Common lock and handle problems.
Window handles and locking mechanisms work together. If the handle becomes loose, difficult to turn or stops operating the lock, the cause may be the handle itself, the internal mechanism or alignment elsewhere in the window.
The right repair starts by identifying which component has actually failed rather than assuming the complete window needs to be changed.
Can just the handle or lock be replaced?
In many cases, yes. Window handles and locking mechanisms are service items and can often be replaced independently of the frame and glass.
Because several faults can create similar symptoms, Bicton Glazing can inspect the window and identify whether the handle, mechanism, alignment or another component is responsible.
Security matters too.
A window that does not lock properly should not be ignored. Restoring the correct operation of the locking hardware can improve both usability and security.
Bicton Glazing aims to provide the proportionate repair that the window actually needs.
