Single & Double-Hung Window Repair in Toronto & GTA
A sash that drops, sticks or refuses to stay open often needs hardware repair rather than immediate window replacement. We inspect the hung-window movement and identify the balance, pivot, tilt or alignment issue affecting operation.
Why a Hung Window Will Not Stay Open
A sash that falls, drifts, sticks or refuses to remain open can indicate a balance, pivot, tilt-hardware or alignment problem. The exact cause is confirmed by checking the sash movement and visible hardware.
Balances, Pivots, Tilt Latches and Sash Hardware
This service focuses on hardware used by single- and double-hung windows, including balances, pivots, tilt latches and related sash components. Crank, casement and sliding-window hardware are handled on their own service pages.
Repair the Hardware or Replace the Window?
Hardware repair may be appropriate when the sash and opening remain suitable and the failed component can be identified. Complete replacement may be considered when the condition found extends beyond a practical hardware repair.
How We Restore Sash Movement
We review photos and symptoms, assess sash movement and hardware, confirm the approved component repair or replacement, and check opening, closing and the ability to remain in position after service.
Hung Window Repair FAQ
Why will my window sash not stay open?
A balance, pivot, tilt component or alignment issue may be involved. The sash movement and visible hardware need to be checked before the cause is confirmed.
What can cause a single- or double-hung window to stick or drop?
Balance failure, pivot or tilt-hardware problems and alignment can produce similar symptoms. The opening is assessed to identify the actual scope.
Can window balances, pivots or tilt latches be repaired?
These components can be assessed for repair or replacement when they can be identified and the rest of the window remains suitable.
When is window replacement a better option than hardware repair?
Replacement may be considered when the condition extends beyond a practical hardware repair or the sash and opening are not suitable for the component work.
Do you repair both single-hung and double-hung windows?
Yes. DoorWin assesses both single- and double-hung windows when the problem involves balances, pivots, tilt hardware or sash movement.
What photos should I send for a hung-window repair quote?
Send the full window, the sash in its problem position, close-ups of visible balances, pivots or tilt hardware, and a note describing the movement.
