Plastic windows provide reliable protection of the home from the external, sometimes unfavorable, environment. With a metal-plastic construction, strong winds, rains, odors from the street are not afraid. The reliability and durability of eurowindows depends not only on the material from which the window is made, but also on the correct installation. However, even with the condition of high-quality assembly, it is periodically necessary to adjust the plastic windows yourself.
How to adjust plastic windows
Serving the locking mechanism is not as difficult as it seems. Despite the external complexity, you only need a small set of tools:
- 4 mm hexagon wrench;
- crosshead screwdriver.
At the end when opening the sash, you can see 3 eccentricsThey are the same to a. These elements are regulators and allow you to create a comfortable atmosphere and the required temperature in the apartment. Each cam is rotated with a hex key in both directions. Turning to the left will provide a denser clip, while rotating to the right it will be weaker. It is necessary to achieve such a situation that it does not blow from the street. The main condition is the uniform adjustment of the plastic windows so that the pressure density on all eccentrics is the same.
If one of the DACs is pressed, it will be stronger than the others, the sealing gum on the window unit will wear out unevenly. Correct adjustment of the fittings will free the consumer from frequent adjustments of the double-glazed windows, which will keep the seals on the wings in a good condition longer.
Adjustment of the position of the double-glazed window is carried out using a hex wrench.
- In the horizontal plane, the adjustment is carried out from the upper loop. It is necessary to open a window; there is a key hole on the hinge. You need to rotate it clockwise to press the corner to the loop, and counterclockwise to push it.
- You can adjust the euro window vertically by adjusting the lower hinge. Under the cap that covers the loop, there is a socket under the hexagon. When the key is rotated counterclockwise, the sash rises, clockwise - it lowers.
DIY pen repair
In a situation where the handle is out of order, and it is not possible to open the lock of the PVC product, repairs can be done with your own hands. To do this, you need to purchase a new pen and unscrew the old from the sash. To do this, you must remove the protective strip from the base of the handle and remove the screws. After removing the old handle, install a new one in its place.
If the handle is difficult to turn, it is a sure sign that the locks are not lubricated enough. The fittings of metal-plastic constructions need timely care, at least once a year you need to lubricate the mechanisms.
To properly and efficiently handle hardware, ordinary machine oil can be used. First you need to open the sash, clean all visible mechanisms from dirt. After that, parts are abundantly lubricated, especially in places of contact with each other.
If you follow the instructions and correctly configure the adjustable mechanisms of plastic windows, they will last a very long time and there will be practically no problems with their use.
