A: Ensure you’re using the correct tool and turning the fitting in the right direction. If the issue persists, check for damaged seals or consult a professional.
Q: Will this trick work for sliding or fixed-pane windows?
A: No, this technique is specific to certain tilt-and-turn windows. For sliding or fixed-pane windows, use draft stoppers, weatherstripping, or thermal insulation film.
