Repair replacement of accessories of plastic windows. Repair of plastic window fittings


Windows, handles that do not work well, not allowing you to close or open the window, can be clogged with dust, have hidden defects or even fail. To get rid of this trouble, it is not necessary to change the entire window system, it is much easier (and cheaper) to repair fittings. This is not as difficult to do as it might seem at first glance, sometimes it will be sufficient to simply disassemble the entire mechanism, carefully lubricate it and assemble it. Sometimes, repairs will be a little more labor intensive. The most common problems with window fittings and examples of their elimination are discussed below.

What is plastic window fittings

Replacing fittings is a problem that every person can face in whose apartment or house there are PVC or aluminum structures. Such elements can be rotary or tilt-and-turn, they are located on windows, balcony doors.

These products allow you to:

  • open a window, a door (rotary position);
  • fold down for ventilation (reclining position);
  • close the sash, for which the resistance of the seal inside is overcome.

Fittings for plastic structures are divided into categories:

  • for sashes (doors) of a rotary type;
  • for sashes (doors) of a tilt-and-turn type;
  • for flaps (doors) of folding, fanlight type.

To date, the leaders of this market are manufacturers from Germany - Roto and Austria - MACO. Both companies are distinguished by the reliability of fasteners, high quality materials, which makes them the choice of most window system companies.

Accessories Roto (roto)


German models from Roto (roto) have a fairly wide range of models:

  • Roto NT: the most popular tilt and turn model. It is equipped with the highest possible anti-corrosion protection, a galvanic coating is located directly under the paint layer, which acts as a base;
  • Roto NX: elements with increased wear resistance, designed specifically for equipping buildings and structures for industrial use;
  • Roto OK: this is the standard equipment of the tilt and turn system, created for standard door, window units of residential buildings;
  • Roto NT Designo: has hinges hidden from prying eyes, with high strength and strength, therefore, used to equip heavy or large doors, doors.

An important advantage of products from Roto is the mandatory application of a special coating, the name of which has the prefix nano. It increases the anti-corrosion properties of the elements without changing the appearance at all, while maintaining a matte sheen and smoothness of the outer surface.

Installation of accessories Roto (roto)

German quality Roto is a modular type of connection. Broken elements that are out of order, and not coping with the performance of their duties, can be easily removed and replaced with new ones.

The modules are interconnected using a special method (patented) called Clip&Fit. Mechanisms are attached with screws.

Accessories MACO


High quality, a fairly wide range, made it possible to gain recognition from buyers for Austrian fittings called MACO. It is used to equip doors, PVC windows, metal look.

An important feature of models from this manufacturer is the presence of anti-burglary and electronic mechanisms that equip doors or windows, increasing the security of the room.

Moreover, it will not be difficult to replace ordinary locking bars with burglar-resistant ones, not only for a professional, but also for an ordinary person who has the slightest skills in working with a tool. Products from MACO, regardless of their shape, complexity of execution, have a single way of connection and installation.

The mechanisms of this manufacturer also have protection against corrosion, for which they are coated with a coating called Silber-look.

Fittings in plastic windows and doors from the developer (in new houses)

Repair of window components is a problem that is increasingly puzzling even the owners of new, newly erected buildings. Thrifty and unscrupulous developers are doing their best to reduce the cost of the work that they are obliged to do. Therefore, plastic structures in new houses are rarely of high quality, most often developers work with manufacturers who offer the cheapest window systems, as well as elements that are not reliable.

The installation of new plastic systems, of course, can solve the problem once and for all, however, it is not always affordable for newcomers. But living with handles that do not perform their tasks well, a sealant crawling out of the cracks that does not allow you to close the window is not the case.

The solution to the problem will be:

  • complete replacement of the seal, if required;
  • repair or replacement of fittings.

The fittings of the plastic window (door) broke. What to do?

If such a problem arises as a slight breakdown of the element that opens and closes the sashes, the way out will be to replace one of them (the one that failed). Manufacturers of these elements specifically create a modular system of fittings, so replacing one of the components is usually not difficult.

When one block breaks, it is replaced with a new one, which restores the efficiency of the entire structure. Only serious breakdowns require the replacement of all fittings.

Not in all cases, replacement should be done with your own hands, some breakdowns can only be repaired by service specialists, who should not be neglected.

Why does the fittings of plastic windows and doors break?

Replacement of accessories is necessary for a number of reasons:

  • refusal to carry out maintenance of the window system on a regular basis;
  • fatigue of the material, its increased wear;
  • excessive effort applied to opening/closing windows;
  • the ingress of foreign objects into the window sashes, operating elements, which interferes with their adequate functioning.

The main malfunctions in the operation of plastic window (door) fittings

Repair of plastic window fittings can be carried out in different ways, specific methods depend on the cause that caused the equipment malfunction.

Types of repair work to restore the functions of window / door mechanisms

Type of malfunctionPossible type of failureRepair method
The handle cannot be turnedThe connection comb located between the drive and the corner switch jumped from its place to anotherGo through the whole mechanism and put the comb in place
It takes a lot of effort to close a windowOne of the window elements (corner switch) was deformed (bent)Replace corner switch
When exposed to the handle, the required action does not occur, it simply scrolls around its axisLock brokenReplace main lock drive
Window or door opens in two positions at onceBroken scissor loop or just scissorsReplacement of a broken element
Upper/lower window/door hinge coming offLoop breakageTop/bottom hinge replacement

How to determine: what kind of accessories I have installed?

Repair of plastic window fittings must begin with determining its manufacturer. It is not difficult to do this: on each module you can find a sticker, which is the brand name of the manufacturer. You need to open the transom of a window or door, at the end, near the handle, you can find an emblem indicating the name of the company.

Do-it-yourself replacement of plastic window fittings


Repair of plastic windows most often requires the replacement of metal fittings, is it possible to cope with this problem on your own without contacting window production specialists? If you approach the matter wisely, familiarize yourself with the basics of the repair process on the numerous videos presented on the Internet, you can do everything yourself.

Important! If there is the slightest doubt about the correctness of the work performed, it is better to refuse such repairs and entrust it to qualified professionals.

Before starting repair work, you should remember three simple rules that are constantly indicated by manufacturers in the recommendations for the use of PVC windows and related devices.

Important rules:

  1. It is strictly forbidden to use a structure with broken metal fittings.
  2. All components that have been damaged must be replaced immediately.
  3. Work on adjustment, replacement of fixtures of window systems should, if possible, be trusted only by specialists.

Do-it-yourself plastic window mechanism repair

Repair of plastic windows may not be necessary if the structures are made by a trusted manufacturer, in compliance with the main technological points, using high-quality materials. Such systems serve for a long time, practically without causing complaints, without becoming a source of problems and without requiring the replacement of any elements.

Situations when the horse starts to blow, the handle or opening device breaks, the seal dries up and breaks, most often occur when the window systems installed in the house were made without taking into account all the rules and subtleties. This situation calls for refurbishment.

Most often there are such problems with the mechanisms:

  • the handle becomes too loose, more often, due to the application of great force to open / close it, making sudden movements;
  • the handle fails when a complete replacement of this component is required;
  • the course of the opening device becomes tight, which may indicate sagging of the sash, or prolonged operation of the window without lubrication of moving components;
  • the seal deteriorates;
  • the devices that make up the lock are damaged;
  • the handle refuses to function (does not close the window), which may be caused by incorrect operation of the system elements;
  • the double-glazed window, the frame is damaged, which requires the mandatory replacement of the damaged structure.

Despite the fact that qualified specialists should be engaged in the repair of window systems, this task can be on the shoulder even for an ordinary person, if you approach it wisely, take into account all the necessary nuances.

Tools needed for repair

Repairing plastic windows may require certain tools:

  • a key with six faces measuring 4 mm;
  • star-shaped screwdriver and nozzles for it (needed only for setting up rare types of mechanisms, however, they should be prepared in advance);
  • plain type Phillips screwdriver, size 3, 4;
  • pliers;
  • engine oil (lube spray WD-40).

A furniture key, also known as a hexagon key, is the most necessary for installing and replacing window elements; it can be in the shape of the letter “G” or “S” (with the possibility of double-sided action). Window installers use keys that have a bend at the top to do their job, they facilitate the process of performing some manipulations. In the absence of a special tool, you can adapt any other keys and nozzles to your needs.

To increase the convenience of fixing metal fittings to profiles, it is important to have a Phillips screwdriver on hand in order to correctly attach special bolts. Such a tool will definitely come in handy in the process of replacing, adjusting handles.

When a plastic window has a sliding device, its repair requires special skills. But, as a rule, the whole problem lies only in setting the optimal distance between the roller carriages that hold the movable sash.

Main window adjustment points


Before proceeding directly to work, consider the points to be adjusted:

  • upper horizontal hinges: for adjusting the upper part of the sashes;
  • lower horizontal loops: to normalize the lower angle of the valves;
  • lower hinge: allows you to adjust the vertical position of the sashes;
  • eccentric locking pin (lower or upper): regulates the clamping force of the leaves.

Each of these points allows you to find and solve any problem. If particles of debris are found, they should be removed, and then re-adjusted.

Troubleshooting handles

Hardware repair is most often associated with adjusting the operation of handles. As a rule, the only thing that needs to be done to get the device working is to tighten the mount.

Under each handle is located vertically upwards, an overlay having a rectangular shape. You need to pry it with your finger over the top and bottom edges, which will allow you to rotate the element 90 degrees. Under this design, 2 bolts with heads for a Phillips screwdriver will be hidden, they must be tightened using the appropriate tool.

It is impossible to pry off the plate covering the bolts with a screwdriver or other sharp object, this can damage the integrity of the profile, deformation of the extreme part of the plug.

Presser setting

Repair of plastic window fittings very often has to be started when the sealing gum fails. This happens when it is made of low-quality materials, under the influence of precipitation, friction and constant use.

Due to the wear of the seal, gaps may occur, which leads to a complete loss of tightness, air penetration, and deterioration of soundproofing properties.

To eliminate this pathology, it is not necessary to resort to a complete replacement of the seal, the fittings allow you to get rid of the problem by normalizing the clamping mechanism.

Downforce requires regular (2 times a year) changes, this is necessary when the air temperature changes from low to high and vice versa. In addition, reducing the voltage allows you to increase the life of the rubber seal.

To adjust the force, you should find eccentrics - these are special oval-shaped cylinders located on the end side of the sash, in the slots of the metal plugs. There are reciprocal hooks on the frame, which include other hooks, when the handle is turned, when the door is pressed against the frame. You can adjust the force by moving the hooks.

To weaken the effort to close the door, the protruding part of the eccentric is turned to the street, to strengthen it, turn it inside the room.

To set up eccentrics and reciprocal hooks, you can use one of the tips (which one is best, depends on the hardware manufacturer):

  1. Turn the eccentric slot with a flat screwdriver.
  2. Take it away with your hand, with pliers, then scroll.
  3. Make an effort, acting on the eccentrics with pliers.

Important! Before choosing a method of exposure, it is very important to study the recommendations for a specific model of the system, sometimes scrolling the mechanism with pliers can damage the entire fastening mechanism.

When tuning with the outer cylinders does not work, you can try to influence the position of the counterparts by changing their position.

The setting is done like this:

  • using a hex wrench, remove the two bolts that fix the counterpart;
  • move the hook towards the room (this will reduce the pressure), towards the street (this will increase the pressure).

When the pressure at the handle is changed, you need to adjust the side where the canopies are located. If we are talking about a door equipped with a fanlight system, with the possibility of opening a window for ventilation, you need:

  • on the lower canopy, find the cap of the plastic trim and remove it;
  • on the canopy there will be two explicit and one hidden bolt, after closing the door, you need to remove the bolt located perpendicular to the plane with a hex wrench. It should be twisted counterclockwise (for the purpose of strengthening) and vice versa;
  • to adjust the upper part, open the sash, press the lever or lock clip on the side of the handle (this will set the sash to the ventilation mode). In this case, the sash will come out of the upper groove and remain hanging only on the lower element, which will open access to the head for adjusting the pressure on the upper part of the sash. You can adjust it by turning the bolt, in the same way as when adjusting the trunnions.

Solving other problems

Repair of plastic windows may be required when the handle is jammed. The reason for this situation may be the incorrect operation of the blocking device, when the position of the open window does not change to the position of the closed one.

To solve the problem, you need to do the following:

  • find the lock lever: it can be located at the end of the window (when the sash is open, it is located at an angle to the seal), at the end of the sash (from the side of the handle), protruding in the form of a clip that goes beyond the rubber of the sealing type;
  • move the lever to the side;
  • release the mobility of the handle mechanism.

Take care of window systems, as well as fittings that ensure their operation, should be done on a regular basis.

Ways to care for mechanisms:

  • regulate (twice a year);
  • clean with a soft cloth dampened in a solution of soap from accumulated dust and dirt;
  • lubricate with oil for processing parts of sewing machines (without additives).

Important! The manufacturer of window structures sometimes includes in the warranty card a condition on mandatory periodic maintenance of fittings. Failure to comply with this paragraph may void the warranty.

In order for the mechanisms to serve for a long time, it is necessary to follow the recommendations for caring for them:

  • after the repair work is completed, it is imperative to remove traces of dust from the metal with a soapy solution;
  • protect elements from contact with sharp objects, as well as prolonged contact with water, which can cause corrosion;
  • do not rub the plastic surface with a hard sponge, use a soft cloth to clean;
  • do not use compositions containing abrasive, aggressive, chemicals (chlorine, alcohol, acids).

It is very important not to forget about cleaning glass surfaces: you need to work carefully, preventing moisture from penetrating the profile, as well as the rubber seal (especially if a solution containing alcohol is used for cleaning).

The seal should be cleaned not more often, but not less often than once every 6 months. For this purpose, a solution of water and soap is used, then treated with a silicone-based lubricant.

Each frame contains drainage holes that also need to be cleaned. They are located on the bottom plane of the frame.

Regular care of the window structure, maintenance of fittings in working condition, timely correction of defects and breakdowns, will allow to preserve the beauty of windows for a long time.

There can be many reasons that lead to malfunctions of window fittings. These are mechanical damage, foreign objects getting inside the mechanism, dust or dirt deposits, etc. To correct the damage, you will first need to correctly diagnose the defect, and only then choose the method and necessary tools to correct the situation. In some cases, some manipulations with the preservation of old mechanisms may be enough, while in others, the replacement of broken or bent elements with new parts. It is important to assess the complexity of the problem, since minor flaws can be corrected on their own, but in the case of specific or complex damage, a professional will be required.

Special fittings are installed on balcony doors and room windows - a structure made of metal elements of a tilt-and-turn or rotary type. Due to these details, movable sashes and doors can be opened completely wide open or in a stationary position can be pulled out from above, keeping the lower part of the sash leaning against the frame. The depth of such reclining is regulated by special "scissors" with a limited stroke. Most often, to open the sashes or doors of the balcony, it will be necessary to overcome the resistance created by the seal. Types of fittings for PVC windows and doors:

  • fanlight flaps;
  • swing-out;
  • rotary.

The main malfunctions in the operation of a plastic window

Since there are a lot of possible damages and malfunctions for PVC windows, which differ in manifestation by similar “symptoms”, There is the following classification of the most frequent defects:
  1. Damage to the lower or upper hinge - is expressed as a visible flaw that requires the replacement of the whole part.
  2. Opening the sash in two positions at the same time. The reason is a damaged or broken scissor loop or scissors only, repaired by replacing this part.
  3. If the handle scrolls freely around its axis, this indicates a failure of the drive (main shut-off), it needs to be replaced.
  4. Difficulties in closing the sash in a PVC window indicate a broken or deformed corner switch that needs to be replaced with a new element.
  5. Handle blocking - jumping in the mechanism of the corner switch and the drive, is corrected by disassembling and eliminating the defect, followed by assembly in the reverse order (we talked about assembling plastic windows).

skewed sash

In the event of a change in the installation level of the sash, you first need to determine in which direction the correction is required, and then proceed to its regulation. All operations are done with a hex key on "4".

Correction of skew "left - right"

  • Such malfunctions are eliminated by acting on the lower loop. Removal of a decorative trim is required to expose the adjustment groove into which the end of the key is inserted. When turning the tool counterclockwise, the sash will move to the right, if in the opposite direction - to the left.
  • To perform the same operations with the upper area of ​​the sash, it is necessary to carry out similar manipulations with the element located on the sash. You will need to fully open the window to expose this area with the socket in which the element is located.
Adjusting the evenness of the vertical and horizontal position of the sashes is carried out only when the window is fully opened.

Correction of the skew "down - up"

To adjust the position of the sash in the vertical direction, you need to get to the bottom hinge and then remove the decorative cap. The upper adjustment groove controls the lowering and lifting of the sash by turning the hex key counterclockwise or clockwise.

Large gap for ventilation, blowing from the sealing gum at the top

They are often ordered, which do not have vents, which is done to save material, a better decorative look and a greater ability to retain heat in the room, to let in less noise from the outside. However, you can ventilate the room by setting the opening sash to the "Ventilation" position. Often this gap increases as the window is used, which requires its reduction in winter and cold periods. One of the ways to eliminate the inconvenience is to regulate the pressure force to the frame structure of the window sash. For this you will need to do the following:
  1. By moving the sash to the simultaneous position in the ventilation and opening modes, access to the corresponding mechanism appears.
  2. In order for such an action not to be limited by the blocker of the 2-mode simultaneous opening of the sash, it is necessary to find the “tongue” of the device on the handle mechanism and push it inward.
  3. In the upper area, the supporting scissors with an adjusting element will be visible. When turning this element with a hex wrench, the sash will be removed or pressed.
If these steps do not help, then the problem may be hiding in a poor fit to the window of the trunnions (locking mechanisms) or slats. To regulate them, you will need the following:
  1. Depending on the type of fittings, the correction is made either for the slats or for the trunnions.
  2. The oval-shaped elements located at the end of the sash are pins that are adjusted with a hex key if there is an appropriate control mechanism. If they are not, then the operations are performed with pliers.
  3. Rotation in one direction or another will press against or move away the trunnions themselves.

It is necessary to make sure that the clamping after adjustment is made evenly and tightly.

Read about how to competently replace the seal on plastic windows with your own hands, and find out how to adjust so as not to blow.

Can't close


The defect appears as a result of a sharp or inaccurate movement of the handle, which activates the blocking mechanism.
  1. To restore the previous mobility of this part, you must first determine the brand of the installed fittings on the window. Different manufacturers on the details may have differences in design.
  2. To find the blocker, you need to look under the handle, where the protruding tongue is located. It is required to transfer this part to such a position that the direction coincides with the location of the sash, it is parallel to it. Then you need to return the handle to its original position.
For AUBI brand fittings, you need to perform slightly different manipulations:
  1. First, make sure that the sash opens vertically, since simultaneous opening in two modes will not allow you to turn the handle. On the side of the sash there should be a spring element with a metal plate. It is necessary to press this part against the seal, and turn the handle at this moment. If such actions did not bring results, check the fit of the blocking element to the response mechanism. This is due to the overshoot of this element in the event of a decrease in temperature.
  2. With the sash open, find the response mechanism on the window frame - a blocker is hooked on it at the moment the sash is closed. You will need to unwind this mechanism, remove its contents and substitute a plastic or other durable plate of a suitable size between the mating element and the frame area. Read about the features of repairing a plastic window mechanism.

The handle is hard to turn

In case of such a problem, you need to perform the following actions:
  1. It is necessary to evaluate your repair skills and abilities, since most often the help of a master will help save money and even prevent even greater damage.
  2. The reason for this phenomenon is the sagging sash, the lack of a sufficient amount in the mechanism or its drying out. It is necessary to assess the condition of the lubricant, the presence of sagging.
  3. If the position of the sash deviates from the vertical or horizontal, it must be adjusted. When replacing the lubricant or adding an additional amount of it, the operation is somewhat more complicated, since PVC windows have a complex design.
  4. You need a universal spray or a composition for fittings for directional double-glazed windows.
  5. Following the instructions on the containers with lubricants, carry out the necessary manipulations.

Lubrication is applied only to the accessible areas of the mechanisms. If these steps did not help fix the problem, you need to contact the wizard.

Broken/loose handle


Such a defect is easy to fix without the involvement of a master. For this:
  1. Get the right size pen. Most often, a part from one manufacturer is required.
  2. It is necessary to find the plastic plate covering the base of the handle, turn it to a horizontal position. This will expose the bolts that secure the piece to the sash. They are unscrewed with a screwdriver to replace a new one.
  3. The structure is assembled in the reverse order.
  4. If the handle just dangles, then the reason may be poor fixation with screws. To do this, you only need to tighten the bolts, but without changing the part.
When installing a sash opening limiter, you must first fix it at the base of the handle, and only then install and fix the part.

Opening of the sash immediately in the turn and tilt positions

When opening the sash in both modes at the same time, you will need:
  1. It is necessary to return the sash to the vertical position. To do this, it is pressed against the frame.
  2. If the manipulations did not bring any result, disable the locking mechanism, then close the window and turn the handle down.
  3. To check the success of the actions performed, you need to install the window in all positions with a slow turn of the handle.

Blowing out from under the seal

The fittings of plastic windows have a trunnion or an eccentric. These parts are responsible for the density of pressing the sash to the frame structure of the window. If blowing is felt from under the seal, then it is necessary to align the position of the sash by scrolling these parts in the right direction. You will need a hex key for "4" - it is suitable for any type of fittings. You need to do the following:
  1. For fittings manufactured by Sigenia and AUBI, find pins with turnkey sockets on the sash, followed by turning the rollers closer to the seal.
  2. Windows brand Winkhaus allow you to turn the eccentric by hand without tools.
  3. Manufacturer Roto designs will require a hex wrench to be inserted into the appropriate locations on the strike plates. When the element is rotated, the desired position of the sash is lined up.

Attention

The location of the point relative to the seal determines the degree of pressure. So that the rubber does not wear out, in the summer the eccentrics are returned to their previous position.

Mechanism failure


Often various mechanisms break down in fittings:
  • opening, closing and holding the sash close to the frame;
  • setting the ventilation mode (on plastic windows?).
In order for the window to function correctly and fully, the work of each incoming element, including locks and constipation, is required. Repair constipation or it will be possible only after replacing broken or bent movable elements, other small parts, or applying the correct amount of lubricant. Depending on the brand of PVC window construction, the location, design and other features of the mechanisms may differ.

Worn seal

Wear of the sealing material occurs 5-10 years after the end of its service life. However, this may happen earlier due to mechanical damage and other actions. To replace, you will need to perform the following manipulations:
  1. An old or damaged sealing cord is pryed closer to the corner with a flat-tip screwdriver.
  2. It is removed along the perimeter of the sash or window frame. If only part of it is damaged, you can only limit yourself to the distance to the end of the element.
  3. The groove must be well washed and cleaned of dirt, remnants of the old sealant with the obligatory drying of the recess.
  4. Glue is applied along the entire length where the new sealing cord will be placed.
  5. Without compression or stretching, the seal is inserted into such a groove with neat and smooth movements.
When choosing a new seal, check it for integrity and damage. The reasons for replacing the fittings on the window are described.

What tools will be needed?

Depending on the type of damage, different tools may be required. The list usually contains:
  • asterisk keys in a set;
  • hex keys in a set;
  • hammer with rubber pads;
  • screwdriver with speed control and replaceable bits;
  • screwdrivers - cross or flat.

Stars and hexes are the most important in the above list, since most manufacturers use different bolts with a similar cap shape.

When is a replacement required?


As soon as PVC windows begin to function not as well as during installation, it is necessary to check their serviceability. Broken or damaged hardware leads to:
  • to the appearance of a draft;
  • freezing windows;
  • violation of sound insulation;
  • penetration of water and dust from the outside.
If any sign from the above list was found, then you should not hesitate to repair window fittings. Prolonging the problem will lead to contamination of the entire mechanism, drying out or damage to the lubricant and other malfunctions. Then repairs can be very expensive. Repair of window fittings can often be done by hand. without the help of a master. Such damage includes:
  • breakage of the handle;
  • adjustment of the sash in height or location relative to the frame;
  • other types of flaws.
However, it is not always possible to correctly determine the essence of the problem, its complexity. Therefore, it is best to enlist the help of a master at the slightest doubt, since repairs after incompetent intervention can be too expensive (read about repairing plastic windows).

When replacement and adjustment of fittings is required

  • Violation of the smoothness of opening and closing. Perhaps you just need to clean and lubricate the fittings, but a more serious reason may also be found.
  • Sagging or warping of the sash, its loss. Inspection, adjustment and, if necessary, replacement of hinges and adjacent assemblies is necessary.
  • Handle breakage. One of the most easily fixable problems when it comes only to the pen itself. However, more serious problems are possible, because the entire opening / closing system is tied to it.
  • Blowing with the window closed. The reason may be both in a worn seal, and in the mechanism itself.
  • You can also contact us if you decide to expand the functions of the window: install a child lock (baby stop), put a handle with a key, a comb, or replace the swivel mechanism with a tilt-and-turn mechanism.

Hello everyone! Last week, a client came in with a problem. The window stopped closing. They came, they saw, they were horrified. All mechanisms were clogged with construction dust. The apartment is just rented, without finishing.

We found out that when the walls were being ditched, the windows were open so that the dust would fly into the street. However, the dust settled into all the mechanisms of the fittings and clogged there. Therefore, in the evening, the owner of the apartment could not close the window. It’s good that he didn’t go to fix it himself, otherwise it would be a disaster. My employees carefully dismantled everything, lubricated the mechanisms and installed them back.

The window worked as it should! So if you have problems with fittings, it is better to trust the professionals so that later you do not overpay for replacing a new one. And how to independently diagnose small problems and fix them yourself is my new article.

Swivel and tilt-and-turn fittings are placed on windows and balcony doors. It can be used to open a window or door (swivel position) or tilt it (tilt position), limited by the stroke of the scissors. As a rule, when closing a sash (door) with fittings, it is necessary to overcome the resistance of the seal.

Useful tips and tricks. Care of fittings and plastic windows

Please note that the manufacturer even withdraws its warranty if the fittings are not periodically serviced.

The fittings of a plastic window or door must be adjusted periodically (once every six months), cleaned of accumulated dirt with a soft cloth dipped in soapy water, and lubricated with at least sewing machine oil or plain machine oil or some other that does not contain additives.

After carrying out repair or construction work, it is necessary to wash off construction dust from the fittings of a plastic window or door with soapy water.

It is necessary to protect the fittings from damage to the surface with sharp objects, and also avoid prolonged contact with water - this can lead to corrosion.

Caring for a plastic window (door)

Even a simple ordinary soap solution will easily wash the plastic profile of your entire window, or you can use degreasing detergents. But only wash the plastic profile with a soft sponge, do not rub it with a hard surface.

It is strictly forbidden to use abrasive and aggressive chemical compounds (which include chlorine, acids, alcohol and other additives that actively destroy dirt). Even if at first glance nothing happened, then after a while the color of the plastic from white can become grayish-yellow.

A double-glazed window in a PVC window is ordinary glass and you need to wash it like ordinary glass. Carefully, trying not to get detergents on the profile. It is important not to overdo it - so that the washing alcohol solution does not get on the rubber seal.

It is also important to regularly clean the drainage holes at the bottom of the window frame. If you regularly pay a little attention to a plastic window, then it will last a long time and reliably!

Do-it-yourself plastic window repair adjustment

I have previously given advice on window care. Here we will talk about the situation when the thunder has already struck.

Very often, when making repairs in an apartment, we, having opened the doors wide open, forget how to protect our plastic windows from the consequences. It is plastic, since simple, wooden ones are not equipped, as a rule, with such complex fittings.

This is exactly what happened to our clients. At the end of the repair, one of the windows stopped closing normally. They called us. As one would expect, all the nodes of the locking fittings were clogged with lime dust.

The only thing that saved people from a complete replacement of fittings was that they did not try to make adjustments or repairs with their own hands. And we had to disassemble the window, wash and lubricate all the fittings.

ATTENTION! These works are NOT included in the warranty and are paid. I think why - no need to explain. But, in any case, it will cost less than buying new fittings. Well, if you have minimal locksmith skills, having learned the theory, you can do the repair and adjustment of windows with your own hands.

To work, you need to have a couple of screwdrivers, pliers, a couple of brushes (soft and hard), kerosene (or something similar) and grease.

ATTENTION! It is desirable to have a lubricant specifically for fittings of plastic windows.

In extreme cases, you can replace any neutral (WD-40) or automotive WITHOUT additives.

And so, everything is ready - go ahead.

  • Remove the decorative trims from the hinges.
  • Disconnect the top loop.

ATTENTION! At the same time, it is desirable to have an assistant to hold the sash during the disassembly of the hinge.

Then, tilting the sash towards you, remove it from the stem of the lower hinge. Keep in mind - the sash is much heavier than it seems.

We take the pen. We turn the decor plate and unscrew the fixing screws.

For convenience, we put the sash on the table. We carefully study and remember the location of all fittings. Let's start disassembly. We unscrew all the screws around the perimeter of the sash. Then (preferably together) we remove the mechanism. Wash thoroughly on both sides.

It is better to do this - the table is covered with a film, any flat container (bath) is placed, the mechanism, as it is washed, we move over it. It is desirable to work together.

Then all the fittings need to be dried, you can use a hairdryer or a bicycle pump. Lubricate all moving parts without moving them relative to each other. The fact is, without knowing the principle of their interaction, it will be difficult to make the mechanism function.

We install the hardware mechanism in place, fasten it with screws, put the handle.

Lubricate the hinges on the box and install the sash. First we put it on the lower loop, then we connect the upper loop, insert the rod into it.

If everything was done properly, the sash should work without surprises. Worst case, you'll have to adjust it a bit.

Good luck to you! There will be questions - write.

Do-it-yourself plastic window repair

Quite often, people turn to us with a request to change a broken handle on a window or balcony door, install a “comb” window opening limiter, unlock a PVC window handle that refuses to turn.

Believe me, many malfunctions of plastic windows are not critical, they can be eliminated on their own without spending money and time waiting for a window repairman, whom you can also call from us. On this page we will try to explain to you how to carry out repairs.

How to replace a window handle on a window?

If you have cracked the base of the PVC window handle and need replacement, or you have a small child and you want him to be unable to open the window and for this you want to install a handle with a lock, then it is not necessary to order a plastic window repair service.

The work of replacing a window handle takes a couple of minutes and requires only a screwdriver and the desire to do this work yourself. Rotate the plastic cover of the handle base 90 degrees. There you will see the screws holding the handle to the window.

Unscrew them with a screwdriver, remove the old handle and in its place, attach the new one with the same screws. When installing the “comb” opening limiter, it is necessary to install the “comb” ventilator regulator plate under the base of the handle.

Window handles, as well as ventilation regulators (combs), can be purchased at construction markets, in pavilions selling door handles or hardware stores "Leroy-Merlin", "OBI" cost from 70 to 200 rubles.

We install "comb" window opening limiters for 150-200 rubles, white tilt-and-turn handles -300 rubles, window handles with a lock, made in England, Poland - 900 rubles, a children's lock - 1000 rubles.

Is the window handle jammed in the open position of the window, the handle does not turn, the window does not close?

In the open position of the sash, the handle turned out to be accidentally turned down and it is impossible to close the window, since the handle does not turn.

Don't worry, your window isn't broken, it's just that the lock to turn the handle in the open position of the window has worked, and the handle has been locked in the wrong position, preventing the window from closing.

In modern window designs, many brands of fittings are equipped with locks for turning the handle in the open state, or in the tilt-and-turn position, this is done for the good purpose so that the consumer does not accidentally break the window.

But, there are times when, when quickly performing the operation of moving the handle from one position to another, this blocker is triggered at a completely unnecessary point in time.

No need to panic. To repair PVC windows with your own hands, first determine the brand of fittings. To do this, find the name written on the metal constipation.

If you have “AUBI” written on it, then find a protruding metal thin plate with a spring near the handle.

Press this plate tightly against the seal with your finger and turn the handle. If it does not come out, then pay attention to the position of the sash.

It is necessary that the sash be in a strictly vertical position, since if the sash hangs at an angle, then the top lock of the tilt-and-turn position will also block the rotation of the handle. So, having leveled the window and pressing the plate against the seal, you can easily turn the handle to the open position and close the window.

If you have “Roto”, “GU”, “Winkhaus” or something else, then try to find below the handle, a metal tongue sticking out at an angle towards the frame.

Here are the steps as above. Press down on the tab with your finger until it is parallel to the sealing rubber and easily turn the handle to the desired position. There may be an unpleasant moment with the temperature deformation of the window.

The tongue may not touch the mating element installed on the window frame and, when the sash is closed, slip past, respectively, without bending towards the seal and the handle does not turn.

Open the window and find the metal part that the tongue should hit. Unscrew the screw, or two screws of the interlock counter element from the frame and place something between it and the frame, for example, a plastic lining, a thin screw. This will achieve the adhesion of the blocker on the sash and the counter element on the frame.

Repair of the scissor block of Winkhaus fittings

Over time, there are problems with the handle rotation lock installed in the scissors of the Winkhaus tilt and turn fittings. This friction block wears out over time, and the hardware refuses to lock.

The window handle turns only to the “open” position and up for ventilation. In this case, force must not be applied to close the handle, as the gearbox of the main constipation may be broken. Either call the master, and he will repair the fittings by removing the blocker for 1500 rubles, or look at the photos, which element needs to be removed.

To remove the scissors, you must first remove the window sash. Remove the trim from the top hinge and use a pair of pliers and a screwdriver to pry out the pin. Lower the sash to the floor and unscrew the screws that secure the fittings, remove the scissors. Then the blocker is removed, the scissors are screwed into place and the fittings work like new!

What to do if the plastic window is tightly closed?

Here, both the sagging of the sash and the banal drying of the lubricant can be the cause. To get started, buy a universal penetrating lubricant - spray at any auto shop.

Put a straw on the can and lubricate all moving parts well, especially the upper corner gears. If it does not help, then try to twist the adjusting screws of the hinges on the window.

Remove the decorative cap on the bottom hinge and, according to the diagram below, try to lift the sash by tightening the screw inside the hinge with a hex wrench. If you see that the sash hits the striker on the frame with its upper corner, then tighten the top hinge screw as indicated in the instructions for adjusting the fittings.

How to adjust plastic windows to eliminate blowing from under the sealing rubber

Try to eliminate this by turning the cams of the trunnions. If the window has “Roto” fittings, then pay attention to the counter plates on the frame.

In the middle there is a place where, by inserting a No. 4 hex key, you can turn the movable element in the desired direction. Determine where to turn by typing.

If there is “Winkhaus” fittings on the window, then you need to grab the lock with two fingers, pull the eccentric and turn it in the right direction, as in the photo:

If the window does not have “Roto”, but other fittings, such as “AUBI”, “Sigenia”, “GU”…., then you will see on the sash movable fittings in the form of rollers (pins) with a hole in the middle for a No. 4 hex key. You will find a dot on the edge of the roller.

The closer you turn this point to the sash seal, the stronger the sash pressure will be. Just do not forget to return the pin to its original position in the summer, otherwise the sealing rubber will wear out quickly.

You should also pay attention to the position of the movable pins on the sash relative to the counterparts on the frame. It is possible that the strikers are not positioned correctly and the pins do not go behind the strikers when closing. In this case, the counter plates must be rearranged.

Loosen the screw securing the striker to the frame and move the striker lower so that the roller goes completely under the striker. If the adjustment of the eccentrics did not bring results, then call the PVC window repairman.

How to eliminate strong blowing of plastic windows from the side of the hinges?

This problem occurs both on sashes with tilt and turn fittings and on sashes with turn-only fittings. The first reason is poor-quality installation, the installers stretched the frame in the middle with an anchor and therefore the middle clamp on the sash does not work.

The second reason is that the straightening plates installed in the middle of the sash between the double-glazed window and the profile fell, or they were not installed at the factory.

A plastic window repairman will cure this problem in 10 minutes by removing the glazing bead from the sash from the hinge side and placing the required number of straightening plates in the middle between the double-glazed window and the profile. How to remove a bead from a PVC window with your own hands and stretch the window sash?

It is best to take a wide chisel or a hard spatula for removing paint. A slotted screwdriver or a knife cannot be used, as it will spoil the appearance of the PVC profile. Leaning the tool against the junction of the glazing bead and the profile of the sash, detach the glazing bead with a light blow.

Then, pay attention to the leveling plates installed at the bottom between the frame and the sash. You also need to install plastic plates in the middle, moving the window sash 3-5 mm away from the double-glazed window.

Plates can be made from a requisitioned school ruler from a beloved child. The main thing is that the width of the plates made with your own hands should be no less than the thickness of the double-glazed window, and during installation one of the edges of the plate does not rest against the inside of the glass, otherwise the double-glazed window may crack.

You can move the sash profile away from the double-glazed window with the same chisel, placing a plastic spacer under the chisel from the side of the glass. Do not be too zealous, first move the sash away from the double-glazed window by 3 mm and try to close the window. If not enough, then another 3 mm.

After reading our article, it seems that any man can repair plastic windows on his own at home, but, unfortunately, we had clients who, after reading tips on the Internet on how to adjust plastic windows with their own hands, put a hex wrench into the top hinge mount and after turning the key, the sash flew down to the floor. Consequences - broken double-glazed window and sash profile.

Therefore, if you are sure that you understand exactly in which direction, and which adjusting screw must be turned in order to increase the clamping of the fittings, then the attempt is not torture, but saving money on a simple repair of plastic windows is commendable.

If you cannot adjust the windows yourself, then contact our window repair service center. Our experienced craftsmen are always ready to fix any damage or defect of your window!

Replacement of fittings in plastic windows

Most Moscow apartments have modern and high-quality double-glazed windows that meet all the requirements, but plastic window manufacturers often save on the cost of fittings, which leads to malfunctions of the mechanism and its failure.

Window fittings, thanks to which windows open, are subject to the greatest loads, therefore, sooner or later, apartment owners face the question of bringing window mechanisms to normal working condition. This problem is solved in two ways: repair, or complete replacement of PVC window fittings.

Need to repair or replace hardware

If your double-glazed windows have served you for quite a long time, and adjustment no longer helps, it's time to think about replacing the mechanisms. Replacing the fittings of plastic windows is not an easy task, so it is better to entrust it to specialists. It is not recommended to perform these works on your own, due to the mass of nuances and subtleties, which can only be understood with experience.

Our window company has been successfully operating in the window installation and maintenance market for a long time. All our employees are highly qualified and are well acquainted with the features of window systems of all manufacturers. After the completion of the work, we provide a long-term guarantee for all types of work performed.

Repair of window hardware or its replacement is required if your windows have the following problems:

  • the sashes do not close tightly, a draft penetrates into the apartment through the remaining cracks;
  • in winter, windows may partially freeze;
  • plastic windows lose sound insulation.

A more serious violation of the integrity of structures, such as the penetration of dust and moisture, indicates a neglected problem with the mechanism, or a poor-quality design of the windows themselves.

Only an experienced specialist can determine the cause of the malfunction, who can make an accurate “diagnosis” and determine the list of necessary actions. In some cases, the repair of plastic window fittings will help to solve the problem, which will be much cheaper than replacement.

If the fittings are worn out and cannot be adjusted, they will have to be replaced. But in any case, the price of replacing fittings in plastic windows is incomparable with the price of installing new windows!

Typical hardware failures

A comprehensive replacement of fittings is far from always needed and, often, local actions can be dispensed with. According to statistics, most of the problems in a plastic window are associated with sagging of the sash, the ingress of dust and dirt into the mechanism, as well as the failure of individual parts of the fittings - an experienced craftsman will need only a few minutes to eliminate these malfunctions.

The locking mechanism is also able to affect the operation of the window handle, its functionality is restored through adjustment.

The next item to pay attention to is the window hinges. During operation, the hinges become loose and need to be adjusted or replaced.

Due to their low price, this service will not greatly affect the final cost of replacing window fittings. When choosing the mechanism itself, it is better to give preference to a brand that has established itself as a quality product.

The locking mechanism may also fail if your windows have a winter ventilation function.

In our work, we use locking window fittings of the world's leading brands, which serves as a guarantee of flawless and long-term operation of your windows. Products of these brands are wear-resistant, resistant to moisture, corrosion, chemicals.

The fittings are designed in such a way as to make the use of the window as comfortable and safe as possible - all elements work smoothly, while ensuring reliable locking of the structure for additional protection of your home.

As with any job, there are several basic steps:

Stage 1. Calling a specialist. Call us by phone or leave a request on the site with a description of the problem.

Stage 2. Drawing up an estimate for the planned types of work. The cost of repairing window sashes in Moscow consists of the cost of the components themselves and the work necessary for their installation. Thanks to cooperation with leading wholesale suppliers of fittings, we have the opportunity to change fittings at low prices.

Stage 3. You choose a convenient date and time for the departure of our masters. In a number of simple cases, when working with fittings is reduced only to adjusting mechanisms, one person is enough. In the event that the replacement of PVC window fittings must be carried out on several sashes at once, two specialists are required for this.

Stage 4. After the completion of the work, an acceptance certificate is signed, which indicates all types of work performed and the warranty period for the newly installed mechanisms.

Additional window repair services

When ordering plastic windows, apartment owners sometimes save on additional finishing, since the prices for some accessories are very high in a number of companies. We offer such types of work as:

  • installation of PVC slopes on plastic windows;
  • installation of window sills;
  • replacement of mosquito nets.

If the plastic window itself has become unusable, and a new one is required, then the cost of fittings when replacing the plastic window will be calculated at a reduced rate.

When the window hardware fails or is completely broken, it will need to be replaced. Such work is almost impossible to do on your own. The hardware replacement service is not the cheapest. Since it includes the departure of the master, the fittings themselves and work on replacing them.

Now there is a large selection of accessories, which differ in price and quality. Fittings of one type can be installed on any plastic profile. Therefore, sometimes people who have established not cheap windows, for example, REHAU, are surprised that it has broken. But it all depends on the window assembly plant. As a rule, factories using well-known brands of profiles install branded fittings on them. Of course, expensive accessories can break.

The first is a more budgetary and simpler option (installation and use), as it consists of two / three parts; the second system is more complex and consists, in some cases, of as many as 10 components. The third one is used in fanlight opening windows (for example, basement).

Free consultation and call of the master by phone:

Scrolling window handle

The first indicator that plastic window fittings cannot be repaired is a scrolling handle.

When the window handle scrolls around its axis, this is an indicator that the fittings have broken. The gearbox, which drives the entire mechanism, crumbled. This can happen due to the service life or from a large load on the fittings themselves. This can happen due to:

  • Sash not adjusted correctly.
  • Lots of gripping parts.
  • The sash has sagged.
  • The lock was not lubricated in a timely manner.
  • Ingress of construction debris.

In such cases, the mechanism wedges and the load is transferred to the gearbox. Efforts at closing of the handle break a reducer. Since it is riveted, it cannot be repaired.




Hinge replacement for PVC windows

Very often, PVC windows are torn off their hinges. Reasons for this:

  • Large sash weight (wide sash).
  • Incorrect opening / closing of the sash.
  • Late hardware maintenance.

  • More often this problem occurs on plastic doors. Very important! If the windows are more than 5 years old, then the old-style mechanism is definitely installed on them. Details for them are almost impossible to find. And in this case, you will have to completely change the entire trim of the window.

    Window opening mechanisms are very reliable, with proper care they can last 20-25 years.

    The window can be upgraded for ease of use by adding to the design:

    • Opening limiter.
    • Balcony door latch (opening latch).
    • Child lock (opening limiter).
    • Anti-hacking mechanisms.


    Contacting our company:

    • You get a 10% discount on services for the replacement of accessories from 3 or more pieces;
    • We will consult you for FREE on the choice of fittings and carry out diagnostics;
    • The master will come to the diagnostics on the day of the call.
