    Have looked at a number of videos on toe and heel, with most being as instructive as remove bead and straighten door!! I mean, like, seriously! This is a brief and excellent video on, not only how to do it, but also the theory behind it which makes it all the more memorable. Also well presented. Well done OP!

    Good video but I'll be dammed if I understand how the frame moves and how toe and heeling works. How can you tell the difference between a frame/hinge that needs adjusting and a toe and heeling problem?

  • @DullahanBrewing
    @DullahanBrewing 4 роки тому +1

    You make it all look so easy,yet another talent in the Harrybrew69 toolbox. I've seen a lot of windows like this out of whack now I know why,too many houses built by cowboys in the last decade here post recession all showing faults like this now as well as pvc doors out of plumb. The handles on inside of those windows also tend to get hard to close and get very loose with age,how do you fix that? Anyway m8 hope all is well with ye,can't wait to see the next HB vlog,I know you've been chasing your tail of late. Cheers.

    I understood the weight transfer principle, but didn't know it was called heel & toe. Well, one favour deserves another, so here's a tip for you: when you make the little blue trabs for pulling the tape off, do it at both ends❗ Then, when (not if) it breaks halfway, just start again from the other end. Simples.

    Hi there. My window in my house is not closing correctly ,it's a side hung window now on the lock side it's fine but on the opposite end it has about 4mm gap now I have recently changed the hinges as the gap was alot worse before this . Now my question is have I done something wrong when put the new hinges on or is there an adjustment screw I need to alter to bring that side in. Thanks you hopefully you can get back to me as soon as you can .

    Bad idea having the glazing beeds external. Just take them off and the glass out to break in. Should be all internal.

    • @harrybrew69
      @harrybrew69  2 роки тому

      You can't get the glass out without access to cut the security tape on the inside. I do, however, dislike externally glazed windows as they are a pain to glaze on anything other than the ground floor.

    Hi Harry. I've got a window like this that I can see light through on the vertical hinge side near the top. Is that heel and toe issue or just an adjustment i can make to the sliders. Seems to me the window edge doesn't go far enough over to quite reach the seal. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    I have a really annoying bay window that is all out of square and has a similar problem, unfortunately it's not something that can be easily fixed like this. Nice tips though =). And yeah, why can't some tradesman run a bead cleanly? It's not rocket science.

    or do it the way the pros do - take all the tape off the double sided ,spray it with glass cleaner so it doesnt stick ,glass in - toe and heel - beads in - cleaner evaporates and glass is stuck - bingo

      You need a 5mm expansion gap around all edges so subtract 10mm from each of the width and the height and you should be fine.

    I hate to worry you but you have what are known as burglar windows, your house insurance will be invalid if you have to make a claim, the window capping should always be on the internal face. I haven't seen these for years but I do know if you forget your keys you can get in with no damage, please for the safety of the family fit some new ones yourself, you will do a much better job then the trades did.
