Ian28 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Way off topic here but does anybody recognise this part found on my patio after over enthusiastic window cleaning (frames cobwebs sills etc) when I popped outside to admire my handiwork found this on the ground, assume it is from windows on first floor? Tried an image search online but couldn't find anything.Can't see anything missing from anything I cleaned Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beagler Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Is it from your windows/Door or something the window cleaner dropped from his pocket or from his tools. Might ask him if he recognizes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian28 Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Thanks for your replies Its made from hard but flexible rubber/plastic and the "shaft" end is square profile and has a couple of small indentations along one side like it was wedged in something.Definitely came from cleaning as it was me that did the work, no longer trust window cleaners who scratch glass with their long brushes and magic water.

Tom Scanlan Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 It looks like the lever that operates the locking mechanism on a sliding patio door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamC Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Did you use a fold up step by any chance? If so check the feet! That looks exactly the same as the ones I find lying around my garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian28 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Genius Sam !It is the non-slip insert from the leg of a plastic folding kitchen step I used to reach the top of the back door frame. Which I had long since put away when I found the mystery part, nothing to do with UPVC You know how annoying these things are when you can't place them, now superglued in situ.

SamC Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I know exactly how annoying it is as I spent hours a few months ago trying to identify it! Glad the very niche trivia could be shared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
