Hinge Replacement

New hinges, measured and matched to your window exactly.

When a hinge is past saving, the repair is only as good as the match. Casement hinges vary by track length, stack height, hand, and mounting pattern, and a near-miss leaves the sash binding or sitting proud of the seal. We measure the original hardware precisely, source the correct replacement, and fit it so the window swings exactly as designed.

Broken hinges usually announce themselves: a corner of the sash drops, the window scrapes, or the hardware visibly cracks after years of corrosion. Where the diagnosis is less obvious, our window hinge repair service sorts adjustable problems from replace-it problems first, so you only buy hardware that is actually needed.

We replace hinges in pairs and check the operator at the same time. A sash that has been hanging crooked has usually been straining its crank too, and catching that early is far cheaper than a second call. Everything is quoted up front: parts, labour, and cleanup.

We source hardware for most brands and vintages found around North Bay and Corbeil. If the whole window deserves attention while we are there, ask about a full window service.

FAQ

Hinge Replacement: questions we hear most.

Straight answers from the person who does the work. If yours is not here, call and we will talk it through.

Can you find hinges for an older window brand?
Usually, yes. Hinge patterns are more standardized than they look, and we measure the track length, stack height, and hand to source a correct match for most brands and ages.
Why replace hinges in pairs?
Both hinges on a sash have the same age and load history. Pairing a new hinge with a worn one leaves the sash unevenly supported and puts the new hardware under crooked load from day one.
How much does hinge replacement cost?
It depends on the hardware your window needs, but it is a small fraction of window replacement. The estimate is free and the quoted price includes parts, labour, and cleanup.
Will new hinges fix my draft?
If the draft comes from a sash sitting out of square, very likely. New hinges restore the geometry so the latch pulls the sash evenly into the weatherstripping again.
