3 Household Items to Unlock a Window Handle
How to Unlock a Stuck Window Handle | Easy DIY Hack Using Common Household Items
Struggling with a stuck or locked window handle? In this YouTube Shorts video, we’ll show you how to unlock it quickly and easily using three simple household items: a packing strap, a credit card, and a sharp cutting knife. You don’t need any special tools—just follow these DIY tips to get your window open fast!
Step 1: Use a Packing Strap
First, grab a plastic packing strap. Slide it between the handle lever and the base of the window. This technique gives you extra grip and leverage to move the handle without damaging it. It’s a quick and easy way to apply the necessary force without causing harm to your window.
Step 2: Try a Credit Card
Next, use a credit card (or any thin, flexible card) to manipulate the latch. Slide it into the gap between the window frame and handle, pushing it in the same way you would unlock a door. This trick helps you easily access and release the latch mechanism.
Step 3: Carefully Use a Sharp Cutting Knife
Lastly, if the first two methods don’t work, try using a sharp cutting knife. Carefully slide the knife into the latch area to create space or leverage. Be cautious and precise with this method to avoid damaging your window or hurting yourself.
These three quick, easy, and effective methods will help you unlock your window without the need for expensive tools or professional help!
