I gotta tell you man. I thought I needed a new window because mine would not close. This video walked me through the problem exactly and now the window slides so much better. I can’t thank you enough.
I just found your channel, and I am very impressed with your technical skills. I was terrified that my window would not close all the way and bats would come in tonight. I followed your instructions and all is well. Thank you!!!
Thank You so much!! Two windows no longer need propped open & one closes and locks again!!! 🥰 Your video had the best instructions with the included safety issue. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much! I was having issues with my windows after tilting them out to clean. I didn't even know they could come all the way out, so never even thought that there could be an issue with the positioning of the window pane (the sash). Thank you, thank you!
This looked like too much work, so I just brought the window all the way up then slammed it down as hard as i could. It’s closed now! Thanks for the help!
Thank you ... thank you ... thank you .... I just fixed and closed my kitchen window.... and it took less than 5 minutes. Thank you again. Now, if only I could get someone to fix my enclosed porch handle windows... but your video and simple explanation made my day!
Thanks man, I really appreciate videos like this from a professional such as yourself. It's great marketing and in general just serving a public need with an informational, straight to the point video.
AWESOME video about the simple fix for windows. I was about to call for service, but your video was great and i fixed it all by myself! I'm so proud ;) Thank you!
OMG I have this issue too! The top window has fallen down 6 inches and is stuck. I can’t push it up. I can pull it down but I’m afraid to pull it down any farther if it’s just not going to go back up.
Thank You for this video this defenitly issue we r having, my question is our is both to bottem is concept the same? 2) what are you turning as not seing anything to turn as there no screws? Thank You
We have a window where neither the left or right shoe has a screw to adjust. Both shoes are positioned at the bottom of each track but will not slide up with the window, when it is raised. This also is not allowing us to close the window completely as there is a small gap at the bottom when we try. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I'm not sure what you mean but if you have a block and tackle balance system with long springs and it has come loose then there may be a more serious problem.
Do we have to buy a new pin or is it just the existing pin is out of alignment. I have over 6 windows that would never stay up, but closes fine. The house was built in 2004.
Maybe you can help me. I have an old double hung window and the top window fell out while I was cleaning it. The pivot bar was rotted and broke, so I replaced it. When I put the window back in, it will not close all the way, so the lock doesn't line up. Any suggestions? Thanks!
What happens when the spring shoots up? How do you get it back in place. I was washing my windows and I had the window resting on my knee now I know to keep it up a couple inches when I clean them, but maybe it still wasn’t enough and the spring shot up and disappeared if anyone knows how I can get the spring backlet me know. It’s a long spring because I was kind of lubricate the sides of the spring as well.
You should explain how to completely remove the sash instead of just saying to do it. Many people have never done that, actually most dont even know it’s possible !
You may have a different type of shoe. Sometimes they need to be replaced if it's the older type. That is a more difficult repair but can be done by getting new parts and a jamb spreader. This is a company who will help you identify parts needed and stock most of them. blainewindow.com/
I really hate this type of window............it piss me off...........I hope that the creator don't create this type off window again..........it keep falling down everything we move it up......... I love the hing or twist window to open better..........the old style once

Thank you, thank you!
Very great video...especially the warning about holding the screwdriver with two hands and being very careful when turning it.
This looked like too much work, so I just brought the window all the way up then slammed it down as hard as i could. It’s closed now!
Thanks for the help!
Thank you so much. I was able to "fix" my oversized window (all by myself) by following your video. Have a great day!
Thank you!. I just had my windows cleaned and one of them wouldn't close and I watched your video and I fixed it myself!
Thank you ... thank you ... thank you .... I just fixed and closed my kitchen window.... and it took less than 5 minutes. Thank you again.

Thanks Bud! This solved my "wife's problem," and I look like a super hero!
what did he do?
Thank you so much! You saved me tons of time and window was fixed in two minutes. Thank you again!
Thank you I am going to try this and hope it works. Appreciate your thorough explanation.
What about when it is the upper window that won't close and just wants to stay in the down position?
Yes...its my top part that wont go up and close all the way too..
Did you get any answers?
@@leneya8 I hardly remember this but I think my window needed to be pushed down a little and then raised in order for it to stay.
OMG I have this issue too! The top window has fallen down 6 inches and is stuck. I can’t push it up. I can pull it down but I’m afraid to pull it down any farther if it’s just not going to go back up.
Super helpful, even though my window was possibly one of the older 80s-style ones. Was able to figure out how to fix it based on your explanation!
Thank you this fixed my windows perfectly
Thanks for making this vid. Not the most handy around the house and this was a lifesaver
Thanks , this video really helped. And all the warning signs helped too!!

Thank you for directions I could form
Thanks so much for this video

Do you do the repair service?
What about the springs how do you get them up the metal long part
Hi
I'm not sure what you mean but if you have a block and tackle balance system with long springs and it has come loose then there may be a more serious problem.
I am sorry to just getting back to you I figured it out. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to answer me. Have a Awesome New Year💖
It work for me, thanks.

Thank you. I have a similar set up. I tried this, but my window is still loose.
You may have a broken shoe. They can be replaced.

In my case even springs both ends are outside the sash. any idea?
Please let them know that if you sach pivot is slightly bent it won't engage the shoe
What if my window won’t lift up to open at all? What do I do then?
G o o d. Job. Thanks.
Can I replace the balance ? Can I replace the shoe ???

Right run dislodged and it all the way up, window stuck open. Can't move or slide or window. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Does anyone have a tip for fixing a rattling window when the wind is blowing. New home less than 2 years old. Thanks in advance!
I am having a similar problem, but the cord moved up in one of the sides… the top window doesn’t stay up.
Should be the same process
I can't open my bottom tilt in window. How can I fix it?
if its an older window will this still work? like i dont see those parts on my window so uhm
Unfortunately if it doesnt have those types of shoes (the white blocks) then it doesnt apply.
@@Taylorraeconstruction 💀uhm welp oki thanks..
Good video but I would have like to know how to pop open the window
Thank u !
What if the top sash won’t stay up?
Same thing. Most likely one or both of the shoes are stuck down somewhere in the track.
my top one wont close either@@Taylorraeconstruction
I was searching for windows 10 not real windows, UA-cam ALGORITHMS
Great....I know how to fix it now...but I am too scared to do it. 😆
Are you kidding me? I cant close a window on my website, and google gives me this :D
You should explain how to completely remove the sash instead of just saying to do it. Many people have never done that, actually most dont even know it’s possible !
Problem with my window is my shoe won't release it looks a little bit different.
What if I have the window closed and locked and one side is opening just a bit?
Sorry not sure I understand
alot of times the balance springs are shot
I have never seen Block and tackle springs go bad. But yes spiral balances and other types often fail.
coil spring balances made mainly by swisco are famous for going out. you may run across them. i have several times
Does anyone know how to replace the child safety lock on windows? It’s stuck in the “lock” position and won’t set back in place
I can’t open the window at all what is the fix for that? I hope someone can answer this.
Trying this tomorrow mine won't close all the way
that hammer looks like mine
Our shoes do not have screws. HELP!

My windows are hard to move in either direction, up or down. Been pissing me off for years.
Our issue is with the upper window that will not shut
This is something I cant do myself. Not a big window. Who would I call to get help.
My sash window falls down being open slightly but stays open if I open it more than some height. What can be a problem in this case? Thanks
That could just be that the balances are worn out. Especially on an older window.
Could have lost an eye!!
Windows update also works
who would I call to do this fix, since I cant??
Anyone handy should have no problem unless something else is wrong.
I can't even get the window removed to get to the sash.
How did u fix it

What if the lower sash pops up 2 inches after it is lowered?
