I've searched for this to no avail; searching the internet for anything related to windows and keys produces lots of results about Microsoft but not the wooden and glass variety.
I have moved into a ground floor flat with single-glazed wooden frame windows. The window catch has a hole in it to take a small key. When this is turned, the window catch cannot be moved, hence the window is locked.
The key is like a small allen key, only is is * square *, 3mmx3mm, and the square section is about 4mm long. I only have one key which is die-cast metal. I've taken it to two local independant hardware stores who can normally order most things, but they haven't a clue!
Any suggestions where I might get a couple of spares? There are no distinguishing marks on the key or window handles.
many thanks
Richard
