Upvc window lock

[acl]

I need to get some keys for a upvc window .Normal white handle but the key is going to be a little strange.The lock is small,round black plastic thing with a kind of hex head in the middle,i understand the keys were probably also plastic and would have a hole down them to fit over the hex.After that you just unscrew it. Sorry if i havent explained this too well but can anyone help?

Come on guys!

we used to have windows like this at some point, cant remember when or where, but you unscrewed a small hex thing with a hex key and the window could be opened, it only unscrewed so far though then it locked, so that it did not fall apart. i know any hex key could be bought to replace it as long as it was the right size.

i dont know if this is anything like you have though.

Isn't it easier to change the whole handle assembly too one with a more standard lock fitted in it? they are dirt cheap.

That may have to be the answer but the problem is there must be about 20 of them and the girls a freind whos sold the house so we wanted to do it as cheaply as poss.

andy if you cant find the specified key, you could always get her a small hex screwdriver,that would do the job and would not cost very much.

I noticed a Vito van parked down the road from me today, with a "Lockstock Wholesale" sign in the rear window. Must try and bump into the driver and see if it's the same place.
