Perfect manufacturing technology plastic windows and high-quality materials, reliable fittings and components ensure trouble-free operation of structures throughout the operational period. However, like any other mechanism, the window design needs periodic tuning.
A well-thought-out design of the profile and accessories allows you to adjust the window yourself, without much effort and time. It is enough only to have information about the location of the main tuning sites, to have an instrument and, of course, desire.

Adjustment of plastic windows: reasons, necessary tools
Any plastic design, regardless of brand and quality, needs adjustment.
This need arises due to the building sagging, poor fitting of the rubber seal or even due to incorrect installation of the window. Therefore, if you notice a draft or whistle in the presence of a strong wind, friction of the window leaf about the profile, a malfunction in the handle, then it's time to adjust the window structure.
To do this, you need to arm with a hexagonal wrench, nozzles for a star-shaped screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, pliers and machine oil.
Adjustment of the hardware of metal-plastic windows
the door knob shook
To fix the problem, you need to tighten the handle. It's done simply and easily: a rectangular overlay under the handle should be fingered by the lower and upper edge and unfolded 90 degrees.
The cover hides 2 bolts, which are tightened with a screwdriver cross-shaped. Just do not use a screwdriver to open the plate: there is a high probability of damage and deformation of the end of the plug.
replacement of a broken handle or attachment of a handle with a fuse
The handle with a safety lock will be very useful in children's rooms: the protective mechanism reliably will save your kid from independent opening of a window. Dismantling of the old handle involves actions to turn the cap and unscrew the bolts. Then, slightly rocking the handle in the connector, it must be reached, inserted a new one and bolted. It remains to be convinced of the correctness of its work.
How to replace the handle in detail is shown in the video on youtube.
the handle is stuck or hardly reaches a specific position
The main reason for this most common problem is the need to thoroughly clean the drainage channels of plastic windows and oil treatment. If the handle can not be pivoted to the end, it is recommended to loosen the clamping mechanism on the sash.
So, in order to clean and lubricate the handle, it is necessary to remove it first and clean the mechanism of dirt with a brush. You can use a detergent for windows, but you should monitor its consumption - the excess should not get on the inside surface of the window profile. Then all the moving parts are lubricated and the handle is put in its original position.
If the handle closes to the end with difficulty, it is recommended to adjust the pressure of the plastic windows. In this case, the eccentrics located at the end of the profile and the special adjustment bolts on the hinges are to be adjusted. The configuration process will be described in more detail below.
the pen got stuck
If the pen is stuck, it does not mean that it will have to be removed or replaced. The main reason is incorrect activation of the locking mechanism, which does not allow changing the position of the window when it is open. To solve the problem, you need to move the lock lever, giving the handle the ability to move. The lever, located at the end of the leaf from the side of the handle, can have the shape of a plate or resemble a clip that comes into contact with the sealing rubber.
Adjustment of the pressure of plastic windows: the formation of cracks or seasonal necessity
Located around the perimeter of the window, the sealing rubber can decrease in volume over time, thereby creating voids and crevices. The result of such a disappointing process is the loss of airtightness and deterioration of the insulation of the structure. In addition, a thermal rubber can break down due to seasonal temperature changes. Thanks to the design features of plastic windows, there is no need to completely replace the seal. Instead, there is a fairly simple way to adjust the clamping force. Its adjustment twice a year will allow you to reduce the voltage in the hardware design and significantly increase the service life of the rubber gasket.
Adjustment of the clamping mechanism is performed by turning the eccentrics or moving the hooking reams located on the profile. During the adjustment, the most protruding part of the eccentric is scrolled towards the inner surface of the structure, and to loosen, on the contrary, to the outside.
Some models of plastic windows assume a different method of adjustment: the eccentric can be equipped with a special slot; using pliers, the journal should be taken away from the butt and with a slight effort to scroll.
If it is impossible to adjust the cylinders on the end, you will have to adjust the position of the mating part fixed to the key-bolts - hexahedron. Having loosened both available bolts, for reduction of a degree of pressing the hitch moves to the side of a premise, and for strengthening - aside street. Then you need to go to the canopies. Let's consider a variant of a sash of a window with a transom. To do this, the cap is removed from the lower canopy, under which are two visible bolts and one hidden, thanks to which it is possible to change the position of the wing relative to the frame. To adjust the clamping mechanism, you need a bolt that extends perpendicular to the window plane.
Remember, it is advisable to perform the adjustment when the leaf is closed. Hexagonal key is inserted into the head of the bolt, if necessary, the pressure is increased, it is scrolled clockwise, with the weakening - against. Since the leaf is fixed in the upper part not to the canopy, in order to gain access to the adjusting bolts, it is necessary to open the window leaf, find the lever of the blocker in the end face of the lock and press it. At the same time, the handle turns to the airing position. Thanks to these manipulations, the leaf remains hanging on the canopy in the lower plane of the window and the "scissors" mechanism.
This will allow you to get to the head, which is responsible for the degree of pressure of the upper part of the window sash. Its slight rotation will provide the necessary adjustment of the clamping force.
Adjustment of the windows of plastic windows
If the plastic window structure is opened / closed with sharp movements, then over time the probability of deformation of some elements of the fittings holding the leaf is great, which means that their adjustment is necessary.
If the flap touches the frame with the butt in the lower plane, then it should be raised and its upper part unfolded towards the fastening in the upper plane.
If the flap touches the frame on the site in the middle of the side end, it is shifted towards the canopies.
When grazing the frame with the butt in the upper part, the leaf is turned towards the lower canopy or lowered evenly downwards. Direct adjustment is carried out by means of adjusting bolts on the "scissors" in the upper plane of the window and on the lower canopy.
