The window catches in my apartment (which I think are quite typical in HK), are not working properly. You know the type I mean – a bit like a lever mechanism. However, they will not stay shut properly, and if some force were exerted on the inside of the window they will pop open. Yesterday I found one that seemed to have popped open of its own accord. Whilst the windows have grilles so are not dangerous to people, I am worried about my cat!
Does anyone know if these are easily fixed by a handyman, or will I need to get the landlord to get a window specialist to come out to them? I’m reluctant to involve the landlord if I can, as it usually means additional time off work for me whilst he sends someone out to look at it, before then deciding it needs to be fixed…
