Window Crank & Hinge Replacement in Oshawa

Before colder weather arrived, we repaired windows at an Oshawa property by replacing all non-working crank mechanisms and the upper and lower hinges included in the job. The work was completed on September 30, 2026.

All three photos show the existing hardware before repair. Completed-work photos are not included.

Replaced non-working crank mechanisms and upper and lower hinges

The Problem

Several window mechanisms were heavily corroded and no longer working properly.
Some were awkward to access, as the customer noted in their review.
The goal was to repair the affected windows before colder weather.

How We Fixed It

We replaced all non-working window crank mechanisms and upper and lower hinges included in this repair.
The crank mechanisms operate the opening windows, while the separate hinges support and guide the sash.
The work addressed the faulty hardware in the existing windows.

Final Result

The non-working mechanisms and hinges were replaced, and the windows were repaired ahead of colder weather. In the linked Google review, I Soutter described the result as very good.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was replaced in this Oshawa project?

We replaced all non-working window crank mechanisms and the upper and lower hinges included in the repair. The work was completed on September 30, 2026, ahead of colder weather.

Does a broken window crank mean the whole window needs replacing?

Not necessarily. We inspect the window and its hardware to determine whether replacing the faulty mechanism is a suitable repair. The condition of the window and availability of compatible parts affect the recommendation.

Do the photos show the completed repair?

No. These three photos show the existing hardware before repair. The project description records the completed work, and the linked Google review contains the customer’s feedback.
