ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Window hardware wears out over time, loses its seal, and stops performing its functions. This is especially noticeable when the sash no longer presses tightly against the frame, drafts appear, condensation forms on the glass, and ventilation is only possible by fully opening the window. The solution is to replace standard pivot hardware with tilt-turn hardware featuring a "winter-summer" function. This modernization transforms an ordinary fixed or pivot window into a multifunctional structure: the sash can tilt for micro-ventilation from above, and the pressure mode allows you to adjust the force of the sash clamp depending on the season. In Tbilisi, where the climate features mild winters and hot summers, such a mechanism is particularly relevant: in winter you prevent heat loss, in summer you ensure comfortable air intake. Humidity in the city near the Mtkvari River is often high, and improper hardware adjustment can lead to mold appearing on the slopes. Professional installation of a set of components — rods, scissors, main lock, response plates, and cams — makes it possible to fine-tune the sash pressure around the perimeter. Only certified systems from German or Turkish brands are used (Roto, Winkhaus, Maco, Kale), compatible with your window profile. I perform work with on-site visits throughout Tbilisi — from the Vake and Saburtalo districts to Avlabari and the Old City. On-site visit and diagnosis are free. Warranty on work is 1 year. Savings on heating and a comfortable microclimate in your apartment or office — that's what you get.
HOW IT WORKS
WHAT IS INCLUDED
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will the hardware fit plastic windows of any manufacturer?
Most modern PVC windows have a standard European groove depth of 13 or 15 mm, so universal sets from Roto or Maco are suitable. For older windows (before the 2000s) or non-standard profiles, selection by catalog is required — this can be determined during diagnosis.
How long does replacement take per sash?
On average 40-60 minutes. If additional hinge adjustment or groove fitting is required — up to 90 minutes. Work is performed on-site with minimal dust and debris.
What should I do if the window closes worse after hardware replacement?
This indicates improper adjustment. Most often — sash skewing or incorrect cam position. Invite a specialist for re-adjustment: under warranty I'll correct this free of charge. You can independently check if the incorrect action blocker is interfering.
Can a tilt mechanism be installed on a fixed window?
Technically yes, but it will require routing hinges and locks into the profile. This is only possible for PVC windows with appropriate reinforcement. I assess the structure on-site — if the profile allows, I install the complete set.
Which pressure mode is better to choose for summer in Tbilisi?
In summer I recommend weak or neutral pressure to avoid seal deformation from expansion at high temperature. This also facilitates ventilation. In winter, switch to reinforced mode for heat savings.
Does hardware replacement affect sound insulation?
Indirectly yes. Tight sash pressure (winter mode) reduces gaps, which lowers outside noise level by 3-5 dB. However, the main sound insulation depends on the thickness of the glass unit and seal quality.
Which hardware is better — German or Turkish?
German hardware (Roto, Winkhaus) stands out for its long service life (up to 100,000 cycles), smooth operation, and precise adjustment. Turkish hardware (Kale, FSM) is cheaper but comparable in quality to the mid-price range. I use both — the choice depends on your budget and window type.
Is there a warranty on the work?
Yes, I provide a 1-year warranty on all work and components. If problems with adjustment or sticking occur within a year — I visit free of charge. Components have their own warranty period from the manufacturer (usually 2-5 years).
EXPERT TIPS
- 💡 Check the condition of the seal before replacing hardware: if it has hardened or cracked, order a replacement at the same time — otherwise the pressure won't be airtight.
- 💡 Adjust the cam pressure twice a year — in spring and fall. It takes a minute (4 mm hex wrench), but extends the life of the seal and reduces heat loss.
- 💡 After installing new hardware, don't lubricate mechanisms with thick oils — they clog the grooves. Use silicone lubricant or WD-40.
- 💡 Don't apply excessive force when turning the handle: if it sticks, the blocker hasn't disengaged or the sash is skewed. Call a specialist — a broken handle may require replacing the entire lock.
- 💡 If your area (for example, Didube) often experiences power outages and humidity fluctuations, I recommend installing an additional protective plate against sash sagging.
- 💡 When modernizing several windows, do them sequentially — this way the specialist can set a uniform pressure level and synchronize the mechanisms.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Technically, replacing hardware with tilt-turn having a "winter-summer" mode requires precise fitting of all elements. Main components: main lock (latch plate), cams (eccentrics), scissors (upper rod), lower hinge, response plates, and an incorrect action blocker (stops the handle when the sash is in the wrong position). Cams are marked for the "winter" position (reinforced pressure), "summer" (reduced), and "neutral". It's important that the hardware is matched with the profile type — for PVC, wood, or aluminum, mechanisms differ in groove depth and mounting pitch. A typical mistake in self-replacement is incorrect installation of the scissors (the desired tilt angle is not achieved, the sash can fall out) or incorrect pressure adjustment (excessive force breaks the seal, insufficient leaves a gap). Before purchase, I take measurements: sash width and height, profile type (system, manufacturer, depth). During installation, I disassemble the old hardware, clean the grooves, install new mechanisms on self-tapping screws, adjust gaps, and regulate the hinges. I check the smooth operation of the handle, absence of skewing when tilting, and tight sealing around the perimeter in both modes. Average work time is 40-60 minutes per sash. The price includes all necessary components and labor. After installation, I provide recommendations for seasonal re-adjustment: in summer, cams in neutral position, in winter — in reinforced pressure mode. This extends the life of the seal and reduces heat loss by up to 30%. If profile defects are detected (cracks, warping), I provide additional consultation — replacing hardware on a deformed frame is ineffective.
WHY CHOOSE THIS MASTER
«Replacing window hardware is not just about installing a mechanism, it's about adjusting comfort in your home. Properly adjusted winter-summer pressure actually saves on heating and eliminates condensation. In Tbilisi, with its humid air, this is especially noticeable. Trust your windows to a professional — and they will serve you well.»
