 Casement (Wooden) Window Lock Removal - zippy
More DIY advice sought from the knowledgeable guys here please:

I have a wooden casement window. Its got a handle that looks like this:

Save for the key mechanism which is much simpler - just a hole.

The mechanism is broken and the very simple key wont fit.

Any ideas on how to remove it? I can only access the screw above the handle and the side of the latch.

Thanks

This is a better example:

As mentioned above, the actual lock is still much simpler though.

Cut downwards through the handle in between the spindle and the lock.
