Can a window go up on it's own?I have old fashioned "sash" type wood framed windows. The kind seen in the '50s?

Question

Twice in the past month I have come home to find the window raised up about 1/4-1/2 inch. I live alone, in a 2 story apt. I'm sure it's not being done from the outside because the screen is undisturbed. Is this possible??

Answer 1

Yes. I'd suggest locking them.

Answer 2

yes. Sash windows go up by themselves.

You have to install a lock.

Answer 3

Yes, they have counterweights, but this is VERY unlikely...
