How to Transfer Casement Window Hardware Like a Pro (Without Calling One)

So you’ve got your shiny new handcrafted wood casement sash from Fenster (nice choice, by the way), and now you’re wondering: “What the heck do I do with this pile of old hardware still clinging to my vintage window?”

No worries, friend. We’ve got you.

DIY Window Hardware Transfer in Under 2 Minutes

We just dropped a quick 2-minute tutorial on our YouTube channel showing you exactly how to transfer the hardware from your old casement sash to your new Fenster sash. Yes, it’s actually that easy.

Tools you’ll need:

• Pencil (for marking like a seasoned pro)
• Tape measure (so things actually line up)
• Drill (because your thumbs aren’t screwdrivers)

That’s it. No specialty tools. No degree in mechanical engineering. Just a little elbow grease and a dash of confidence.

Why Bother Transferring the Hardware?

We’re all about saving you time, money, and unnecessary stress. Reusing your original hardware:
