Grille Fit Troubleshooting Guide
Check Lock Keeper (Double-Hung Windows Only)
This applies only to 200 Series Narroline® and 400 Series Tilt-Wash double-hung windows. If the grille does not fit behind the lock keeper, review Why is My New Interior Removable Grille Not Fitting Behind the Lock Keeper on my Double-Hung Window?.
Grille Clip Adjustment
If the grille feels loose, try bending the grille clips inward toward the center of the glass. This adjustment can help tighten the fit and improve stability.
Plunger Inspection
Please look over the grille to make sure that all plungers are present and none are missing. Any missing or broken grille fasteners should be replaced to ensure a secure fit.
Oversized Grille
Make sure the grille clips are fully seated against the wood glass stop. This positioning provides the necessary clearance for the grille to fit properly.
Replacement Parts
Replacement grilles and fasteners are available through the Andersen® Windows & Doors Parts Store. If you are requesting a replacement product, please confirm the unobstructed glass dimensions and the glass code information. These details are essential to ensure the correct replacement is provided.
