Window Frame Alignment Tips > 자유게시판

Properly fixing window frames is an essential process in replacing new frames to ensure smooth and quiet operation. Misaligned units can cause the window to stick crooked, stick on the frame, or even get stuck. Fortunately, aligning window frames is a relatively simple process that demands some patience and focus to detail.

First, start by extracting the window from the frame and inspecting the pins. Check if the hinges are damaged, twisted, or broken, which can make alignment more challenging. Clean the pins and surrounding areas to ensure a smooth operation.

Next, remove any existing hinge screws to achieve access to the hinges. Use a screw extractor to avoid damaging the hinges. If the pins are broken, consider upgrading them with new ones.

To fix the frames, place the window back in its unit and use a level to ensure it's properly adjusted. Make sure the window is square before proceeding. You can use shims or small supports to secure the window temporarily.

• Use a screw extractor to help guide the frames into the correct alignment.
