FAQ
Fixing a stiff window hinge involves a few steps:
Identify the Cause: Determine why the hinge is stiff. It could be due to paint buildup, rust, or general wear and tear.
Clean the Hinge: If there's paint buildup or dirt, use a brush or a toothbrush to clean the hinge thoroughly. Ensure all surfaces are free from debris.
Lubricate the Hinge: Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a special hinge lubricant to the moving parts of the hinge. Be sure to lubricate both the top and bottom sections.
Check for Rust: If rust is present, use a rust dissolver or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to remove it. Once clean, lubricate the hinge.
Tighten Screws: Check if any screws are loose and tighten them. If a screw is stripped, you may need to replace it with a slightly larger one.
Test the Window: After cleaning, lubricating, and tightening, test the window to ensure the hinge operates smoothly.
If the hinge remains stiff, it might be a sign of more significant issues, and consulting a professional window repair service is recommended.
Several factors could contribute to a uPVC window not closing properly:
Misalignment: Over time, the window frame or the sash may become misaligned, preventing proper closure. This can happen due to settling of the building or changes in temperature.
Hinge Issues: If the hinges are damaged, rusted, or misaligned, they can impact the smooth operation of the window, preventing it from closing correctly.
Lock Problems: Issues with the locking mechanism, such as a misaligned or faulty lock, can hinder the closing of the uPVC window.
Seal Deterioration: The rubber gasket or weatherstripping around the window may deteriorate, leading to air leaks and difficulty in closing the window tightly.
Frame Distortion: If the uPVC frame is warped or distorted, it can affect the alignment of the window components, making closure difficult.
To address the problem, you might consider checking for visible issues, such as misaligned frames or damaged hinges. If the cause is not apparent, seeking the assistance of a professional window repair service is advisable. They can accurately diagnose the issue and provide the necessary repairs to ensure your uPVC window closes properly.
