Broken Glass

Double glazing window locks may wear out over time. The handles can become difficult to open or close. This can cause issues with ventilation in the house and can also be a security risk. It is essential to get the window repaired as quickly as possible.

Double glazed windows are made up of two or three panes of glass that have gas between them to provide insulation as well as an elastomer seal that holds the panes joined. Having condensation in between the glass panes can be an indication of an issue with one of these seals, which will need to be replaced. This usually involves replacing only one pane of glass which is much less costly than replacing the entire glass window.

A blow-up seal inside windows with double glazing usually causes cloudiness and condensation. This can result from a range of causes, including air leaks, or the presence of moisture in the home. As soon as you notice the issue, you need to contact a double-glazing expert to repair the gas seal and seal in your double-glazed windows.


It is possible to replace just one pan of double-glazed glass. However, this is not recommended without the assistance of a specialist. It is important to have the proper tools and knowledge in order to do the job safely. You could damage the window frame or your health if you attempt to do it yourself.

A lot of people use a crowbar to try and open their double-glazed window when it's stuck, but it will typically cause the window frame to be damaged and swollen. A window specialist will be able to take off the handle and open your window without causing further damage. They can also change obsolete window mechanisms to new modern mechanisms.

Window hinges are prone to becoming stiff and difficult to open after a while especially when they are in a noisy location. To prevent this from happening, it's a good idea to grease the hinges on a regular basis using silicone spray. Do not close the window using the handles or closing it heavily. This can damage the hinges.

Broken Sash

This is a common problem for older double glazing windows. If the upper sash has fallen out of its pocket, it could be hard to lock it and open the window. This is usually because the pins are not engaged, or a balance shoe is been disconnected. Each sash is unique and therefore it is essential to know how yours are configured before you attempt to fix the issue.

It can be resolved by removing the sash, and then cleaning it thoroughly. This will also show whether the sash is an appropriate match. If not, you'll have to add sash stops to help keep it in place. They are available at most hardware stores or online. After cleaning the sash you can replace the parting beads and lubricate the pulley axles by using Teflon or silicon spray. It's a good idea to label the weights before you take them off so that you can put them back in correctly.

Another issue that is common is a damaged handle. It's difficult to tell if your window handle is broken however there are a few signs. If the handle is stiff or clunky or if it doesn't feel secure, it's probably broken.

It could be due to a simple lack of use, but it's possible that the handle has cracked or become detached. In some cases the handle could be broken internally and unable to be repaired. However, it's still worthwhile to attempt to fix the problem as soon as is possible.

To take off the window sash you might need to take off hinges that attach it to the frame. This can be a challenging job, so it's important to have someone to hold the sash in place and ensure it is steady. After removing the hinges, it is necessary to clean the area around them. Reattaching the hinges is also a good idea. You can test the handle and verify if it is working correctly. If it doesn't, you may want to look into replacing it. This will ensure that your window is as secure as is possible.

Broken Handle

It is not common for a window handle to break or deteriorate over time. It's important to repair any damaged handles as quickly as possible in order to avoid security and functional issues.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to change a window handle. As opposed to a sash that requires multiple bolts to secure, the window handle is secured by two screws which makes it a straightforward DIY project for anyone with a bit of know-how. Once the new handle has been put installed, it is important to test it to make sure the mechanisms are functioning correctly. This should include locking the handle and checking for any gaps that could let in drafts or allow potential thieves to gain access to your home.

A common reason for a window handle that is broken is that it's simply damaged from use over and over again. A broken handle can be the result of excessive stress or force. A window that is smashed or forced open can put additional stress on the handle and increase the likelihood of injury, so it's best to complete all handling operations carefully and gently.

Other reasons for a broken hand include inadequate maintenance or aging, or design issues. A lack of regular cleaning and lubrication can cause the handle to wear down quickly, and this is often the result of dirt or other debris that accumulates over time. The handle could be damaged because of improper installation or alignment issues.

If the fixes previously mentioned aren't working then the Tasker might need to gain access to and remove the lock mechanism itself. This may involve removing the frame or breaking out the existing window frame and plastic bead (to allow more room for wiggle room). The replacement lock can then be installed to match the shape of your uPVC handle. After this is completed the new handle will be re-affixed and the process is complete. If this is the case then the Tasker will offer a quote for the repair costs.

A faulty Lock

When window locks become damaged, it's crucial to fix the issue immediately. A damaged window could cause drafts, weaken security barriers and expose your home to burglary. Window lock repair is typically not a major task, however it's better to have an expert handle the issue before it becomes worse and costs more money in the long run.

UPVC window handles come in two styles: cockspur handles and espagnolette handles. The first makes use of a central rod that operates the locking cams, which are shaped like mushrooms, that secure into window frame keepers. The latter comes with a handle attached to a spindle, which is inserted into the rod to activate the lock's cams that resemble mushrooms, also known as locking mushrooms. The latch of the lock then clips into the mortise of a window frame's catches.

Both kinds of UPVC window locks are prone to damage, especially in older homes. The damage can occur when the sash is warped or misaligned, and it may even come loose. In these instances the lock has to be replaced in order to stop draughts and loss of energy efficiency. Tasker can repair the faulty lock for you, providing you with assurance that your windows are secure from intruders.

The first thing a Tasker will do to fix your double glazing window lock is to look it over and find the issue. Once they have all the information they need, they will make their tools ready and visit your home. They'll typically bring a Phillips-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, wood putty and fine-grit sandpaper.

Tasker must loosen screws that hold both locks on the window frame, if the sash is not aligned correctly. They'll then take the latch off, then fill the mounting holes with wood putty (if applicable) and sand the area until it's smooth with the frame of the window.

If the lock is rusted, it is cleaned using an oil or wire brush. It will then be lubricated with grease to ensure it works smoothly. They'll also check if the latch is in good condition and re-install it.
