I have started to have to replace shattered gearboxes on our upvc windows - normally after having to remove the glass unit and twist the window open!
The windows all use Saracen 05058 gearboxes with toothed Shootbolts, which after years of lack of maintenance have started falling apart!
When replacing them, I’m finding a black
Compressible sleeve in the hole between the gearbox and the window frame surface, which I assume are to stop crushing of the frame. Problem Is, some are pretty knackered - and I can’t find them online anywhere under any name I can think of! Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
On a side point, does anyone know of a decent upgrade lock and shoot bolts that could easily retrofit into the same setup I currently have?
