    Thank you sir!!! I have been sleeping daily with the window unlatched, just never told anyone about it...JUST to find out the window opens from the top. I just went and pushed the top up and viola....the latch fits perfectly. You're the BEST!!!

    omg, you are a life savior! I've been stressed about this at the dorm for so long and since I live on the first floor, I was so afraid that people might break in. It's a very easy fix and thanks so much for uploading this video!

    Thank you for trouble shooting this. I was cleaning windows for Christmas candles and thought I would have to call the vendor on one that wouldn't lock. It had slipped from the top as you demonstrated. Many thanks and happy holidays!

    Thank you! You saved me from having to call the installer about my 3-month-old double-hung window that used to seat/seal very well but I opened it a few days ago to vacuum the track and thought I closed and locked it, but I kept hearing traffic noise that sounded a little louder. Today, I finally realized that one of the windows was not seated in the bottom track well enough to actually lock (though I had gone through the motions of locking it and thought it was locked, LOL). Yep, just had to push the upper portion of the window a tiny bit and then the lower portion seated itself and locked quite nicely. Now, my installer would not have minded stopping by to look it over and help me, but I hate to be helpless AND an idiot!

    Doug YOU ARE SO AWESOME! We were trying to head out of town but couldn’t lock two windows. After struggling for a couple hours, finally did a search and got your video recommendation! Your first suggestion, pushing up the upper sash, was EXACTLY what was wrong! Ten minutes later both windows locked and we were on our way!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Everything looks fine; I just had to stand on a stool and push down with all my strength to get the catch to match so the windows wood lock. I will remember to keep them that way! I think the weather stripping was fully expanded and probably cold and hard to compress. Good to know for next year!

    My problem is the pivot block is still attached but the window won’t close enough to lock, which causes the top sash to begin to fall. Since there’s no screen, it allows lots of bugs to get into my room. I’ve already checked and there’s nothing blocking the window from closing in the window housing or on the sashes themselves. It’s as if it’s simply the wrong size.
