Around 3 months back, I installed a new uPVC window in my kitchen area. A few days ago, I noticed the window lock wasn’t working. After trying a lot of things, I concluded that the lock was broken. I started researching how to open a broken UPVC window lock and found that to open it; I needed a pair of pliers and a thin tool. This tool must be at 90 degrees, like an Allen key.

How to Open uPVC Window with Broken Lock?

After procuring the materials mentioned above, start the process by moving the window handle to the open position. This will release all the working shoot bolts. Here’s what you need to do after that. 

  • Take the Allen key and insert the tool where the shoot bolts are located. They are at the top or bottom of the window or on the edge of the handle. 

  • Now, you need to push the tool towards the window handle. When you feel the tool has made contact and stopped, pull it towards the window handle. 

  • This should release the window lock. You can repeat the steps if necessary. 

And that’s how to open broken uPVC window lock. If you still have trouble after following these steps, you can hire a carpenter to fix it.
