Window Hardware Replacement

When a window stops working properly, the problem is almost always the hardware, not the window itself. Broken cranks, worn hinges, stripped gears, and failed operators are extremely common — and completely repairable.

Mr. Cranky specializes in window hardware replacement, saving homeowners from unnecessary window replacement and thousands of dollars in avoidable costs.

We replace and repair:

• Window cranks & operators

• Casement and awning window hinges

• Window locks and locking tabs

• Link arms and hardware assemblies

• Worn or stripped gear mechanisms

If your window crank spins, clicks, slips, or feels loose — the internal gears have likely failed. If the window drops, binds, or won’t close evenly, worn hinges or operators are usually the cause. These are mechanical parts, and mechanical parts wear out.

The good news?
Most window hardware can be replaced in one visit.

We carry a wide range of parts and also retrofit modern hardware when original parts are discontinued. Our goal is simple: restore smooth, safe operation without replacing a perfectly good window.

If your window still looks good but doesn’t work right, hardware replacement is almost always the smartest move
