We use precise tools to align new hinges exactly where needed. Proper alignment ensures smooth opening and closing. We secure hinges firmly, so they do not loosen over time or with frequent use.
We also adjust hinges for optimal tension or friction when required. This balances ease of movement with secure window positioning. Cleanup after installation is thorough, leaving your space clean.

Our Hinge Repair Process
1. Diagnostic Assessment
First, we carefully inspect the window hinges to identify the exact issue. This includes checking for wear, rust, loose screws, or bent parts. We also test how the window opens and closes to see if the hinges cause sticking or misalignment.
We examine the frame and surrounding areas too. Sometimes, damage near the hinge points affects their function. This helps us decide if we need repair or full replacement of the hinges.
3. Quality Assurance
After the repair, we test the window multiple times. We open and close it fully to check smooth movement and solid hold. We also inspect the screws and hinges again for tightness.
We look for any gaps or drafts around the window edges. If needed, we fine-tune the hinges or frame to prevent air leaks. Finally, we clean the work area and leave the window ready for use.
2. Hinge Repair
Once we know the problem, we start by removing the damaged hinges gently. This prevents harm to the window frame. We then clean the area, taking off old paint, rust, and debris to ensure the new parts fit well.
Next, we install new or repaired hinges precisely. We tighten screws to the right level, making sure the window opens smoothly without sagging or gaps. We adjust alignment so the window is secure and energy-efficient.
