Broke the handle off a top light window the other day because the shoot bolt mechanism is corroded.
How easy is it to get a window out, open it up and repair/replace the mechanism and fit new matching handles as there are at least three different types in the house.
Windows are circa 1980.
DIY or get an expert in?
Had to do the same recently, easy enough but took a few goes as my allen key (as per the first video link) wasn't long enough so had to use a metal coat hanger that was a little flexible. check off an identical window if needed to double check if your locks release inwards or outwards otherwise you may be tugging in the wrong direction.
Thanks learn something new everyday.
