Casement window lock and crank repair in Ottawa — FixItAll Handyman Services
A casement window that does not lock properly or feels hard to open can lead to drafts, poor sealing, and daily frustration.
I inspect the window and identify the cause, such as worn crank (operator) parts, loose hardware, or a lock that no longer lines up.
I repair or adjust the crank and locking components and restore proper alignment of the sash to the frame.
I then test the window through full open/close cycles to confirm smooth operation without forcing the handle.
The result is a window that opens smoothly, closes tightly, and locks securely again.
This improves comfort and can reduce unwanted heat loss.
I provide this repair across Ottawa and nearby areas.
What’s included (scope): inspection, tightening and adjustment of lock/crank hardware, alignment of the sash to improve sealing, and final testing for smooth movement and secure locking.
When this service is needed: handle slipping, window hard to crank, window not sealing evenly, lock not engaging, or noticeable drafts around the sash.
How the work runs: I correct alignment, ensure even pressure on the frame, and verify the lock engages reliably without stressing the mechanism.
• This service focuses on the lock/operator (crank) mechanism and alignment. Glass replacement, sealed unit (fogged glass) repair, and full window replacement are not included unless requested separately.
• If parts are broken beyond adjustment, a compatible replacement operator/lock may be required; the exact part and cost are confirmed before proceeding.
• If there is frame rot, major structural movement, or safety/egress concerns, additional carpentry or window replacement may be needed and would be quoted separately.

FAQ — Casement Window Repair in Ottawa
Why is my casement window hard to open or close?
Common causes include worn crank (operator) parts, loose hardware, or sash misalignment. In many cases, adjustment or hardware repair can restore smooth operation without replacing the window.
Can a loose or slipping window handle be fixed?
Yes. I tighten and adjust the operator and related hardware, and if the mechanism is worn out, I can replace it with a compatible part once confirmed.
Does this repair help with drafts and poor sealing?
Often, yes. Proper alignment and reliable locking help the sash press evenly against the frame, improving sealing and reducing drafts.
How is pricing confirmed for a casement window repair?
Pricing depends on whether it’s adjustment-only or if a compatible operator/lock replacement is needed. I confirm the scope, parts (if any), and the price before work starts.
Which areas do you serve?
