Why the problem happens

Common causes

Sash misalignment

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

Hardware wear

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.

Loose fixings

We check for loose fixings when assessing the window lock. The condition of the supporting structure and connected hardware helps determine the repair.

Our approach

How we handle the repair

Inspect sash alignment

We examine the window lock, its surrounding components and the reported symptoms to understand how the fault presents in normal use.

Identify lock type

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

Repair or replace suitable parts

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

Test secure closing

Clearances, fixings and operating positions are adjusted so the window lock can move and engage as intended.

Repair or replace?

Should your window lock be repaired or replaced?

Repair may be practical when the main structure remains serviceable and the problem involves alignment, accessible hardware or replaceable operating components.
