Can you get at the handle screws Paul ?
Is it a plastic upvc job..

if its a plastic window one screw will be under a plastic cap..the other is under the handle.

remove the screw with the cap the other under the handle so u can remove it and then see if it will turn using the window mechanism

[QUOTE 3650043, member: 45"]We have tilt and turn windows. One of them is stuck in the closed position, with the handle turning freely.

Does anyone know how I can get it open to fix it?[/QUOTE]
Get one of you locals ne'er do wells / criminal element to have a look. They will have it open in seconds.

Probable best to call a window dr man Paul as they will know how..

anyone like this in your area? Or a window fitter may help
think its repairable but a new window may be cheapest option

Get it in the corner or it'll bounce back and kill you.

Tried the metal strip idea. Assuming you can open one half of the window & insert the strip. You have then the problem of trying to get it past the rest of the locking mechanism. The closer to the "locked" section the harder it becomes.
