Kitchen window will not unlock
Your thoughts please. 
My kitchen windows are double-glazed, and lock with a key. One of the windows will not unlock with the key, it's as if the handle has dropped a bit.
Would it be possible for me to ask a repair man to fix the actual lock, or would I end up having to have a whole new window?

·3 years agoCheck for any visible signs of damage or misalignment: Inspect the window frame, handle, and lock mechanism for any obvious signs of damage or misalignment. Sometimes, a minor adjustment or realignment can resolve the issue.Otherwise i know a website that wooden window repair and they give very fast service.

Worst case senario....I think you would probably just need to have the handle replaced.

OP9 years agoThank you Glyn.
Just I was thinking as the bolts are down due to the handle being locked it might be hard for getting it unlocked. So I started to think possibly the whole window would need replacing.
I know a lot about cooking, but of course not knowing technical thingies like locks.

·9 years agoTo be honest if someone knows what they are doing it should not be that difficult.
Basically it is just a case of taking the handle off and there should be a bar running top to middle and bottom to middle, with a lever on them. It is just a case of adjusting them to open the window.
We have similar windows at home.....all replaced 5 years ago and i fixed a similar problem.
