How It Works

Identify the window and lock type

Double-hung, casement, and slider windows each use different latch hardware.

Paint buildup or corrosion is cleared so the mechanism can move freely again.

Where the latch itself is damaged, we repair or replace just that hardware.

We confirm the window locks fully and seals properly against the frame.
