hey guys
complete window novice please bear with me
got 3 windows round the house which are what I think are top hung/hinged. The handle which is at the bottom of the opening window and centre, seems to be connected to a pin either side of the window (not along the bottom of the frame) and these pins come out of the side of the frame and into stays to keep the window locked
Problem: Trying to open window, lift handle and it seems only 1 pin seems to retract and the other either stays or doesnt retract enough allowing me to open. I have to remove handle and get a small screwdriver and literally wiggle the whole mechanism side to side and eventually it pops open.
Now, of these what I seem to believe are "shootbolts"?? they all seem to have pins on the bottom which I dont have?
Any ideas? and I hope this generally makes sense
