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!
