Note

Difficulty: Easy

Duration: Less than 10 minutes

Diagnostic

The Velux does not close properly: If your Velux does not close or remains stuck when trying to close it, it could be due to a damaged lock strike plate. A damaged strike plate can prevent the locking mechanism from engaging properly, preventing the Velux from fully closing.
Unusual noises during closing: If you hear unusual noises, such as squeaking or rubbing, when closing your Velux, it could also indicate that the lock strike plate is worn out or misaligned. A misaligned or worn strike plate can cause excessive friction of the parts during closing, leading to these noises.
