Window Lock Repairs in Peterlee

When a uPVC window will not lock or unlock properly, the cause is often the locking mechanism inside the opening part of the window. The handle turns a gearbox, and the gearbox moves bolts (shootbolts) into keeps on the frame. If the mechanism stops moving those bolts correctly, the handle may turn but the window does not lock, or it locks and will not open.

That was the fault on a recent Peterlee job: on two windows, the mechanisms were not working the shootbolts properly, so neither window would lock or unlock correctly. Both mechanisms were changed and tested, and the windows themselves stayed as they were. The job is listed under Recent Locksmith Jobs further down this page.

Other Window Faults

• Will not open: a failed mechanism is holding it; it is released without damage and replaced.
• Will not close tight or drags: worn hinges, replaced so the window sits square again.
• Loose or broken handle: replaced, with a lockable one if you want a key.
• Misted glass: a new sealed unit; see misted double glazing in Peterlee.
• Insecure after damage: call our emergency locksmith in Peterlee.
