uPVC windows: handle/lock is broken
Anyone got tips on replacing/repairing uPVC window handles?
The problem is with a small casement window. The handle is stuck in the open position, due North and won't turn into the closed position, due West. The handle has a pushbutton/keyhole combination on it. Is it easy to "swap out" such a dodgy handle? Bruce |

Maybe take the old one to compare screw centres but they'll be the same almost guaranteed. |

Depends on age. Obsolescence may mean having to replace the whole
window. |
