Can't lock window
I have a single hung window that will not lock.
When i try to lock it the sliding lock just misses the grove in the window where it locks. If i tilt out the lower sash like to clean the window & tilt it back up & close it, then it will lock. How can i fix this problem ? -- Dell Inspiron Pentium dual-core 2.2 GHz 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

I have a couple of windows that I sometime have to push up on the upper sash while locking. |
