I had a HUGE window issue, the BCO wanted one thing, the planner a
different thing. To save another argument, I was tired of moths of
these two arguing, I purchased two windows, and swaped them in and out
depending who I expected to turn up next. The other window was always
left on the floor.

What I suggest you do is go down to the local rehau factory, buy a
window the BCO likes, swap it over. When she won't come back again,
put your nice window back in.

Wow - one way of sorting it I suppose! In my case the existing window
isn't particularly special though; I'm merely trying to avoid having
to buy and fit a replacement, a little add-on accessory would be much
cheaper and easier if such a thing exists, which is looking unlikely
at the moment :-(

Thanks anyway

Never had one of those dual opening windows so these ideas may be shots in
the dark.
Could a childs safety lock that are fitted to kitchen cupboards be a basis
for an idea ( the kind when you open the doorway a little then depress them
to open fully )
If it was a 'normal' upvc window then I would say glue a little plastic
block in the track the hinge slides in or you could use a piece of soft
metal i.e. aluminium that had been sawn through a little so that it
restricted the opening in normal use but in an emergency the window could be
pushed out fully with a little force ( idea behind this were those glass
firedoor bolts) or you could fit a set of restrictor hinges from toolstation
etc
Talking of firedoors what about those cable tie type things they use on the
doors that break at a certain force but keeps the doors together if the
levers are operated by accident

Anyway just a few ideas that came to mind
