Axor hardware adjustment. Hardware adjustment

The window blocks are equipped with highly reliable, easy-to-use fittings from leading manufacturers, which allow you to either open or tilt the window sash. To do this, just turn the locking knob in the desired direction. The degree of pressing the sash to the frame is adjustable both around the perimeter and locally. The design of reciprocal locking frames located on the frame along the perimeter provides free access to all adjustable points on the operated window.

In order to avoid increased stress on the seals and moving parts of the fittings, do not set an excessive degree of pressure. To avoid premature wear of fittings, all critical parts must be lubricated regularly. Reliability of fastening and wear of critical parts of fittings should be checked regularly. Tighten fixing screws or replace parts if necessary. In addition, it is advisable to carry out maintenance work at least once a year. All moving parts and constipation of fittings must be lubricated with machine oil for sewing machines or from the composition of the first-aid kit for the care of translucent structures.

Fittings - mechanisms that provide opening and closing of the window in various modes (window handles, latches, latches, locks, window turning mechanisms, window tilt-and-turn mechanisms, latches, hinges, rods, connecting elements).

Consider all these mechanisms in the diagram.

  1. Main locking drive;
  2. Angular gear (traction);
  3. Scissors (used to tilt the sash);
  4. Top loop (scissor);
  5. Upper support;
  6. Shear support pin;
  7. Medium constipation (ensure the sash is pressed against the frame from the side of the hinges and at the bottom of the window);
  8. bottom loop;
  9. Bottom hinge support;
  10. Window handle;
  11. Folding support (frame part);
  12. Locking (reciprocal) levels.

Window adjustment, or rather, adjustment of window fittings, is necessary when:

  • the window sash sagged - when opening or closing, the sash catches the fittings or the window frame;
  • it is necessary to adjust the pressure of the sash to the frame - the sash does not fit snugly enough to the frame, it blows from the window.
Below are the adjustment schemes for the fittings we use in the production of windows.

Ideally, they should be your reliable and insurmountable protection from the cold. And the first few years after the installation of new windows, this law, as a rule, is unquestioningly observed. However, sooner or later, each of us will still face common problems such as window freezing in the frosty season, breakage of a balcony or window handle, unauthorized penetration of cold air into the room due to poor closing of the sash, and so on. No, this is not evidence that the window structure has become unusable. If everything is done correctly, it will faithfully serve you for many more years. Knowledge and simple skills will help to adjust the window and again make it the guardian of a comfortable temperature regime in the house. And thanks to the high quality of the manufactured products, it will allow to delay the problem period in the operation of window systems.

We switch windows to seasonal mode of operation: summer / winter

(You will need: 4mm hex key)

The degree of how strongly the window sash is pressed can be independently adjusted. It is logical that in winter, the degree of pressing of the window profile sashes should be maximum - in order to prevent cold air from entering the apartment. In summer, Steko experts recommend loosening the pressure on plastic windows in order to prolong the life of sealing rubber and let more fresh air into the room.

However, before proceeding with any manipulations regarding the mechanism, they must be treated with WD-40 spray lubricant. Unlike machine oil, which is much more commonly used, spray lubricant does not attract dust and, thanks to a special thin tube, allows you to easily reach hard-to-reach places that require treatment. This little secret of professional Steko installers will simplify minor window repairs and ensure a long service life of the mechanism.

Now about the main thing: how to recognize clamps?

These components of PVC windows are located along the perimeter of the sash. They are responsible for ensuring that the sash fits as tightly as possible to the frame. The clamps are in the form of eccentrics and in order to adjust the clamp, it is necessary to resort to rotating the eccentric using a 4 mm hexagon.

For transferring fittings in winter mode it is necessary to turn the eccentrics with a mark into the room. The mark is the thickest place on the eccentric.
- To go for summer mode the shortest radius of the eccentrics should be turned towards the room.

Ideally, the adjustment of the plastic window should be carried out by a Steko specialist. Otherwise, you will not be able to insure yourself against damage to the window system in case of an error in the process of adjusting the fittings.

Repairing a window handle

If the adjustment of the pressure of plastic windows is required no more than twice a year, then emergencies associated with a balcony or window handle can occur much more often. Let's look at some of the most common situations and solutions to them.

Problem number 1: the handle is loose

You probably know this unpleasant sensation when the handle, instead of holding tightly, walks when pressed with a shaker. Loose handles in plastic windows can be adjusted by tightening their fasteners. You should not call a specialist to perform this manipulation - you can easily do this work yourself. Pay attention to the rectangular pad, which is located under the handle and is installed in a vertical position (as a rule). With your hand, pry this pad a little from above and below, and then turn it 90. After that, you will see two bolts that must be tightened with a Phillips screwdriver.

Attention! In no case do not pry off the edges of the lining with a screwdriver or any other tool, as this can lead to damage to the profile and deformation of the plug.

Problem number 2: the handle is broken and needs to be replaced

(You will need: Phillips screwdriver)

Let's make a reservation right away that minor repairs to replace broken handles on metal-plastic windows occur in exactly the same way as installing a handle with a fuse. Steko recommends installing lockable handles or child locks on the windows of rooms where the younger generation is present. The first device will not allow you to open the window in principle, and the second will not give the baby the opportunity to open the window wide open, but switching the sash to the ventilation mode is easy.

The repair process starts, again, with the lapel of the plug and the unscrewing of the two bolts located under it. Next, you need to move the handle very carefully from side to side, and then carefully remove it. The new handle is inserted in place of the one just removed and tightened with the same bolts.

Problem number 3: the handle is jammed

Often, the handle installed on the window profile gets stuck. If something like this happened to you, do not rush to sound the alarm: there is no need to change window fittings. Let's say more: to carry out this minor repair, you don’t even have to remove the handle. The reason why these things happen is quite simple: the locking mechanism does not work properly. You can deal with the problem easily and simply: to adjust the plastic windows, it is enough to manually move the lock lever by 2-3 mm, thus freeing the movement of the window handle.

We work with original fittings from trusted manufacturers, which allows us to achieve the highest possible results. Most often, the convenience and smooth functioning of the window depend on how its fittings are adjusted.

You can talk about its need in the following cases:

The sash stopped closing

To close the sash, you have to make serious efforts,

When closing, a creaking sound is heard,

To close the sash, you have to lift it,

Parts of the fittings come into contact with a distinct knock.

Unfortunately, few people pay attention to most of these problems. Appeal to us should be only when the window began to blow. And this sign indicates that the loose profile needs to be debugged.

How adjustment is made

This process has a certain algorithm, which is very important to adhere to. Our experts strictly follow all the requirements, which allows them to achieve excellent results. If you still want to adjust the fittings on the window yourself, it will be useful for you to know that the sash pressure needs to be loosened in the summer and compacted in the winter.

For adjustment, you need to find the locking pins. It is easy to detect serifs on them, this is a kind of indicator. A 4mm hex wrench will help reposition the trunnions. At the same time, the direction of the indicator inside the room indicates a tighter pressure. Accordingly, when weakening, the indicator shows the opposite direction.

IMPORTANT! Even if there is cold ahead, do not press the sash all the way. This will not have the best effect on the seal and may render it unusable.
