louise554   10 #1 Posted July 6, 2015 Our house windows seem to be getting stuck. The mechanism is working but they just will not open. This has happened on two different windows. Does anyone have any advice?  I have tried goggling this problem and its suggested removing the window lock barrel which should release the window but this has not worked.  Thanks  Louise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Try pushing the window handle right to the top fully after you have pressed the button in. then push on the window opening part Edited July 7, 2015 by spider1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
