KEYS FOR JOHN CARR WINDOW HANDLES

Post by rautospoon »

Hi, Has anyone got or know where I can obtain a couple of the "keys" that fit the window handle shown on the photo attaced. ?
Jeldwen (who "took over" John Carr) cannot assist. I just want keys not replacement handles.
Cheers.

If the house is in an estate situation one of the neighbours might be the easiest route.

Thanks. I will enquire but not very hopeful as most, if not all, have had the original wooden frames replaced with UVPC, as have I on all but 3 window frames.
Cheers.

Spot on!

Luckily I had a spare handle which I took to my local locksmiths this morning, they had the correct key "in stock" and I bought a couple.

Cheers!
