Q: Is it really necessary to repair sash window cords?

A:It is very important to fix faulty sash window cords straight away. Faulty sash window cords can pose several problems. These problems can include difficulties opening the window and problems with a "sticky" window that refuses to budge.

Q: How hard is it to repair sash window cords?

A: It's relatively straightforward to repair sash cord units. Most handymen can get the job done in about one to two hours.

Q: How exactly do you go about repairing sash cords?

A: In a nutshell, a handyman removes the outer casings and mouldings that surround the window case. After this is done, the handyman then removes the worn out sash cord from the frame. The handyman then opens up the compartment that contains the pulley that drives the unit to make room for the new sash cords.

Once that is done, the handyman then threads the new sash cord into the unit. This is usually done by first threading the new sash cord to the sash and then threading the sash cord over the pulley.

Finally, the new sash cord is firmly secured to the weight that drives the pulley. After this is done, the window is reassembled to finish the project.
