In this tutorial, I demonstrate a common method for adjusting a uPVC window sash (also known as a hopper or opener) to ensure it clears the window frame when installing a new window lock replacement. Sometimes, the locking cams on new locks can be slightly longer than the standard 8-9mm size, which may cause the lock to hit the frame.
What You'll Learn:
Step-by-step guidance on how to raise the window sash to prevent the new lock from hitting the frame.
Tips and techniques that work well for adjusting uPVC windows, although specific adjustments may vary from window to window.
If you're dealing with this issue during your lock replacement, this guide will show you how to fix it effectively.
Why Adjust Your uPVC Window Sash?
When replacing an older window lock with a new model, the longer locking cams may hit the frame, preventing smooth operation. By adjusting the sash, you can avoid damage and ensure the lock functions properly without interference.
