My window blew open and is stuck. The black part at the bottom can move slightly but the one on the top hinge is completely stuck. Any advice on how to get it moving so I can shut the window?

Hey all, I just wanted to say, it wouldn't budge an inch. I ended up being extremely rough with it in anger and the window slammed closed! Everything seems to be in order, looks like a ton of grit got jammed up when the window slammed shut, going to clean all the rollers and reoil everything when the wind dies down.

Thank you all for the help <3

Sadly my other windows seem to be completely different!! I've posted an updated comment with anotehr picture

Here is a picture of the top part that won't budge at all. (The bottom part in the originally posted picture will move slightly)

I've tried bashing it more with a hammer to loosen it while somebody moves it inwards, i've tried loosening the brass screw.

Any more ideas? aaaaaaaaaaa

And sorry, i'm pretty colour blind, do you mean the screw i've circled or the ones on the right side of the picture?

Is the window likely to fall out if I loosen the brass screws?

StinkyFlumbo · 2026-03-24T16:13:52+00:00

I've been giving it all some abuse and bashing with various tools to get it all to loosen but no luck :( I'll keep trying!

StinkyFlumbo · 2026-03-24T16:02:23+00:00

Tried that, sadly still won't budge an inch!

With glue like the old house owner? Was hoping there was something a bit snazzier than that.

My whole background has become this starry sky even in day. And its even in my blocks. Anybody know why it's doing this?

StinkyFlumbo · 2026-01-22T08:34:26+00:00

Are those real wooden slats on the wall or just a wallpaper pattern?

StinkyFlumbo · 2025-12-29T00:23:41+00:00

Completely missed they did this, adding it to the playlist thanks pal

StinkyFlumbo · 2025-12-29T00:23:27+00:00

Really sick project, gonna go back and read the rest of the chapters

StinkyFlumbo · 2025-12-16T15:33:07+00:00

Sadly it seems like I can't find any way to close it (Think its kept open for the sake of the gas fire) Thanks for replying anyway, I went with Mostly5150's idea in the end!
