MASTERMIND FROM ALFRED WARREN

A suggestion. Side slider windows have a partial open latch which is a small vertical bar in the window
assembly. On occasion the thumb screw is lost or broken off. A solution is to drill out broken screw and threads
and retap with a 8/32 nc tap and install a new galvinized or brass thumb screw.Our attempts to buy these from
glass repair places have been futile, but this is a cheap and easy alternative to buying an expensive window
unit.
