Casement Windows

Unlike double-hung windows, casement windows hinge on one side and are open by a crank. Casement windows that won't close or open may be the result of a variety of issues. The most common cause is a warped window. This can cause the window to not function properly and could allow insects and water to enter your home. It is possible to fix this issue by using a few simple tools.

Begin by removing the paint that has been built up from the moving parts of hardware, and from any place where the sash should lap against or over the frame. Use a wire brush, or a chemical paint stripper that has been designed for use on metal. Make sure you wear protective eyewear and a mask when using a chemical stripper. If your window is made of wood clean it and sand away any caked-on paint. You may need to apply primer or wood filler prior to applying a new stain.

If your casement window features locks, make sure you check the mechanism for signs of worn gears or a bare crank shaft. If the handle works but the window won't shut take the setscrew off the operator arm. Then, you can file the shaft until it is flat. If the screw isn't able to be backed out it's time to call a professional.

If the window is leaking around the frame, you can attempt to stop it by applying weather stripping to the frame. Begin by locating the gaps in the jambs and marking them with a pencil. Remove the window and unscrew the hinge channel from the frame, relocating it to a gap 1/8 in. over from the mark and then filling the screw holes with epoxy (for vinyl windows) or wood filler (for wood windows).
