Window hinge rivet removal

To remove rivets from upvc or aluminium windows follow the instructions below.

For larger windows we advise you buy a Glass sucker to effectively put a handle on your window

Step 1: Open the hinge to show the rivets
Step 2: Use a 4mm or 5mm drill bit and gently drill the top off the rivet , be very careful not to drill through the rivet . You are just taking the top off.
Step 3: Once the top of the rivet is removed you will see a small circle, this is the old rivet. Push it through into the frame using drill bit (not spinning)
Step 4: Refit new hinges to window using screws or rivets.
