    Door handle won't open

    You might struggle with that option now I’ve seen the window. Your only option might be to make a sort of cockspur hold on the frame. Basically it’s using the handle only and a separate locking point. Send me a photo of the handle and locking point or is that it with the key in .

    Door handle won't open
