We have a window that is stuck closed. It appears (based on the window next to it) to have a Saracen deadlock gearbox with rods that extend directly into the frame (when closed) as opposed to having a roller.
The handle will turn and one side of the window will slightly move (1-2mm) when trying to open but the other side will not move at all.
I am assuming the gearbox has malfunctioned/broken and thus the rod will not retract, hence this side of the window not moving.
My question is how can I remove the gearbox and rods to replace when I cannot get the window open?
Many thanks in advance
