handle can be repaired. However in the event that the lock has broken

expand. In this case, wiping the frames with cold water can help to shrink them
slightly. The hinges or mechanism may require oiling.

It is always a good idea to get in touch with the company that installed your
double glazing if there are any issues. They will be able to provide advice on
the best method of action. In some instances, the problem is easily fixed by
re-sealing the seals. In other instances, the whole glass unit will have to be
