It is difficult to imagine something more convenient in terms of maintenance and use than a plastic window. UPVC products keep the house warm and cosy. You’ll hardly ever find a building where this modern miracle doesn’t exist. It would seem, there can be nothing more reliable than a plastic structure.

But over time, everything eventually wears out. Lock mechanisms and plastic profiles are no exception. Are you experiencing fogging and draft coming through the window? Then it’s time to call the repairman, and the sooner, the better.

The replacement of protective fittings on already installed UPVC windows is carried out in several steps:

• Tempered glass is inserted into the UPVC frame. A special protective film can be used as an alternative.
• Next step is to open the transom and check the manufacturer’s stamp on it. Accessories from another company will not work because the holes for fasteners must match.
• Dimensions of the existing fittings must be measured and recorded. Burglar-resistant window locks hardware is selected based on the data.
• Protective caps, as well as the pin installed in the upper hinge, are removed to take off the window.
• Sash is laid on a flat surface; all accessories are removed with a screwdriver.
• Next, the fittings are taken off the frame. At this point, it is a good idea to sketch a layout of the main window mechanisms so that nothing is confused when installing new locks. Mark the places of contact points on the frame and sash.
• Corner mechanisms must be placed first. The main drive is attached next. Its fixation is carried out in the open position. If the accessory rail is greater than the required length, then the excess end is cut off on one side.
• All parts must be lubricated with oil before installing sash and frame hinges.
• Correct operation is checked after hanging the sash on the frame. If it requires force to turn the handle, there might be an error in measurements. It will be necessary to dismantle the parts, re-measure and install them again. Otherwise, the last step is to put in place additional support points and an overlay on the handle. If the window opens and closes freely, the installation is complete.

Before installing the locking mechanism, you need to decide on its resistance class which affects the complexity of the work.

Burglar-proof systems will work if you entrust the job to professionals that know how to install fittings and adjust them, understand all the subtleties of process and can recommend you a rational solution.
