™Does a window lock in your Old Brookville home spin without catching, or does a back door drift open after you shut it? Those are worn parts, not worn-out houses. We can usually repair them in place, so your current windows and doors stay.

Before you leave the house for a while
If you travel for part of the year, the village police take a Vacant Premise Notification. The form asks when you leave, when you return and whether you have lights, a timer and an alarm. It cannot lock a window that will not latch.
So a week or two before you go, test every lock and latch in the house. Try the cellar door, the side door and the storm doors too. If a lock is loose or a door will not swing shut by itself, call us to repair it before your trip.
Locks, latches and cranks that have worn out
A typical home in Old Brookville dates from the 1960s, and some are much newer. Whatever its age, the small metal parts tend to wear first. You may notice:
- A sash lock that turns but no longer pulls the window tight.
- A crank on a casement (a window hinged at one side) that spins and does nothing.
- A door latch that misses its strike plate, the metal plate on the frame.
New hardware is made to fit your existing window or door. We match the parts as closely as we can, so the window looks better and works the way it should.
Get an Estimate Prewar wood windows in Old Brookville
Some Old Brookville homes went up before 1940. In a house that old, the windows may be wood double hung: two sashes that ride up and down in one frame. A sash is the wood frame that holds the glass.
Old wood can be brought back. We reset loose glass, free sashes that bind and rebuild soft wood at the sill. Your home keeps the charm of its original windows, and they end up looking better than before.
What the Architectural Review Board asks for
Old Brookville’s Architectural Review Board has written design guidelines. They say the size and shape of wall openings should be “stylistically consistent.” They also favor windows that follow “the conventions of traditional styles.”
A repair leaves each opening the size and shape it is today. A new window style or size is another matter, so call the Building Department first at 516-671-4664, extension 106. It is at Village Hall, 201 McCouns Lane. Its hours are 9:30 to 1:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and it is closed on Fridays in August.

Questions from Old Brookville homeowners
We go away every winter. What should we fix before we leave?
Start with anything that will not lock or close tight. Check window locks, door latches and storm door closers. We can repair or replace those parts before you go.
My window lock just spins. Does the whole window have to go?
Usually not. The lock is a separate part screwed to the sash. In most cases we can fit a new one without changing the rest of the window.
Can you save the wood windows in a 1930s house?
Very often, yes. Many older wood windows can still be repaired. We work on the sashes, the glass and the sill, one at a time.
Old Brookville has design guidelines. Do they apply to a repair?
Check with the Building Department first, since only the village can decide. Among other things, the board’s guidelines cover the style and shape of openings. A repair keeps both as they are now.
Do you work in Upper Brookville, Brookville and Roslyn Harbor too?
Yes. Upper Brookville, Brookville and Roslyn Harbor each share a border with Old Brookville. We serve all three.
