Is your window not closing properly? Feeling a cold draught or noticing a gap along the edge? The problem is likely with the window hinges. At Jcarter Locksmiths, we specialise in diagnosing and replacing faulty window hinges on uPVC, aluminium and timber windows, restoring proper function and energy efficiency — quickly and affordably.
If your window isn’t sitting or sealing properly, faulty hinges could be to blame. Typical signs include:
Gaps appearing between the sash and the frame
Draughts or cold air leaking in
Window not closing flush or needing to be pushed hard
Window catching on the frame when opening
Visible damage or rust on the hinge arms
These issues are especially common on older uPVC windows where the hinges have worn or become bent over time.
We offer a full diagnosis and replacement service for broken or worn-out window hinges, including:
Full hinge replacement (top hung or side hung)
Realignment of window to frame
Sealing and draught-proofing improvements
Replacements for standard and fire escape hinges
Work on all window types – uPVC, aluminium and wood
