How to Open a Window: step-by-step guide
Windows open in different ways. Check the lock before you push.
Look at the window to see whether it slides up, sideways, or cranks out.
Find the lock or latch and turn it to the unlocked position.
Place both hands on the handles or the bottom edge of the sash.
Push or slide steadily instead of jerking.
Open it as far as you want, and check that any screen stays in place.
Close and relock the window before you leave or go to sleep.
