Posted in Window Parts, on September 17, 2021
After several years of usage, aging residential and commercial windows may start to break down, causing various problems around your property. In fact, when windows falter, indoor comfort can be compromised, safety and security could be affected, and the aesthetic appeal could be diminished.

By noticing the signs and symptoms of a faltering window, you can easily identify a specific problem, find the corresponding Amesbury TRUTH window parts, and undertake the needed repair work. Installing Amesbury TRUTH window hardware will ensure the best possible fix for your window.
Here are 3 Signs Your Window Needs Repair:
Drafts Coming Through
If there are cracks or gaps in your windows, there's definitely air leakage. A well-functioning window is not supposed to permit air flow when closed, if it does it can ruin your indoor temperature control and cost you more on monthly utility bills. If you need help detecting a draft from your window, you can do an easy “draft test” whereby an open flame will determine the source and extent of outdoor air coming into the home. While drafts may be a result of the original window installation, it’s quite often the case that window hardware is at fault. And here, re-installing quality window hardware could be the answer to resolving undesirable drafts.
Not Locking / Opening
Most windows come with handles, latches, or cranks. When these components are getting stuck or strained, they may be affecting the “open and close” cycle. If there are problems opening, closing, or locking your windows, it may be time for parts replacement. These are not uncommon issues and are often due to rusting or hardware decomposition. Replacing these parts with high-quality hardware like Amesbury TRUTH Window Hardware can bring windows back to performance.
Damaged Hardware
Over time, conventional window hardware can be damaged or even broken. When windows are not opening or closing correctly, the window crank may be compromised. Other issues may involve the window hinges or locking mechanism. What's important is to assess the nature of the problem and make an effort to source the correct replacement part. So often, homeowners think that window replacement is required when the real remedy is a replacement part.
