Can I lock this window from the outside?
No, this lock is designed for internal locking only. It is secured from the inside using the provided key.
How do I know if my window is compatible?

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to engage or disengage.
Ensure the window is fully closed and aligned. Check for any debris obstructing the lock mechanism or staple. Verify the staple is correctly positioned relative to the lock.
Screws will not tighten securely.
Ensure you are using screws appropriate for PVCu and the fixing surface. If fixing into a hollow section, consider using anchors or longer screws that reach a solid part of the frame.
