Hi there!
I pulled out 4 of my window frames and had the glass updated to the 21st century. I will close the other 4.
While at it I took the window locks off to see if I can get them to work again....
I am looking for some of these locks as they are completely gone.
I mean out of 8 I got 4 that actually look like the are not completely melted. 2 broke when I took them off.
But none of them are actually functioning. Even with some grease...
Can anyone here help me out with some functioning locks?
Name your price :-)
For all here that were wondering...
I got all new seals/gaskets and weatherstriping, window channels, etc from Luke. I got darkest glass available. Cut and put together by a pro.
Probably around $450 for one complete window vs. $800+ from Inmotion Window for new ones.
Looks decent and looks original.
Not included is the multiple hours of struggling with screws that haven't been touched since 50+ years.
(To get them off the hinges and to take the frames/sashes apart.
Pro Tip: PB Blaster and if you can get it, Kano AeroKroil + 24hour soaking helps ALOT!)
Forget about drilling the screws out. They seem to be weapon grade stainless steel. Lost multiple drillbits on those screws :-)
And the clean up of caulking and glue and other crap that the previous owner used to "seal" them.
Have a nice day!
Matt
