UPVC Window/Handle problem

ellal · Monday at 12:46 PM

I've got two top hinged windows in a bay window that open and close ok, but the handles appeared stuck.
(not locked)

Took the handles off, and they worked fine.

Replaced into the windows and they wouldn't budge.

I have no clue as to the inner workings, so is there something I can do/check before getting a call out?

Rusty mechanism?

Possibly.

Tried gently hammering the pins after loosening the screws on the bottom plate but with no luck.

Sprayed a lubricant (WD40) but not budging.
