If you imagine the window laying flat on a table, the trim goes in straight down from the top. They will not fit if you try to lay the pieces on the glass and then slide them over to the edge. Still, it's a tight and fussy fit.
So that is the issue, the inside pieces go down onto the glass then have to be tapped outward to install into the groove. That is why I had to trim that damn last piece so the outside width would pass by the inner gap.
The solution is out there some where, it came from the factory installed. Had a hell of a time just getting the pieces out, knew installation was not going to go well!
[b]can i convert this window into an opening vented window without messing up Stucco siding on the outside?? Just want it to be a functinal open and closed window as is.. can i just pop seals and add hings for example??? Thanks [/b]
Hello,
is there a standard method to keep these types of doors unlocked during the day. Ie. we need to be able to enter the room from the outside meaning we need to keep the bar and latch retracted during the day. How do we keep the latch retracted? Our current method involves inserting a metal tab between the latch and the strike plate so the latch can’t lock. Our door handle is similar to the photo.
