Repairing a Harvey window that won't lock 

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 i had no idea the windows in my house were like that now all of them lock easily. Thank God for youtube!

Thank you ! I fixed my window after watching the video within a minute.very helpful.

Thank you very much sir. You are awesome! The balance system from my window was disconnected, and with your guidance, it's working again!

Thank you so much! Helped me fix my window in less than 2 minutes.

Amazing advice. The first tip of checking if the upper window was shut all the way fixed it!

I keep coming back to this video each year when I take my portable air conditioner out of my windows due to hurricane power outages. It seems to always misalign my windows and I forget what it is I am supposed to do. Thanks. You are like my personal handy man!!

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!

6 years ago and you just helped me today! Thank you!

I can't thank you enough 😭😭seriously..safety is a huge issue and now, I don't have to worry! It wouldn't lock, its 11pm and I'm like...what do I do?! Thank you so so so much!

Thank you for this video I bought a home last year with pretty newer windows in it I've been having issues locking them and I tried what you mentioned about pushing the top sash up all my windows were like this now they all lock properly thanks again you probably saved me a decent amount of money.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Simply pushing the top up fixed the problem of 2 windows !! You saved me a good amount of money! Thanks!

Thank you for easing my anxiety of being kidnapped and killed in my sleep

You’re a life saver, it’s been a pretty cold winter, if you know what I’m saying. Never thought to check the top of the window.

Thank You !! Simply pushing the top up fixed the problem !!

Thank you so much I have really tiny window thank god I found this amazing video 😊

Your window lock troubleshooting video was spot-on & helped me in about 2 minutes! Thank U!!

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!

Thank you! Pushing the top up was a lifesaver!

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!

One Word - THANKS!!!! Took less than 30 seconds - Problem solved - peace of mind - GOD BLESS

Thank you!! I always lock mine but I think the top part dropped and your video helped!!! Many blessings

This worked like a champ. Thanks. I was so frustrated when this exact thing happened to me.

Thank you I was smoking meth in my baby sisters room and I thought I broke the window your a lifesaver

Thank you i fixed my window snd now it locks I did not have to call the maintenance men of the apartment complex and I am so happy thank you all so much.

Thank you, i got cussed out this morning for this and decided to stay home to fix it 😂😂😂 u save me some bucks

Thank you for your video, very clear and very instructive, you helped me to lack the window!!

Thank you. I was about to call service till I saw your video. Great healp.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I’m up at 5:47 am trying to figure out how to get it closed and you helped.

Great video, thanks for showing how to unhinge the window, this was a problem in 3/9 of my windows and I had no idea how to fix em... first time homeowner things.

Thank you sir. Your video helped me fix my window.

Thanks a lot for the video! My wife notified me that one of our windows wouldn't lock and when I took a look, everything looked good. New home owner so I never knew about the top portion of the window sagging down a bit and needing to be pushed up. Worked like a charm!

Thank you so much, I was having a panic attack, the top was slid down a tad bit all locked up now!!!!😁

Thank you - you helped me- resolution. Push up the upper window.

thank you so so much!! i slammed my fingers in the window way too many times. many thanks!!

Thank you! Problem resolved. My window’s upper sash was opened.

You are a miracle worker!

Thanks for uploading. This helped me so much.

Thanks, my daughter's window wouldn't close. Was the upper sash. Thanks for your help!

Thank you this worked so much just pushing it up then down

I rotated the pivot block and let it raise, then made it point straight up again as you instructed. But when I closed the window, the pivot bar did not engage with the pivot block. Any tips on what to do now?

Thank you, it was very helpful and did help to find and fix the issue with my window.

I want to thank you so much!!! This really helped me 🙂♥️

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

Thanks! What a life saver. Here I was thinking that I needed new windows and all I had to do was push up on the top and down on the bottom to lock them.

Great video. The problem I'm having is the upper sash won't stay all the way up. And one side is down almost half an inch. How would i fix this?

Thanks so much! Saved my day!

Thank you!! My window lets in sooo much street noise. I think (and hope) it’s because it’s not closed completely!

Thank you so much your suggestions worked

Thank you so much~ My case was the top part was still open and so thats why the pivot pin wasnt locking! life safer

Thankyou !! Turns out it was a bit open from the top just pushing it up helped , I was bout to call maintenance.

So super helpful!! Thank you!

Thanks worked great...gonna keep my day job though

Thanks so much for the useful tips!

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Only took 12 seconds!!!!

I'm gonna try this tomorrow! We moving into a new house and I noticed the windows don't luck into the proper slots

Fixed my problem, thank you 🙏

when I close my top the bottom opens !? it’s insane like the lock part doesn’t work and it won’t fully close bc one side just is open at all times

You are 200iq! Thank you

Thank you very helpful 😍😍

Great advice. I was having the same issue with my windows and i used your methods and it was corrected

Thanks, very informative.

Thank you so much! May God bless!

problem fixed! Thank you so much!!!

This actually worked 💛 thanks

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!

Thankyou so much my room is no longer freezing

How to fix the latch that closes the window if it comes out

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.

Thank you sir!

Thank you

This helped OMG!! Thank you😊

Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 you are a #LifeSaver

Thank you!! Just had to do this.

I have a friend who has just up & down vinyl windows no tilting Many of them cannot lock. I've had a friend push up the top sash I pushed on the bottom one. The locking device will not align with each other. No debri in window tracks! HELP!!!

Thank you

Saved my day

My windows do not close completely and because of this, it blows from the window. Please help me fix the window

Freaking amazing! Thank you so much

Great video but it seems someone tried forcing it down and bent that pivot bar on mine and won't line up

Thank you !!!!

This didn’t work because the pivot block is attracted to the sash. But no matter how hard I try to seat the top and bottom of the window it will not lock.

Thank you

Omg thx❤
