position makes life easy when cleaning windows.
