Appreciate the time taken, too much talk that's irrelevant.

Most handles in the closed position covers access to one side of the caps

Nice to see Harry Hill is finding work 😁

Mine is completely jammed. I cant even open the handle fully to get to the other screw to get the handle off.

Its as if the whole mechanism on the side if the window has seized shut and stopping the handle from fully turning

My handle wont lock or open when i put the handle on ... Just no movement of the inner device. The handle works opening and closing but the windows just stays the same. Any ideas?

[abbie]

my handle is off but the window is still locked shut? the handle was locked before it came off is that why

[Strider]

Might as well not have locks, without multipoint locking you could simply crowbar those windows open from the outside as those handles would just snap off.
Oh and this doesn't work with that ^^ type of lock handle as the handle when locked, hides the fixing screw.

My late dad arranged for the new windows to be fitted around 6 years ago now; and yes… they are still under warranty. But the company in question.. ( Town & country window systems from Totton ) who fitted the windows.. do not seem to be particularly interested in doing any repair work on them; unless they have stopped fitting windows altogether.
i don’t own a mobile 📱 so my sister’s been trying to get in contact with them; but they are not answering or responding.
Another window company could come out and have a look at them; but look at how much they charge for that. Around £200. That seems an awful lot of money for them.. just to come out and take a look.

Yes… I’m having problems with my front windows. They will not close. Have to keep them closed with shoe laces; otherwise the windy weather will blow them back out. Cannot afford to have them replaced. Cost hundreds. No one seems to want to come out and take a look. They were fitted around 6 years ago; and they Still look as new.

This will not work on new type handle as you can't get at screw as handle will not move..

[PathsOfReason]

I have old window, the Handel is metal, it's locked in trying for months now, I don't know what to do ?

[tiki_riot]

What if you can’t get the cap off? I am losing patience with mine 😂

[chrisbelfast]

Why did you edit it just as you were going on to the 2nd set of screws .You cannot fit a screwdriver in there with the handle in the way so show us really how you did it please ?
