Your thoughts please. Woman Happy

 

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?

Send all the cakes to Glyn then please 🙂

 

He eats all the cream cakes and everything that is bad for you and still only 11 stones and 6ft !!    No one else would get away with that.     He works it all off in his full time job as well as all the decorating and gardening he does at home.

 

If that were me.....just one look at a cake and i would put on pounds

So hope all eventually goes ahead for you Marge for your operation. Shame you have to have one of course. ((hugs))

I will do my best to eat your share of the cakes. Woman Very Happy

 

That's fine Shirl as I could easily eat your share of cakes. I am 4ft 11 and 7st so best I tuck in. Woman Very Happy

I will send some across to your Glyn, of course all cakes will be tested first. Woman LOL

Check 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.
