Paddy's DIY - How to open a locked or broken window handle
Another great instructional video brought to you by Paddy's DIY
In this video I'm going to show you my methods for opening two of the most common types of window handles found in Ireland and the UK.
Over the years there have been hundreds if not thousands of window handles made by different manufacturers. The majority can be locked by a key of some form or another.
Generally speaking, there are 3 main types of locking mechanisms used in window handles. There are two types of autolocking mechanisms and a deadlocking type. In this video i'm going to deal with the two types of autolocking locks.
Locking window handles are fitted to the vast majority of windows manufactured in Ireland and the UK. The operation of a locking window handle is simple. Push the button lock with your thumb to release the lock and turn the handle lever to open the window. When the handle is returned to the closed position, the window handle locks automatically. Sometimes the push button lock of the window handle can break stopping it from being released. Imitating the symptoms of a broken window espag lock.
How can I tell the difference between a broken window handle / locked window handle or a broken window espag lock.
It is easy to tell the difference, here is a quick guide:
A broken window handle lock: The button lock will push in, but will not release
A locked window handle: The button will not push in and will not release
A broken window espag lock: The window handle lock releases and the handle will turn, but the window will not open.
Depending on the type of locking mechanisms that are in your window handles. You will need an item / tool to open the locks. I'm going to show you what to use and the method to use to open each type.
