Hi
I was up a loaded having a look around the velux windows that our
builder fitted - they came in a Wickes box, have a wood effect finish,
are double glazed, with hinges in the middle, and has a sticker on that
says "Compiles with B. R Part L 2000"

Anyway, I noticed that the dark screw in the middle (see picture)

seemed to be sticking a very long way out. Worried that this had a
major part in holding the hinge on, I decided to screw it in a bit
futher not all the way. When I shut the window, it didn't seem to be
stiff or catch anything, but if I try and open the window now, something
is jamming it shut

Any idea how to get around this please. I've had a look at the other
identical window, and can't work out what it can be catching on

The screw is the latch adjuster and should be set to allow the hinge to
swing only enough to open fully for the space around the window. If you've
tightened it to far in, then you've essentially locked the window. I'd
advise you either contact the builder or Velux to get the best answer on
what to do next. Contacting the builder and telling him that the window has
jammed may get the job done of putting it right for free.

Great :-(

It seems a bit silly that such a simple screw could lock the window
