Window Hardware Specialists in the Charlotte Area

Most glass companies focus on the glass. Window hardware — the cranks, operators, balances, locks, hinges, and rollers that make a window function — is a specialty that requires access to manufacturer parts channels that aren't available at a hardware store.

KKC Glass is an authorized service provider for 12 window manufacturers. That means we have access to genuine OEM hardware and parts for PlyGem, Lincoln, Atrium, Silver Line, Sierra Pacific, Simonton, Windsor, Harvey, American Craftsman, Cascade Windows, Northstar Windows, and Prime Window Systems — the brands installed in hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the Charlotte area.

When the hardware on your window fails, the window often can't close properly — which means the seal is broken regardless of how good the glass is. A failed crank, a worn balance, or a broken lock isn't just an inconvenience. It's a gap in your home's weatherproofing and security.

Window Hardware We Repair & Replace

Double-Hung Balances & Springs

The balance system that holds double-hung sashes in position when open. Failed balances cause sashes to fall or resist movement. We replace spiral, block-and-tackle, and constant-force balance types.

Double-Hung Balances & Springs

The balance system that holds double-hung sashes in position when open. Failed balances cause sashes to fall or resist movement. We replace spiral, block-and-tackle, and constant-force balance types.

Locks & Latches

Window locks that no longer engage, turn, or secure properly. A failed lock is a security and weathersealing issue — the sash may not compress against the weatherstripping when unlocked.

About our manufacturer service
Generic hardware pulled from a shelf at a home improvement store often doesn't fit correctly, doesn't function the way the original did, and in some cases doesn't meet the structural requirements of the window it's being installed in. A crank that doesn't fully seat in the operator housing won't close the window correctly. A balance that's the wrong weight class won't hold the sash where you leave it. As an authorized service provider for 12 manufacturers, KKC Glass sources genuine OEM parts — the correct component, to the correct specification, for your specific window brand and model. For warranty situations, OEM parts are also required to maintain the manufacturer warranty on the window.

Hard-to-Find & Discontinued Parts

Older windows — particularly those manufactured in the 1990s and early 2000s — often need parts that are no longer stocked at retail. Hardware stores don't carry manufacturer-specific window hardware.

KKC Glass's 27-year presence in the market and our authorized manufacturer relationships give us access to parts channels and supplier networks that most companies don't have. We can frequently source components for older windows from our 12 authorized brands that are genuinely difficult to find elsewhere.

If you've been told the part for your window doesn't exist anymore — contact us before you accept that as a final answer. Tell us the window brand, model, and what's broken. We'll find out what's available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you find parts for older or discontinued windows?
Often, yes. KKC Glass is an authorized service provider for 12 window manufacturers and has access to parts channels not available to the general public or most hardware stores. Contact us with your window brand, model, and the part that has failed.
What window hardware do you repair or replace?
We repair and replace cranks and operators on casement windows, balance systems on double-hung windows, locks and latches, hinges, handles, pivot bars, tilt latches, rollers on sliding windows, weatherstripping, and screen hardware.
Why does window hardware matter for energy efficiency?
Failed hardware often means a window can no longer close and seal properly. A casement with a broken operator or a double-hung with failed balances may not fully close — creating a gap that allows drafts and moisture regardless of how good the glass is.
Is hardware replacement cheaper than replacing the window?
In most cases, significantly so. Hardware replacement is one of the most cost-effective window repairs available. Before replacing a window because it won't operate correctly, find out whether the hardware is the actual problem.
How do I request an estimate?
Yes — estimates based on the details you provide for most hardware situations. Tell us the window brand, model, and what has failed.
