Hello all

Havnt been in my new house for too long so havnt got a chance to open all the windows yet, what with the wether and everything.

But recently i tried to open one of the windows in the bathroom. The top small one opens no problem. The bigger one however seemed to be locked. So i tried to unlock it with the key and it only turns a quarter turn, as opposed to a half turn which should open the window.

Hence im stuck with a window that i cant open. Iv tried quite hard with the key to turn it the rest of the quarter, but i think the key will break before the lock opens.

Any ideas?

Anything i can use to try and grease the lock from the inside?

Many thanks.

Hope i can get this to work, but hopefully here are some pics.

This is of the window in question, note the top window opens, but the big window wont as the lock is stuck:-

The key itself, if you cant see what it says, it has stamped on it "Securi Style 905". If that makes sense to someone:-

This is of the whole key:-

Hopefully the images above will help. But if you need to see anything else then please just ask.

All i want is for this window to open.

So looking at this lock, can anything be done without having to get someone out to it or without the hassle of replacing it?

Cheers.
