Hi,
I have a window that won’t lock fully.
It opens sideways like a door.
A neighbor tried to push it closed/pulled it open when the window was not fully closed, with the handle engaged.
Since then the handle wont fully lock into place, and the two small tabs on the side which the handle moves out to engage the lock no longer retract fully.
Is it possible to buy a replacement mechanism?
Would it be straightforward to remove and replace that part myself

Thanks in advance.

A picture of the handle/mechanism might help explain your problem
