How we fix hinge problems
1. Inspect
We check hinge wear, sash alignment and the condition of seals and gaskets.
2. Replace or adjust
Friction stays are swapped like-for-like; door hinges are adjusted or replaced to lift the door back into line.
3. Seal
Worn gaskets are renewed so the window or door closes tight and stops draughts.
New hinges and seals cost a fraction of new windows and can make a noticeable difference to draughts and heating bills.
Why it breaks: what our engineers find in Blackthorn
Wind catching open windows
A gust catching an open sash can bend friction arms in seconds, leaving the window loose or unable to close properly.
Weight of the glass
Double glazed sashes are heavy. Over years that weight wears the friction stays, so the window drops and rubs on the frame.
Loose fixing screws
Screws pulling out of the frame let hinges move, which throws the whole sash out of alignment.

Window & door hinge repair in Blackthorn: FAQs
Why does my window drop when I open it?
The friction hinges (stays) have worn out. Replacing them restores the sash position and stops it rubbing.
Can you fix a dropped uPVC door in Blackthorn?
Yes — most dropped doors are fixed by adjusting or replacing the hinges, usually in one visit.
Do you match existing hinge sizes?
Yes, we measure and fit matching stays and hinges for your window or door type.
Will new hinges stop draughts?
Often yes. Combined with new gaskets, a correctly aligned sash seals tightly against the frame.
