Ideas for industrial window screen

I know it’s a long shot but has anyone ever seen a window screen (or mesh/screen-like solution) for a window like this? Willing to buy or build.

Been in a converted factory loft for over a decade with a few of these windows, and they are great other than all the bugs they let in…I’ve looked for years, hoping something pops up or someone invents something, but here we are.

How do I install the Savio Manon handle!?

I was here a few weeks back ripping this handle off with plyers. Now I have the new handle, and I still can't figure out how this frigging handle attaches to this door!?

I don't have access to the interior where I would need to fasten these screws.

Upstairs UPVC Opening Window dropped

Our bathroom window scrapes along the bottom of the frame when opening and closing. There is a bit of play if you push the window upwards which makes it less of a scrape, but it still does scrape.

What can I do?

Standing in the gap (between doors)

My husband and I have a sliding glass door. We would LOVE to leave it open during this heat wave, but we can't because there's a 2 inch gap between it and the screen door on the side facing the yard. The gap is right at the top, where the rubber weatherstripping stops. Last time we tried leaving the door open, we were killing flies all through the winter. Anyone got ideas on how to fix this? Even if has to be a removable one?

French Door Hinges

During warm weather these old UPVC French doors expand and prevent normal closure, the top gap is 9mm and the bottom is 16mm so they were badly fitted in the first place. The hinges shown are as tight as I can get them so the only solution I can see is to remove and realign the hinges on the frame.

My question is can this be done, how and will it compromise the frame?

How do I repair casement window that doesn’t close properly?

So one of my casement window does not fully close. First three pictures showing where the door’s mechanism has broken and came off of its groove (pardon the dust). The fourth picture is of a working window that closes properly.

A friend of mine said if I can figure out the part number, and buy it, he will try to replace it. I got a number shown in the last picture. Is there a way to repair it?

The window is otherwise in good condition.

Thanks in advance.

Window misalignment

My german window is stuck and i am not able to close it , i think closed it somewhat incorrectly later today which made it misaligned and i have been trying to fix this since past hour or two , i have tried asking chatgpt and surfed youtube where i came across many videos but couldn’t find a fix.

The window is not closing properly vertically and the handle moves till like 1’o clock only. This is ARDNT branded window if it matters.

I think the Fehlbedienungssperre is triggered here which i cant seem to find and fix.

Any help would be highly appreciated , i have another exactly same window on the left. I can share the mechanism of it , if you could help.

Thanks.
Guten Tag
