Window lock advice needed
I have just moved into a new house and although the window handles are unlocked, there are other locks on the sides of the window frames.
See: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dy4QBizX4AEBMw_.jpg I have ordered two keys but they don't fit as the locks and keys are both male. Is there a female key that I need to open these windows? TIA. |

We've got those! I fitted them myself to satisfy insurers about 15 years ago. Unfortunately I've lost all but one of the keys and I can't remember who made them, so I'm not enormously helpful. -- Roger Hayter |

I bought one of these on e-bay - works great! https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~ZYAA...zP/s-l1600.jpg |
