Why the problem happens

Common causes

Repeated use

Repeated use wears contact surfaces, bearings and fixings. Checking the affected hardware helps determine whether adjustment or replacement is appropriate.

Corrosion

Melbourne weather, moisture and temperature changes can corrode hardware, affect materials and gradually reduce reliable movement.

Incorrect adjustment

Uneven clearances or an incorrect operating position can affect the window hardware. We check alignment and connected hardware before adjusting it.

Component fatigue

Repeated use wears contact surfaces, bearings and fixings. Checking the affected hardware helps determine whether adjustment or replacement is appropriate.

Our approach

How we handle the repair

Identify compatible hardware

Measurements and operating checks help isolate the actual cause rather than replacing parts based on assumption.

Remove failed component

The affected component or obstruction is removed carefully so its condition and any related wear can be properly assessed.

Fit and adjust replacement

Once the practical option is approved, suitable components are repaired or replaced and adjusted for the existing system.

Test full travel

We check the completed work under normal operating conditions, including the relevant movement, hardware or controls.

Repair or replace?

Should your window hardware be repaired or replaced?
