How To Open Close & Lock Your Double Hung Windows
Opening, closing, and locking your double-hung windows is a simple process if you follow the correct steps. Frank Amory from Window Depot is here with a quick guide to help you out:
Steps to Open Your Window:
- Ensure the window locks are in the unlock position.
- Use the lift rail at the bottom of the window to push it up gently.
- You can use the top sash or the lift rail to open the window smoothly.
Using the Sash Limiters:
- The sash limiters are designed to control how high the window sash can go.
- Engage the sash limiters to prevent the window from opening fully, allowing you to let in a breeze while adding a layer of security.
Steps to Close Your Window:
- To close, use the top sash or the lift rail and push the window down.
- Disengage the sash limiters if you have them engaged.
Locking Your Window:
- Make sure the top sash is all the way up and the bottom sash is all the way down.
- Finally, engage the locks, and your window is secure!
