Jalousie windows are a popular choice for Hawaii homes because they’re attractive, durable, and allow for easy access to the temperate trade winds. Over time, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to experience problems with their windows, but don’t worry—the jalousie window repair specialists at Waipahu’s KKTF Hawaii can easily fix them. Usually, the source of the problem is in the overall alignment, arm, or handle and crank.

Here are a few things to consider the next time you suspect the need for professional jalousie window repair:

• Stuck: Jalousie windows rely on a handle and crank mechanism–also known as the operator—to open and close. Over time, these components can wear out, resulting in a window that won’t open at all. Luckily, a jalousie window repair specialist can quickly and easily determine the cause of the issue and replace the operator if necessary.
• Difficult To Open: If you have to use an unusual amount of force to push your jalousie windows open, have them fixed as soon as possible to prevent injury or damage to your home. Due to their design, they could drift out of alignment over time, which will prevent them from opening no matter how much force you use.
• Broken: While jalousie windows are made to last, it’s inevitable for a small component to break or fall into disrepair along the way. If this happens, a reputable repair company can easily replace a small piece like an arm or rivet.
