grease pvc locks

valleyboy22

Morning,

We had new upvc windows fitted over a year ago, and we was told to grease the mechanisms every 6 months.

What do you use to do this, because wd40 is not recommended i seen, but they do a silicone based spray which people say its ok, and some people dont??

Thanks

wd40 specialist high performance silicone lubricant spray,will do the job but use sparingly.

Its an excellent product ! and will have many household uses.

My upvc windows have been in for 35 years now & have never been greased or lubricated in anyway........

3 in 1 light oil in a spray can.

I didn't lubricate the mechanisms on one of our windows for years and it jammed shut. I managed to get some oil into the handle and open it, but then it wouldn't close and lock properly.

I ended up having it replaced.

I'd use silicon spray.
