Mend Upvc Window Mechanism

UPVC Window Half Mechanism Permanently Locked???!!!?

Hi,

My UPVC window has suddenly stopped opening. On moving the handle to the open position, only the top locking bolt moves - the bottom one remains fixed. I have already taken the handle off and tried to move the mechanism underneath manually but with no success - it seems to be well and truely stuck.

Does anyone have any idea how I can go about fixing this?

Many Thanks!

Hi,

Solution for you might be to use of piece flat steel made and bend it in form of L sign. Then pull it between window and wall in lower corner of it and push down.
