vorks 1 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 Hi there, the place i bought is around 8 yrs old. A couple of the window latch/lock is spoilt. When I push the lock/latch down, nothing comes down ie the lock has probably broken off. I'm trying to see if anyone know where I can find people who fix this kinda of things? And any idea how much? thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vorks 1 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 Have you thought of changing it?? For me, I think the best you can do in this is to change rather than fix it.. Hope it helps.. Regards.. -------------------- Custom Window Treatments want to change but havent found anyone who can do it...the contractor who promised to do it never... -_- and now not answering my calls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fierydragon 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 Most probably, the contractor is not interested in your job as it is too small, and the charges is going to be very high. A rivet gun with some rivets will set you back about $16.00 and you can use it next time. A latch depending on type should not cost more than $10.00. The contractor will charge you at least $50 for transport and maybe extra for labour and parts. If you can handle a screw driver, you can do the job.
