    Just completed fitting a side opening lock in my third floor flat thanks to your clear instructions. A bit awkward being off the ground, but what appeared at first to be a daunting task turned out to be fairly simple. Many thanks.

      Yea, I've just moved into a 2nd floor flat with two failed locks. The handle is at the bottom of the frame so the mechanism will be a bit difficult to remove and replace I think. Never done anything like that before so I'm just weighing up the job and trying to learn before attempting it.

      Take the beads off then take the glass out then you can unscrew the hinges to take the window out it makes it much easier if you dont want to be stuck in an awkward positions especially when high off the ground not worth the falling risk 👍🏼

    Thank you for the video! I replaced my discontinued Mila GR105 window lock this weekend with a Kore inline espag lock. I went for a 1000mm length, 20mm backset and 16mm width and it fit perfectly. I just had to relocate the screws and the keeps which was really easy since the screws from the previous lock were self drilling. The advice in this video was very helpful.

    Dear Paddy, hello, thank you for these videos. Are you drilling a new hole in the UPVC frame, when you re-position up the receiver, please? I don't know (anything about windows, and) whether there are pre-existing screw holes? Thank you, best wishes

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  4 місяці тому

      I'm just using the same screws to make the new holes. Pvc is like wood, as long as the screw has a sharp point at the tip, it will cut a new hole as your screwing it in. If your screws have a drill tip ( these are called self drill screws) it just means there is some metal reinforcing under the pvc layer. These will drill through both pvc and metal as you screw them in

  • @robertgerrard
    @robertgerrard 3 роки тому

    My window had the key in it and the key broke and the half of the key is still in the lock.I made the mistake of just pulling on the handle until the lock broke and I could open my window and shut it again but I wasn't aware at the time that I could have got the key half that was left in the lock out and then open the window without breaking it using a hak if you want to call it that.Basically I need to get the lock fixed and sort out the window as there is now a draft coming through where the key went in and in another corner of the window and in winter it's obviously worse.I would really appreciate some real advice or anything that can help me to move forward and get the window back to what it was before when there was absolutely no draft and it was great.Thanks for the great video very good guy.

  • @StuckInTheM1ddle
    @StuckInTheM1ddle 11 місяців тому

    Hi Paddy - I've just fitted a new espag lock into a bathroom top closing window. The new parts' dimensions perfectly matched the old (as per your other video on the 6 measurements needed). I previously replaced the hinges on this window so they are fairly new also - the gearbox in the old espag broke hence replacing. A problem I've encountered is that the window is quite difficult to close as the mushroom cams engage with the old receivers. I loosened off the cams into the summer setting (away from the seal) and it did help a bit but the window is still very stiff when closing, it will close however. I'm not sure of anything else I can adjust to back it off a little (If I keep turning on the cams when furthest away from the seal they start going back towards it again so I know I'm at the maximum distance I can be away from seal). - Any ideas?

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  11 місяців тому

      You could have the hinges positioned too low or too high. So the rollers on the espag are rubbing the bottom of the receiver or the top of the receiver. Just have a look where abouts the rollers are lining up in relation to the receivers

    Hello Paddy, just a quick question;: if the locks on a window are only just going into the receivers, would this affect the compression of the sash against the frame?

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  2 роки тому

      No. You can adjust the compression of rollers with an Allen key. That's if you want the sash to seal tighter (or looser)

      @johngartland6706 2 роки тому

      @@PaddysDiy Thank you for your reply. I've set the rollers for maximum compression, but when closed there's a bit of a gap at the top of the sash on the lock side. Is there anything else I check that might be stopping the sash fully sealing against the frame? Thank you again.

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  2 роки тому

      @John Gartland i think i misunderstood. If the roller should travel into the opening of the receiver about 10mm. If its only just catching the receiver it would definitely effect how much it compresses. You'll have to move the position of the receiver

    Thanks for the video. When you were moving the receivers on the frame, did you drill new holes in the frame, or there are already holes and you just needed to move receiver and to screw it back?

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  7 років тому

      No when i moved the receiver there are no holes. I use the screws to create new holes. The screws are self tapping, the point of the screw cuts into the PVC, creating a new hole. Most windows will have steel reinforcing behind the PVC. If this is the case, the screws will have self drill tips (the tip has a drill point that drills through the reinforcing). If you reuse the screws that hold in the receiver you can't go wrong.

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  3 роки тому +1

      Not a stupid question at all, Great question in fact. There could be a few different reasons why. First thing to try is to open the window out and close the handle, and see if it closes down fully. If it does close, then the handle and lock are fine but there is something blocking the mechanism from closing. If it doesn't close, then either the handle or the mechanism is the problem. Could be something as simple as the lock in the handle protruding in the wrong position

      Sounds like the handle is broken. Try the method in this video

    I guess I'm in trouble because my window is stuck in the locked position and the replacement handle simply rotates in the mechanism, just like the old one, so not sure how I can get the window open to change the espag....

    I have a broken 750mm long 20mm backset mechanism from Munster Joinery (2003) but it has 3 mushrooms on it not 2 as shown on the GR80. I can't seem to find this mechanism anywhere with 3 mushroom cams, would you have this?

    Hi, I've removed my handle but the spindle has come away from the handle and is jammed. I can turn it with a pair of mole grips but not pull it out. I've tried wd40 and left overnight. Any other ideas?

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  5 років тому

      Is it just the spindle left? or is the base of the handle left too?

    Mine is completely jammed. I cant even turn the handle fully to get to the other screw. Its as if the gearbox is stopping me from turning the handle up, as you would normally do to unlock it... 😐

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  Рік тому

      Is the handle moving partially and stopping?

      Yes, it moves up a bit then it's stuck. I either get a locksmith £££🤬 or I somehow saw the handle off, but I reckon I'll still not open it.

    • @PaddysDiy
      @PaddysDiy  Рік тому

      @sj-30000 just make sure the handle itself is not locked. If its definitely not locked, force the handle into the open position, remove the handle, then use the method in this video

    My window lock has broken to the point where the handle just turns up and down but it doesn't actually unlock the window so i can't open it to gain access to the side strip - any ideas?
