Window Locking Problems – What Homeowners Need to Know

Struggling with window locks that don’t quite click or secure properly? You’re not alone. In Chelmsford and beyond, faulty or failing window locks are a common issue—especially in older homes or properties exposed to changing weather conditions. At Core Handyman Services, we help homeowners stay safe and secure by fixing these frustrating problems quickly and professionally.

Common Window Lock Issues

  • Stiff or Jammed Mechanisms: Often caused by rust, dust, or wear over time.

  • Loose or Broken Handles: A small crack or wobble can affect the lock’s strength.

  • Misalignment: The frame may shift with time, making locks hard to engage.

Why It Matters

Functional window locks are a key part of home security, insurance compliance, and energy efficiency. Broken locks not only make your home vulnerable to break-ins—they also let in drafts and moisture.

How Core Handyman Services Can Help

Whether it's re-aligning the frame, replacing a broken locking unit, or performing regular maintenance, our team brings local expertise and swift service to Chelmsford homeowners. We ensure your windows lock properly—and stay that way.

Don’t wait until a faulty window becomes a real security risk—book a repair with Core Handyman Services today.
