Got a bit of bovver with a couple of window locks on some double glazed
PVC replacement windows that were fitted some 6-8 odd years ago.

Two handles have fallen to bits but what's worse is that you can turn
them but the bottom of the window unlocks but the top remains in
place!..

Anyone any ideas on how, short of seemingly breaking the thing, you can
undo the window and anyone recommend anyone on line who does replacement
locking mechanisms and handles?..


TIA....

I had a similar problem and called the supplier/installer back and he came
and spent half a day repairing the failing ones and checking most of the
others that had any sort of problem.. There was no charge as we still had
the brochure and the receipt and the brochure stated "guaranteed for ten
years". A couple of the windows he had to almost take apart as the lock
mechanism had seized closed.

I have the same problem on a unit i bought from B&Q and fitted myself. The
window is nearly two years old, its UPVC and looks almost a sealed unit, so
how would i go about repairing it? is this possible as i don't fancy ripping
the whole window out and buying a new one.

Thanks,
Tom
