Locks Like New, Same Visit
Locks & Latches
A Window That Won't Lock Isn't Secure — And It's an Easy Fix
Most Raleigh homeowners live with a window that won't latch for years, because every company they call wants to talk replacement. The truth: locks, latches and cranks are catalog parts. We carry and source them for every brand — and your window locks like new the same visit.

-
Door locks and deadlatch mechanisms — $175

After a Break-In
Break-In Damage Repaired — Fast and Discreet
After an attempted or actual break-in, the damage is usually concentrated where the intruder pried: the lock, the latch, the strike plate, sometimes the glass. All of it is repairable — and getting it fixed fast is what makes your home feel like yours again. Businesses: we service commercial door hardware too, including panic bars and closers.

The Process
How Hardware Repair Works in Raleigh
Hardware is the fastest repair we do — most of it is diagnosed, priced and fixed within one visit.
01/Describe the Symptom
Won't lock, won't stay up, grinds when you crank it — your words are enough. Photos help us bring the right part the first time.
02/Match the Part
Window hardware is brand- and era-specific. We identify the exact latch, lock, balancer or operator your window uses — for any brand.
03/Swap It On the Spot
Most hardware swaps take under an hour. Catalog price confirmed in writing before we start: latches $115, locks $175, cranks $275.
04/Test & Warranty
We cycle the window or door with you — lock, unlock, open, close — and back the part and the work with a written warranty.

“I have three kids, and they accidentally broke the tempered glass on our door. I contacted WowFix, but I had to wait for weeks for a technician. Despite the wait, I can't complain because they offered a reasonable price, and their technician did an excellent job replacing the glass.”

Window & Door Hardware Repair in Raleigh — FAQ
Just the lock. Window latches and cam locks are catalog parts we replace for $115, on-site, usually within the hour. A window that won't lock is a security problem worth fixing this week — not a reason to buy a new window.
Before We Arrive
How to Prepare for Your WowFix Window Repair Visit
- 1
Photograph each problem window in daylight
Snap a clear photo of every foggy, cracked or stuck window in natural light. Morning light shows fog between the panes best and lets us quote faster — often before we arrive.
- 2
Note what each window is doing wrong
Jot down the symptom per window — fog between the glass, won't open or stay up, draft, cracked pane, or rotted frame. It tells us whether it's a glass-only swap (from $198) or hardware/wood work.
- 3
Clear about three feet in front of each window
Move furniture, blinds and décor back roughly three feet so our crew can measure and work safely. It keeps the visit quick and your things out of the way.
- 4
Find any window brand or paperwork
If you have the original window brand, a sticker in the frame, or install paperwork, set it aside. It's not required, but it helps us match glass and parts on the first trip.
- 5
Make sure we can reach the windows outside
Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the exterior path to the windows. Most glass-unit work is done from both sides, so outside access keeps everything one visit.

The Rot Comes Out, Not the Window
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
Shattered Pane, Made Safe & Reglazed

Broken Glass on a Brick Ranch
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
Fog That Won't Wipe Off
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
