Video

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a question, how do you remove a stuck or jammed restrictor. My window does not open much anymore. Nay help or advice will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for this. I was just going to bed, went to close the window which was on the latch/open, pressed the button and felt it snap but it stayed locked! Its cold tonight and I was envisaging having to stuff the gap with blankets, literally got the handle moving in seconds following your video and using a thin knife to release the lock! Window now closed! Thanks.

If time is not of value you can repair.

Doesn't work for me 😂

Thanks

Thanks mate. This video has been very useful for me.

Hi Paddy, I've been trying your method on my old Everest windows for a while now without luck. Any tip for them?

thank you ,perfect job , had waited 3 weeks for window supplier to tell me ..still wating

Why do you install the restrictions in the channel closest to the seal?

Thank you so much for this video.. after nagging the other half for a year I decided to give it a go with the help of a CZcams vid.. this worked like a dream

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Could you please share the link where we can buy the exact letterbox. Thanks

😮

Great video . What make/model is your riveter ? Thanks

That's a handy riveter you used in the video . What make/model is it ? Thanks

Thanks mate! Quick, clear and simple video which sorted the problem. Nice weather outside = boiling in my bedroom. Tried to open window which closed just yesterday and to my surprise it won't work. 5 mins thinking all possibilities , my mind racing that I might need to call someone to fix it - don't want just to rip off the handle. Let's google = 5 mins later thanks to you mate it was sorted. Didn't fixed problem why button does not activate plastic release latch inside handle. Tried to play with it, accidently broke off locking plastic bit inside handle and f it then. Handle works just button is useless now. Happy.

incredible

Just brilliant! 😁

great tip how to get the handle opened when locked!

Saved me so much like a green house in here I used a metal decorating scraper 👍

My stuck window (on one side) has only a pin that goes in/out on each side rather than these roller locks. Any ideas how to push the pin inwards on the stuck side?

Great video. Hopefully can open my broken window handle now. Love ur cute accent too 😊

Thank you so much! Saved the day!

Just what I needed. Thank you👍🏽

Mine is made of bronze and the lock mechanism is into the top not bottom . So could not open

Hi my lock is other way around. I try to put the card in and also a flat hair pin from thr side but as the latch wont move it quite hard i have spend more than an hour on this

Thank you! Saved two of our window handles by cutting off the remainder of the cheep'o plastic latch that was holding them shut. It's astonishing how thin the working parts are on the inside.

great vid, thank you, have the window open for the frist time in a long ting time. the lock mechanism seems to work but not with the handle. Should I just replace the handle or would I be better off replacing the lot?. Thanks again.

Thanks!

Great video, many thanks!

A part where the spindle in the handle goes into has broken off and stopped working. Tried doing this for the past week and nothings working. Anything else I can do?

Thanks Paddy you’re a legend

Thanks man, that was super useful!

Cheers mate, saw your video and I thought this is effort so I called a handy man and quoted me £169, I hung up and sorted it myself

This method did not work for me. The pin that keeps the window locked is still in the hole and no way I can get it out using this method.. Do you have video or advice how to disassemble the entire mechanism or whatever else could fix it?

THANK YOU, hair clip worked..lots of wiggling, swearing…but it worked!!

What a fix - thank you for this Great video

This worked brilliantly. Thank you. I struggled for a while until I got the stepladders and tried it with downward pressure bingo!!

Where can we buy these

My window has been locked slightly open for days and you have just saved me from sleeping under 3 blankets😅! Thank you!

Hi @PaddysDiY do you have a video on how to fix a sagging window? i recently replaced hinges and its catching ever so slightly so i've got to lift the window as i open it otherwise it gets stuck on the lip of the frame

Good job!!!

I know others have commented already, but wow. Your video saved me from a really cold night last night as I had locked it slightly open (we call it on the latch!) during the day when it was warm and allowed a little air to come in from the 1inch gap it left while locked. Your video was short, too the point and easy to find, took only a few mins and I was able to unlock the handle and pull the window fully closed. Literally saved me from frostbitten toes! Thanks mate!

Thank goodness. Thank you mate

You're a freaken lifesaver! Just "fixed" our window! Now the cats can use the catio outside again.

Thanks for that

Thanks 🎉

Thank you so much, it helped solve my window problem (spindle was loose but not detached).

What a absolute legend! My mrs has been going mental at me! I was planning on removing the complete handle! And i just watched this! Used my bank card and it works!!! LOVE IT

Worked a treat 👍🏻
