Types of Hinges We Repair and Replace

We work with many kinds of window hinges to ensure smooth operation and lasting strength. Our focus is on hinges that fit different window styles and materials, so your windows open, close, and stay secure.

Residential Window Hinges

In homes, we commonly repair and replace butt hinges, casement hinges, and pivot hinges. Butt hinges are found on standard windows and are easy to replace when they wear out or rust. Casement hinges allow windows to swing outward and often need precise fitting to prevent leaks or drafts.

Pivot hinges are used in some older or custom style windows, allowing rotation. We make sure these hinges align properly to avoid window sagging or difficulty in opening. We also handle hinges made of materials like brass or stainless steel to match your window’s look.

Commercial Window Hinges

Commercial windows often use stronger hinges to support heavier glass and larger frames. We repair continuous hinges, also called piano hinges, which run the full length of the window for added support. These are key for heavy, frequent-use windows in offices or stores.

We also service multi-point locking hinges that secure windows at multiple spots, boosting security and weather resistance. Our work includes adjusting these hinges to maintain tight seals and smooth operation, important for energy efficiency in commercial buildings.

Specialty and Custom Hinges

Some windows require unique hinges that don’t fit standard types. We repair and replace concealed hinges for modern, minimal look windows. These hinges sit hidden and need careful handling during repairs to avoid damage.

We also handle heavy-duty specialty hinges for bay or garden windows. These hinges must support extra weight and sometimes need custom adjustments. Our team works with manufacturers or fabricates parts to make sure these custom hinges fit and function correctly.

Our Hinges Repair Process

We follow a clear, step-by-step approach to fix your window or door hinges. Each stage focuses on pinpointing the problem, making precise repairs or replacements, and checking that everything works perfectly.

Initial Assessment and Diagnosis

We start by closely examining the hinge and the surrounding area. Our team looks for damage, wear, rust, or misalignment. We also test how the window or door moves to understand if the issue is with the hinge or related parts.

During this inspection, we take measurements and note the hinge type to know the exact repair or replacement needed. We keep you informed about what we find and explain the necessary steps clearly before starting work.

Precision Repair and Replacement

After diagnosing, we carefully remove any damaged or worn hinges. We use tools designed for accuracy to avoid harming the frame or glass. Our team only installs hinges that match the original specifications for strength and fit.

If a hinge can be repaired, we tighten, lubricate, or adjust it precisely. For replacements, we choose parts that resist rust and wear to increase lifespan. We make sure the new or fixed hinge moves smoothly without squeaks or sticking.

Quality Assurance

Once the repair or replacement is done, we test the window or door multiple times. We check for smooth movement, tight closure, and stable support. Any small problems found are corrected immediately.

We also inspect the area for leftover debris or damage and clean it thoroughly. Finally, we review the work with you, making sure you’re satisfied with the result and the hinge functions properly.

Signs You Need Hinges Repair or Replacement

We often notice when a window does not move smoothly. One common sign is when it squeaks or creaks. This usually means the hinges are dry or damaged. If you see a window sagging or not closing properly, the hinges may be loose or worn out. This can cause gaps that let in drafts or moisture.

Another clear sign is when the hinges are rusty or visibly broken. Rust weakens the metal and can lead to failure. We also pay attention if the window makes a banging noise when closing. This might be because the hinges are misaligned or the pins are worn.

If your window feels stiff or hard to open, it could be a hinge problem. This affects how easily you can use them every day.

Here is a simple list of signs to watch for:

• Squeaking or creaking noises
• Sagging or misalignment
• Rust or broken parts on hinges
• Doors and windows not closing fully
• Stiff or difficult movement

Recognizing these signs helps you decide if a hinge repair or replacement is needed quickly. This keeps your windows working well and safe.
