Bathroom window no longer locks shut.
The handle goes through the full movement it should and the locking bar moves a little bit but not enough to engage the slots on the frame. Dunno. My guess is that a certain teenager has simply used excessive force when trying to close the handle and broken something.
I see I can easily go and buy a new locking mechanism and handle online and the bits look the same on the website. Is it going to be easy?

Yes, undo a couple of screws remove old handle, fit new handle re fit screws, job done

Easy, if new handle has shaft longer than old one, will need a hacksaw, but other than that, just unscrew, screw.
