This was my conclusion as well; royally f-cked. I know the seams are both overlapping. I've thoroughly inspected all around and there is no other way to access that latch. It is only supposed to be accessible when the right window is open. No clue how it locked.sundaymorningstaple wrote:I have similar type and I'd say you have a real problem as the right window has an overlapping seal on the outside just like the left window has an overlapping plate on the inside thereby making access from either size virtually impossible without damaging the overlapping strip. I have my doubts re: locksmith so you would probably need to call a window installer as they will probably have to do some surgery. How long has it been like that? Was it like that when you moved in or did it happen subsequently?
No keys, no keyholes. It's been like this only for a few months, they definitely opened the first few months we lived here. As this is where the "improved" laundry poles are, it will be obvious quite quickly to anyone that there is a problem.ecureilx wrote:you didn't try a bit of brute force ?? LOlzzm9980 wrote:...
well, the types of windows you shown tend to get stuck, as the lock gets a bit worn out.
A lock smith ? My 2 cents - no, it is more like hard labour to release it..
Now do see if there is a key somewhere, and if so, check it is unlocked - a few landlords tend to close the window and throw away the key, lest the tenant breaks it ..
My guess is the thing is simply locked. Then a locksmith can get it undone in like 2 minutes
I just tried a stack of hotel point cards (so pointless to have even mail out when everyone has the iPhone or Android apps), and none worked. The gap is too tight, even when I push hard.nakatago wrote:Old credit, bank or loyalty cards, top-up cards (e.g. Starhub's is made of plastic). I used to keep a stack of them just in case I need to unlock a bedroom door in case someone gets locked out.
