How To Release and Repair a Jammed Upvc Window 

Great video, you don't see many showing this technique, it's usually the Allen key method which can cause damage. Thanks for sharing 👍

Try doing this on an externally beaded toilet window above a glass conservatory roof with a sink or toilet bowl in the way

Haven't tried it yet, but thank you so much for this video. I have tried another, to no avail - feeling confident this will work. Will try to remember to let you know.

Thats mint. I break windows out fairly often due to espagnolettes ceasing and never knew this technique. Fair play. Thank you.

Thanks again for another extremely helpful video 👍👍

Thank you for the wonderful guide. I've followed your instructions, but after drilling the larger hole I find that there is not only metal where I would expect the espag plate to be, but there is also metal up the sides (or front and back if you're looking face on to the frame), which looks like it might be a metal U-frame reinforcement - am I correct? I've only drilled though one layer of plastic. Am I to drill though the metal, possibly another layer of plastic, before I hit the espag? The frame is made by Profile 22. Many thanks.

Just had a new glazing unit installed but the fitter didn't check the mechanism, so they closed and locked the window and now it is jammed shut. replaced the handle to see if that was the problem, but seems either the lock box mech has jammed or the shoot bolts are stuck in the locked position. Little bit scared to remove the beads now

Did this this morning and it worked brilliantly. So well in fact next time I'll try this way first. The replacement parts I got from upvc spares4repairs were easy to fit.

great video, thanks

Use a die grinder, much better
