Sash Stay: Piece of metal hardware which attaches to the window sash and allows the window to be held open in various positions.
How does a sash lock work?
The Sash lock has a deadbolt that locks the door by turning the key but it also has a built in latch so that the door will stay closed in the frame unlocked. For the uninitiated the latch is the sprung triangular piece of metal above the deadbolt that is operated by the door handle or knobs.
How do you open a sash lock?
- Put your hand at the location of the sash in the middle of the window.
- Use your palms to press the sash upward to separate the window bottom from the windowsill. Move the sash upward so you can put your hand and free the sash between the two windows.
