Sticky window latch

17 years ago

We keep having problems with the latch that locks our windows. They are the type of window that you turn the handle and the window opens outward. Sometimes when you go to close the window, the little latch that actually hooks on to the window to lock it, is stuck in the up (open)position so that it hits the window when you try to close the window. You just have to give the latch a little tap to make it go back down, but to do this you have to remove the screen to get at it. It's a real pain in the butt. Any ideas on how to keep this latch from sticking like this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and I hope my explanation wasn't too confusing.
