The most common problems and their solutions:
- Noise from the street began to be heard from closed windows and doors, blowing is possible, and in winter ice appears along the edges of the sashes - this damage can be corrected by adjusting and lubricating the fittings.
- Solution. It is necessary to check the operation of each clamp and fastening of the strikers. Partial or complete replacement is carried out.
- When closing, the handles do not return to their original positions, more force has to be applied, and squeaks are heard.
- Solution. This happens extremely rarely with a German manufacturer; it usually happens due to routine repairs or clogging of mechanisms. It is necessary to carry out maintenance, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment. If serious damage is detected, it will have to be replaced.
- The handle is jammed, doors (windows) do not open or close, metal elements fall out.
- Solution. Diagnostics is necessary, partial replacement is possible.

Common breakdowns with Fuhr fittings
The Fuhr manufacturing company specializes in the production of translucent structures, which means it produces only proven windows with an extended service life.
However, if used incorrectly or installers make mistakes, the fittings may fail.
How does this manifest itself?
- Sounds began to be heard from the street with the window closed. As a rule, after this, blowing and many other problems begin.
- From time to time the windows “cry”. At the slightest increase in humidity or temperature in the room, the glass immediately fogs up - a clear sign of depressurization.
- The handle turns with creep or resistance, the same can happen with the sash. Do not apply force under any circumstances, as this may lead to complete failure of the structure.
- The handle or sash is stuck in one position.
At the first symptoms, it is possible to “save” the window by adjusting the fittings. Afterwards it may be too late and the window will need to be replaced.
If at least one of the above problems occurs, immediately contact a specialist. Our technicians will arrive promptly with all the necessary tools to fix the problem.

How to choose the right one for plastic windows?
For many buyers, PVC window fittings are not the main thing, because they are not noticeable, most of their components are hidden. However, even with the best double-glazed windows and metal profiles, with a poor fittings set, a PVC window will not last even half of its intended life. This is explained by the fact that it is these mechanisms that are subject to the greatest dynamic and mechanical loads.
Criteria for choosing PVC window fittings:
the ability to withstand large and prolonged loads without breakdowns;- comfort in operation and repair, absence of special maintenance requirements;
- long service life without breakdowns;
- resistance to corrosion processes;
- integration of additional functions into the system;
- anti-burglary system with mushroom-shaped pins and a large number of locking points;
- slot ventilation mechanisms;
- blocker to protect against erroneous action.
It should be remembered that the price of high-quality fittings reaches 15% of the cost of a PVC window.
More information in the article at the link.
Accessories material
The high-quality and long-term functioning of windows largely depends on the fittings; they bear the main load of the working mechanisms. Accordingly, to guarantee the comfort and safety of the home, the fittings must be made of reliable high-carbon steel, ensuring long-term operation of the mechanism. Plastic elements in this case serve only a decorative role.
Please note: the material of the fittings may differ for different window sash materials. Therefore, fittings are divided by area of application into:
- PVC window fittings
- fittings for wooden windows
- fittings for aluminum windows
Other manufacturers of window fittings.
Of course, the list of companies producing hardware mechanisms in Germany is not limited to the above brands. There are others, less well known, for example:
- Hautau;
- Hoppe;
- Fuhr;
- Selve;
- ARtec VARIO ET;
- Schuring;
- S.F.T.
The products of these companies are focused primarily on aluminum and plastic windows. Separate fittings can certainly be suitable for light-transmitting wood products, but to be completely sure, you should check this possibility with the managers of the company that sells wooden window structures.
Siegenia-AUBI.
It was born under its own name Siegenia-AUBI only in 1998, as a result of the merger of two companies Siegenia (1914) and AUBI (1973). The main production of Siegenia-AUBI fittings is now established in two countries - Germany and Poland. The products are aimed at both wooden windows and metal-plastic products. It features high quality and service life. It has a nice design and excellent functionality.
Siegenia PORTAL ES
PORTAL ES combines an easily controlled lift-and-slide opening system with a parallel-sliding-tilting system, which is characterized by a high degree of tightness. The combination of a continuous circular seal, a sophisticated system of guides and rollers, as well as special locking elements - all this ensures the characteristics declared by the manufacturer in terms of functionality and convenience. The 16 mm fitting groove for the drive corresponds to the standard groove of a tilt-and-turn window, so no special conversion is required to start production.
Roto.
Speaking about fittings from Germany, first of all there is an association with the well-known manufacturer of this type of product - the company Roto , which is considered the oldest among German manufacturers. The history of the company goes back to 1935, when one of its managers invented a mechanism for a single-sash window, making it possible to operate it both open and tilt. This mechanism is called a tilt-and-turn mechanism. By our time, it has been supplemented with new capabilities, although the principles laid down in it almost a century ago have remained unchanged.
Today, the production of German fittings for Roto windows has been established for all types of modern light-transmitting structures, among which plastic and wooden windows have won the majority of the market.
Roto was one of the first to enter the Russian window fittings market, and immediately gained popularity among buyers of this type of product. However, the company's activities do not end only with the production of fitting mechanisms. Today, almost half of the Russian market is made up of Roto roof windows. By the way, the Roto production workshop is located on the territory of our country - in Noginsk near Moscow.
Siegenia PORTAL FS
When it is necessary to open a large opening in the absence of stationary elements, the folding opening principle is unparalleled. These are the systems that Siegenia offers in the PORTAL FS fittings series.
The doors can be opened in a matter of seconds, providing an open space width of up to 6.3 m. The special protective coating of the fittings gives freedom both in the choice of color design and in the environment of use. FS portals that open outward provide additional operational space.
Portal fittings of this series are suitable for sashes weighing up to 80 kg. Up to 7 sashes of the specified weight can be used in one design.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of the mechanisms:
- availability of choice of type and method of portal opening;
- a differentiated system has practically no limits of application;
- thoughtful ergonomics.
Disadvantages of mechanisms:
- a high degree of functionality and material consumption makes the fittings relatively expensive.

German fittings for Wink Haus windows meet all the requirements for operational reliability accepted on the European continent. When choosing products from this company for your home, you can rest assured of their quality and long service life.
GU (Gretsch-Unitas).
The profile of the GU (Gretsch-Unitas) company is not limited to the production of high-quality fittings. The German concern (today it includes 15 enterprises) develops and produces automatic entrance systems that are responsible for the unified control of windows and doors throughout the building. Among other things, the advantages of the German giant include the fact that GU fittings are capable of providing any method of opening a window - from mid-hung to parallel-sliding.
