On most of my UPVC windows, they don't close properly.
I've just been examining the kitchen window. All the windows are top hinged (an old house with tall windows).
When I push the kitchen window closed from the outside, there is a gap at the top at one side (and the other side appears "loose" when almost closed).
If I then tap the top side where the gap is, it will "click" shut firmly.
What appears to be the problem is that on the opener is a little "notch" that sticks into a little "socket" on the top of the frame (I assume this is an anti-crowbar function), and it is missing the "socket" as it closes. When I tap it, it then clicks into the socket and pulls it firm.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Do I need new hinges? I can upload pictures and a video if nessecary!
