Does anyone know how to adjust double glazed windows?My windows wont shut unless I lift them to line them up?

We have to physically lift them to shut them.The catches in the frame all seem out of line,has anyone any idea how to adjust them as the company who fitted them 10years ago are no longer around.I would be grateful for any help atall and will thankyou beforehand.Does anyone know how to adjust double glazed windows?My windows wont shut unless I lift them to line them up?when %26quot;opening%26quot; UPVC windows are installed they are what we in the trade call %26quot;toe and heeled%26quot; this means that the plastic packs put around the glass unit before the glazing beads are put on are positioned so as not to allow the sash to drop. this seems not to have been done in your case, i think that is why the company went out of business. it is not a job that can be explained very well, without being there to show you. are all the opening windows in the house dropping to some extent?a double glazing company should not charge much to realign them, or if you are in the west York's area i will give you a price for it.Does anyone know how to adjust double glazed windows?My windows wont shut unless I lift them to line them up?There is usually some adjustment in both the catches and where the hinges attach to the frame, used by slackening off screws, repositioning and tightening up. However, if you can lift the windows it sounds like there's wear, perhaps in the hinges. Might be simplest to get a double-glazing repairman in, you can normally find 'em in local papers and phone book.Does anyone know how to adjust double glazed windows?My windows wont shut unless I lift them to line them up?Jimmy the man is absolutely right, sounds like they need toe and healing. If you know how to take he bead out you probably can adjust them yourself. take off the top glazing bead, cut some plastic packers about 50mm long and the same width as your sealed unit and wedge them in between the sash and the sealed unit, that will lift the sash up and keep it in place, If you don't have any plastic wedges you can buy them at DGS, Double Glazing SuppliesDoes anyone know how to adjust double glazed windows?My windows wont shut unless I lift them to line them up?on the bottom hinge lift off the plastic cover and you will find an ajustment screw
