PVCU Window Lock

[starlockkey121213132]

Hi All,

Does anyone know what type of key this lock takes? It's on PVCU window. I went to Timpsons and the chap said he hadn't seen one before. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

it appears do be a 8-pointed star. Does the star project, or is it a socket? does the centre of the star push in?

the common star key for mortice bolts only has six points.

Look at all the other window latches in the house and their keys. there may be a trade name.

there are several companies that specalise in replacement keys. For example

Window Keys - Replacement Keys Ltd

Replacement Keys Ltd stock a range of 170 different window keys. We use the latest key cutting technologies to fulfil 85% of customer orders within 24 hours.

Never seen them before. Just buy new inline espag handle. If the handle is locked - it can be forced open with a small bit of force - they are flimsy enough - you won’t damage the actual window lock, just the handle lock. The handle will still open and shut window - yank it hard as you would normally open - dont pull handle toward you

Thanks John D. The centre of the star does not push in. The star projects i.e. that is the solid bit in the middle. I'll have a look at the website you mentioned - have been googling away but have not found anything - hence the ask.
