Questions and Answers:
Q: My house was built in 1989 with Hurd windows. They are triple pane casement windows. Some of them have discoloration in the glass, which I believe may be from the gas in the windows. Can these be fixed, or would I need to replace the windows to restore them to their original condition?
A: Thanks for your inquiry. Hurd not longer makes a triple pane glass. The reason is that new technology glass equals or surpasses the 3 pane technology and is less expensive. Sash replacements, assuming your frames are in good shape, are the most cost effective and should be as energy efficient as the ones you currently have. You will most likely find the new glass even more comfortable.

Q:  The upper "tongue" of the latch on my active in-swing french door has to be manually lifted in order to close the door correctly (the lower tongue is lined up okay).  Can I make an adjustment to the tongue myself or do I have to replace a part? 
A:  You should be able to adjust your roller ear. See the pics. At the end of the roller, there is a hex head that receives an Allen wrench. Find an Allen wrench that fits the screw head. Align your roller to the position you want it to remain when the door is open. Simply tighten the Allen screw in the roller about a 1/4 turn past the point you get tension with the screw. Your roller is now set to perform properly.

Over periods of time, the screw can become loose and allow the roller to drop below the appropriate position.

Q:  Can the little gear be replaced in the crank.  The house is only 7 years old and it is not easy to find a date on the glass or between the windows.
A:  You must purchase an arm operator in order to get the gears you are referring to. Do you have a casement or an awning window? If you are uncertain of the year your window was manufactured, you can send us a digital picture and we can identify the arm operator for you. You will likely need a casement arm operator used after 1998 (according to our website and the age of the house that you mentioned). You will need to measure the width of the visible glass to determine if you need a dual or a dyad arm operator.

Q. How do you properly lock Hurd double patio doors doors.
A:  Lift the left door handle toward the roof, shut the left door, then close and lock the right door.  Click here more info.

Q:  How do you reverse the handing of a sliding door handle?
A:  See how-to photos below.

 Order a Hurd sliding door handle.

Q:  How do you adjust a casement window?  My sash won't fully close.
A:  Shown in the pictures below is the pin at the closest point to your hinge and the open position whereby the pin is rotated 180 degrees.  The elongated movement slides the pin over 1/16" from the hinge side.  With the aid of the geometry, it should allow your sash to fully close.
