Window Lock Repair
ordinary mechanical window locks, catches and compatible household hardware
Common causes can include normal wear in accessible moving hardware, loose compatible fixings or adjustment points and movement, dirt or damage around the relevant hardware. The actual cause is reviewed from the item and surrounding condition rather than assumed from the service name.
Check the mechanical lock type, sash alignment and compatible replacement options before changing a component. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
Ordinary mechanical window lock and catch work only. No emergency access, security screens, glazing, electronic alarms or certification. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
Send photos of the lock, catch, handle, sash edge and the window closed from inside and outside where safe. Keep the immediate work area accessible and identify tenancy, access or material restrictions before scheduling.
