Why Window Handle Maintenance is Essential
Stiff or loose window handles can indicate larger issues with your windows, such as potential draughts or water leaks around the edges. For your window frames to remain secure, it’s crucial to address these issues as soon as possible.
Here are some common signs that your window handles need attention:
- Loose or Drooping Handles: Handles that don’t sit properly can make it difficult to secure your windows.
- Stiff Operation: If turning the handle feels like a workout, it may be time for a repair.
- Handles That Won’t Turn: A handle that refuses to engage can leave your window insecure.
- Broken or Snapped Window Handles: A handle that has come off entirely needs immediate attention to restore functionality.
- Bent Window Handles: Bent handles can cause further damage to the window mechanism if not addressed.
- Failure to Close Securely: If your window won’t lock properly, it can leave your home vulnerable.
- Discolouration: A handle that looks faded or brittle is likely aging and may need replacing.
If you’ve lost the key to a locking handle or suspect the locking mechanism is jammed, our team can assist with that too!
