Obsolete Window Parts? We Retrofit Instead of Replacing

Many window manufacturers no longer exist, and many window parts are discontinued. Replacement companies will often say, “You can’t get the parts — you need new windows.” That’s usually not true.

Mr. Cranky specializes in retrofitting modern window hardware to replace obsolete or discontinued parts. With the right experience, most windows can be adapted to work like new again.

We commonly retrofit:

  • Discontinued window cranks

  • Obsolete hinges

  • Non-standard sash balances

  • Older European or builder-grade hardware

This skill alone has saved our customers thousands of dollars by keeping perfectly good windows in service instead of replacing them unnecessarily.
