Hi:

I need a lock for a window. It's a bottom open/toped hinged window
like they usually have in school. I need a lock that will allow me to
leave the window open, at least a little bit, and not have someone be
able to get in.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
M

If this is an all wood window you can drill through
both sash and surrounding frame a hole (or two)
large enough to hold (loosely) a 6-inch nail you
use as a bolt. Best plan might be:
-- one hole to lock the window wholly shut. When
inserted through both sash and frame the big
nail prevents sliding the window open.
-- a second hold that locks similarly when the
window is two inches open.

Thanks Don!!! These windows are metal. Any other possibilities???
