FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll typically need a screwdriver and possibly a measuring tape to verify dimensions.

How do I measure the backset?

The backset is the distance from the front of the gearbox to the center of the spindle (where the handle attaches). Measure this distance carefully.

Can this mechanism be used on wooden windows?

No, this mechanism is specifically designed for uPVC windows only.

What kind of lubricant should I use?

Use a light, non-corrosive lubricant suitable for window mechanisms.

How do I remove the old gearbox?

Remove the screws securing the gearbox to the window frame and the espag rod. Then, carefully slide out the old mechanism.

What if I don't know the brand of my window?

Carefully measure the screw hole centers and the backset to ensure compatibility. Examine the existing mechanism for any identifying marks or logos.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to lock or unlock.

Check for obstructions, such as misaligned parts or debris. Lubricate the mechanism with a suitable lubricant.

Mechanism feels stiff or hard to operate.

Lubricate the moving parts of the mechanism. Check for any damage to the espag rod or other components.

The gearbox doesn't fit properly.

Double-check the measurements (screw hole centers and backset) to ensure they match your existing mechanism. Ensure you have the correct type of espag rod.
