simeiz 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Sure np My previous owner installed this but very hard to unlock liao.So thinking to change it.To replace should be easy but dont know where to buy.Last option is ask contractor to change.Ok, will check at Homefix.(Checked Selfix but dont have this lock.)

babytan 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 tried hard to recall and i think is the person who does the window film for us installed the lock..told us corridor window very fragile la, later kana break-in etc..think it cost $40-50 each leh (we only did 2 for living room windows), think we might got carrot la but that time still young, everything also duno...uncle say do wat then do lor frankly, 6 years liao, still in good working condition cos we open and close almost everyday..the mechanism is like push and turn to lock or open maybe you try neighbourhood hardware shop or you can compare the price between your contractor and those doing windows thingy..they should sell..

Sorry for digging up this old thread. But I think this is relevant. Was approached by a door-to-door sales person, and demonstrated how easily he can slide open my newly installed sliding windows and sliding window grills even though they are locked! What a horror it was to me, but he wanted $50 per lock. He was also seriously pressing for a quick sale and said must do it today kind of thing. I brushed him off, and thanks to this thread, I managed to find the locks at $4.00 per lock. Intstalled them myself. You will need some tools to install it. Such as a powered drill, and a rivet gun if you are using rivets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
