About 10 years ago I had new pvcu windows installed but now I have
problem with the slide locking bar operated by the handle and need t replace it. The firm that supplied the windows are no longer and I hav tried to contact Diplomat Extrusions to no avail, email gets sent bac and no one answers the phone so I am thinking that they to are n longer in business. Can some one help me in any way. I live in Sussex

The item is known as an "espagnolette locking mechanism" and is pretty universal. Measure the length of the bar and the distance between the "keeps" on the transom/mullion. If you call or visit a local PVCu frame fabricator there is a good chance that you will be able to get a replacement at very little cost.

Should be plenty of DG repair firms in Yellow Pages. The fittings are usually standard. Not an area I've had much luck with on a d-i-y basis. Time consuming to source the bits and local firms don't seem to be that expensive in my area.
