Replaced the crank mechanism and side lock

The Problem

The window had two damaged hardware components: the crank/operator and the side lock.
The first photo shows the removed damaged side lock; the second shows the broken crank mechanism at the window.

How We Fixed It

We replaced the broken crank/operator and side lock in the existing window.
The crank operates the opening sash, while the side lock secures it in the closed position.
This job involved window hardware replacement on the 17th floor.

Final Result

The completed repair replaced both damaged components in the existing window: the crank mechanism and the side lock.
