Very interesting subject locksmith Bow, would be great if someone had a small UPVC window that had been removed/old so as a possible vid could be made.
The mechanism and follower are all in bits, completely shot so can't even wedge the window open a little to manipulate the rollers and bolts. I think this is a case of a bit of destruction then a new window and it's passed any form of opening? When you do get the window mechanism take a photo would like to see how the espac disintegrated? And fell apart if poss. Defect or wear and tear, corrosion may be learn from it, How to open something like that if it happens again. Am going to have a rummage around the local double glazing companies skip tomorrow to try and find an old window frame and window. Couldn't get a picture as I have passed over the job to a mate who replaces UPVC windows. Basically it appeared that the mechanism had split into two causing the bottom bolt to fall into the keep. Because it had split it had also caused the bottom rollers and side shoot bolts to completely seize up. The frame was 'air tight' and it was a small window, so any force would have just broken the frame and/or glass.
Didn't want to risk that and end up having to board up. I could have removed the glass then drilled through the bottom frame section to try and manipulate things open, but because of the amount of bolts and rollers (seven in all) it would have been too messy a job. It was also almost impossible to get into a position to do this because of the windows location and size. A nightmare but you having just got rid, and I have just got the problem given to me have got a 3ft window espag mechanism rounded off and the spindle just spins, when I open the window I will keep the damaged mechanism and see what photos can be taken to show and learn from it all good fun. Just would like to know what pitfalls there are in fitting twist and turn window mechanisms have come across 2 windows that have rusted bottom hinges so i am going to try and get the hinges replaced, having taken the old ones off because they snapped with the rust.
Locksmith Bow made the windows secure and safe by locking the handle and putting a sash jammer in the place of the bottom hinge to stop the window from opening. but having never fitted the whole mechanism to a twist and turn window, just wanted some comments if I have to replace the whole system. I have eased and adjusted twist and turn mechanisms before a few times so have a little knowledge of how they operate and work. A long time since I did one of them but I remember it was a bit of a 'mare'! I know it was easier to refit than get the vent out in the first place. It always takes a few openings and closings for me to get in my head how the hinges work. Sure that the locksmith Bow team has done a few of these though? |
