To remove a window lock lever, turn the screwdriver one quarter turn to the right while pulling the lock lever out at the same time. This process works for some wood casement and awning windows.
Steps to Remove a Window Lock Lever:
- Locate the Lock Cam: Identify the lock cam mechanism on your window.
- Insert Screwdriver: Insert a screwdriver into the appropriate slot on or near the lock cam.
- Turn and Pull: Turn the screwdriver one quarter turn to the right while simultaneously pulling the lock lever outward. You might need to apply gentle but firm pressure.
- Removal: The lock lever should now be free and removable.
Keep in mind that specific window lock mechanisms can vary, so if this method doesn't work, consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional locksmith.
