Thanks for posting Graydon,
I had been meaning to inspect Our Emergency Exit window but had not done so until Today.
I'm thankful that I did it on a Warm Sunshining Day as One of the Red Handles shaft was badly corroded and was a bear to twist. It broke off the Window frame in the process.
I was under the misconception that this Window would drop off if the Handles were turned, so naturally I never tried to open it until Today after watching the Video.
Not only did the Handle Come off but the Window required a whole lot of pressure to actually swing open.
Naturally I cleaned and Lubricated the Window Frame as well as reriveting the Locking device to the Frame after treating it to a proper Rust Treatment.
I will now be checking the Exit window on a much more frequent schedule.
