Can window locks be repaired?
The simple answer to this question is YES! Almost all problems with damaged window locks can be repaired.
In most cases, the problem will be with the window’s locking mechanism. Your window locks will usually be one of the following types:
Shoot bolt locks
Sash fasteners
Multi-point locks
Shoot bolt locks and sash fasteners are simple mechanism with only a few moving parts. A problem with these locks is easy to identify and can be fixed quickly with a replacement part.
Repairing multi-point window locks
Most modern uPVC windows are fitted with multi-point locking systems. These fit inside the window profile and are attached at several points.
If a uPVC multi-point locks fails, it will usually need replacing. The best way to do this is to remove the old lock and replace with a similar type of new lock.
If the problem is with the handle, however, a new component may be all that is needed to repair the window lock.
