In order for the window effectively performing its functions, the perfect operation of the mechanism (fittings) is needed. To adjust the work, eliminating the skews and a loose clamping of the sash, the adjustment of plastic windows is provided. In addition, the reconfiguration is needed due to seasonal change of weather: winter - summer.
To adjust accessories or minor repairs yourself, you will need several tools:
- Passatia;
- set of hexagons;
- Cross and flat screwdriver;
- Set of TORKS keys (asterisk).
Seasonal adjustment
The appearance of the slots between the sash and the window can occur due to the refinement of the seal or due to the geometric distortion of the sash profile under the influence of high temperatures that summer brings with them. And in that, and in another case, the adjustment of the clips is necessary so that the window is sealed for the winter. This can be done by changing the position of the TsAPF (eccentrics) on the end side of the window from the sash closure and adjusting the bolts in the loop from the mounted side.
Step-by-step instruction
The protruding part of the pin (is in the end of the window) you need to be tested towards the inside. This can be made with a flat screwdriver if there is a corresponding slot, or hexagon. If there are no slots, the eccentric needs to be tested by passatships, and sometimes first pull a little from the profile, and then turn. The method of adjusting the clamping eccentric depends on the manufacturer of the fittings (mechanism). You can see more detail on the video.
- If such an adjustment is not enough, you need to change the position of response cylinders. For this, the hexagon is weakened by clamping bolts and the hook shifts towards the street.
- At the end, adjustment of the clamping of the molding from the mounted side is adjusted. Adjusting screw in the windows of the rotary type is located in the lower canopy. For a better fit, it needs to be turned clockwise. Rotary-folding design is additionally adjustable using the screw in the upper loop.
- If the adjustment did not help, the air flow is still underway, it means that the sealing gum no longer performs its functions, and it must be replaced. How to do it, described in detail in the video:

Such a repair is better to spend when summer on the outcome or has come autumn. In winter, the apartment will be played, and the setting of the mechanism when the summer just began, may be meaningless, because the main thermal load is still ahead.
Council
In order not to damage the adjustment mechanism, turning the eccentric, and not to make a large-scale renovation to unwitting, first you need to try out the methods without pulling out. If they did not work, then you need to move to the last method and allotted an armor without excessive effort.
How to remove the shift of the sash relative to the profile?
Adjusting the position of the sash relative to the frame or other sash is performed when the window is installed. If the installation is performed correctly, then such a defect may appear again after a while due to the fact that the window is often open, and the sash under its own weight is shifted, while some parts of the accessories are cleared. There is nothing tragic in it, you do not need to change the profile in such a situation. All that is needed is a small repair. Usually you need only adjustment of the mechanism, and in the running cases - the replacement of the deformed parts of the accessories.- The height of the flap relative to the frame is regulated by bolts on the lower awn. The hexagon is inserted on top of the canopy (vertically) and captures the bolt hidden from the eye. Rotate counterclockwise lowered the sash, clockwise - raise.
- The lower part of the sash moves to the right / left turn of the bolt, located at the bottom of the canopy. It can be turned both from the side of the slope and from the outside of the open sash, so there are two channels to enter the key.
- Adjusting the "scissors" and, accordingly, the upper part of the window is made only when the window is open. The adjusting bolt is located with the side of the mechanism, almost on bend, his head is slightly recessed. Detail of the entire sequence of actions can be viewed on the video:
If when inspected before adjustment, the deformation of the mechanism details was detected, then repair with the replacement of damaged parts is required.
Repair or replacement of a window handle
The element of the window fittings - the knob is the most mobile and noticeable from the entire mechanism. Sometimes under frequent mechanical exposure, it breaks down or breaks. Sometimes you have to change it from aesthetic considerations, and sometimes - to put a handle with a lock if there are children in the house. It is easy to do yourself, following the instructions.
- Turn the safety bar (plug), which is closed bolts, 180º.
- Unscrew the bolts using a crust screwdriver and get a handle from the jack.
- A new handle must be brought to the same position in which it was removed: turn the handle with respect to the bar with the bolts. How to do it right, you can see in the video:

- In the new handle, also turn the safety bar and paste the handle into the socket.
- Secure the handle with new or old bolts and close the bar.
Repair of the discharged handle is even easier. To do this, it is enough to rotate the plug and twist the bolts.
Adjusting the stroke handle
A typical problem faced after the installation of a metal-plastic profile is a tight handle stroke on the sash. There are several probable reasons for this:- poor-quality fittings;
- Mounting errors;
- lack of lubricant in the mechanism;
- clogging of fittings.
The first two reasons are a warranty case, so you need to call a representative of the company and require the elimination of a defect. The problem of poor-quality installation is also in the fact that errors can not appear immediately, but over time, and then the repair of accessories is carried out at his own expense. The remaining causes are caused by the absence of preventive care.
If the handle initially turned well, and then gradually it became necessary to force more efforts, most likely the problem in the lubricant of the mechanism. If the tight passage appeared when the repair ended, the most likely reason is clogging by the construction dust. Clean the mechanism from dust and lubricate it with machinery can be independently.
Instruction
- Find on the window of the place with the icon "Maslenka". These are technological openings for lubrication.
- Remove the handles that are hard or not fully rotate.
- Opened hole and lubrication places to clean with a vacuum cleaner.
- Spray the mechanism for cleaning WD-40 and handle a soft tassel to remove particles of dirt and dust.
- Process with machine oil, instilcing it from the oil and lubricating the parts with a cotton wand. It is desirable to use synthetic engine oil and in no case to lubricate fittings with vegetable oils.
If such actions have not brought the expected result, you need to go to the adjustment. To do this, open the sash so that it is perpendicular to the frame. In the bottom or top loop, depending on which the handle requires adjustment, insert the hexagon and turn to the elimination of the problem. How to adjust the plastic windows with your own hands, if the handle does not close to the end, you can look at the video:

Preventive care for fittings and seal
Preventive windowing for the window mechanism lies in regular lubrication with machine oil and cleaning from the dust and other contaminants that fell there. Manufacturers advise this procedure twice a year. But due to the fact that the seasonal adjustment of the clamping of the sash is most often performed when the summer ended, then the grease mechanism is produced at the same time. And in the cold months, when the winter was just ended, unpacked the windows and arrange a draft of little one to decide. How exactly and how to clean and lubricate the accessories, indicated above, in the section on adjusting the clamp.
Caring for plastic windows also involves regular rubbing of sealing rubber - several times a year. This does not require special tools, a sufficiently wet napkin. You must not forget to clean the drainage channels with plastic or wooden stick. They are located at the bottom of the window. If you open the sash, they are clearly visible.
If you carry out the adjustment and lubricate the mechanism in time, the window will serve much longer. After all, the profile itself can withstand several decades, and the moving parts of the mechanism are susceptible to load and "staring" before. Without proper care, you have to change the window much earlier. For example, if you do not adjust the disgusting sash on time, it will lead to deformation of parts. If and then do not pay attention to the problem, it can simply jam the window, and you have to change the entire mechanism. After performing simple manipulations, you can save the window for a long time, and it will perform all the functions on heat and sound insulation.
