Summary
A window hardware replacement in Glenview, Hamilton involved repairing a latch that kept falling out of its screw holes while reusing the existing hardware. The customer asked for the old latch to be secured to the window frame and made fully functional despite stripped or damaged mounting holes. The job received 1 offer and the selected offer was $120. Photos supplied showed a latch intact for reuse alongside screw holes that had become damaged, which guided the agreed approach. The handyman reused the original latch, stabilised the mounting around the stripped holes, and securely fitted the latch so the lock now operates correctly. The customer gave a 5/5 rating and left: "Very happy with the work the handyman did, ticked all the boxes for a job well done." All work met the customer's requirements to reuse the latch, secure it in the frame and ensure reliable operation.
