It’s so weird because all I did was a tiny clean up of the window lever, it wouldn’t close all the way and it would give the house so much cold air. I’m sitting by that window to do my routine and it’s so cold. Hopefully this is the way to fix it, I’m not sure if it’s the same window but I will come back for this video and ask for advice if I have any questions.

My window tie bars don't have an actual slow for a screw head, they are solid with a little plastic ring around them. How would I adjust those to make it easier to fully lock my casement window? Right Now it only pulls in about half way. Thanks.

What if the window is opened at the top?? It won't close up top

Thanks for the tip on the handle. Opened two brand new windows for fresh air and the handle won't sit in its designated place. This simple trick gives me some hope. Stopped after playing with it. Now only if I can find that screw driver....

Casement windows are the worst, most stupid type of window ever designed. Completely user-unfriendly, prone to mechanical failure. I f*cking hate this type of window. The windows in my house are extremely old and I can't f*cking open them.

Good video! HAHA I was confused how to open my window because I am new here in Canada and the windows are like that. In my house in the Philippines, it was not like this😂

I just measured with a caliper on my window, and it's 11mm. The nut thingy is round with two flat surfaces for the wrench and made of soft brass. The wrench must fit snugly.

What to do if the gap is in all sides of the window? My windows are not closing well and the margins are wide all over!

Yeah, what do you do when the cams don't have any screw heads???

I don't have the visible cams. Mine are encase in the trim.

Thank u so much!

Mine is not opening ???

Mr. Scott from the original Star Trek series said it the best, "The more they overthink the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain."

Thank you!!!!!

Great info, this allowed me to align my window properly so that it opens and closes much easier. Before I completed this adjustment, our very large casement window would require so much force to close it that we would have to purchase new opening mechanism every few years because of the wear and tear on the gear teeth in the opening mechanism. Furthermore, we would need to grab the handle in such a way that we could apply the force. It was crazy! And all this in a new home. Also, we could only close it just enough so that the locking mechanism could grab onto the window and pull it closed the rest of the way (about 2 inches!). Now when I close the window, it’s a lot easier (although still a little difficult due to the sheer size of the window in the master bedroom - but nothing compared to before) AND the window actually closes without me having to engage the locking mechanism. The lock just pulls it shut that last few millimetres so that the window is completely airtight against the weather stripping. Thank you! 😊

I don't have adjustable cams And my lock will not lock without breaking, my window isn't sealing

Mine is round how do I adjust it

Thanks for posting this valuable information! Can you help how to order flat ranch tool ? I want to order from your end . Thanks.

Not the windows I have, but very informative!

Make a traduction in french please

Hope this works, exactly my problem with 15 year old windows, still on great shape but having closing problems. 👍👍

This helped a lot. I hate casement windows but I will probably keep them awhile longer since adjustments are pretty easy.

it doesnt fucking work so useless

It would be nice to see where the alignment slot is so i know which direction pushed it out and which closes it

GOOD JOB , SO PROUD OF YOU

I am using a 3/8 wrench, but it does not grip. I have also tried a 7/16 wrench suggested in a different video which is too large. What size wrench can I use?

Very good info; I recently had two replacement casement windows installed. One window operates properly while the other window doesn't fully close properly until the lock is engaged. I had a tech over and he did the adjustments shown in your video which resulted in a slight improvement. The bottom portion closes properly, but the top portion still has about a 1/4-inch space between the sash and the window frame; after the lock is engaged, the window will close. Is this window beyond adjustment and should it be replaced?

what size of your wrench thanks

Thank you so much for your information. That is exactly my problem and i hope to fix this quickly.
