Yesterday at 12:59 PM #1 C Cpark Student Apr 3, 2025 2 Hello, I have just moved into an old YMCA, and they have these windows with I assume a pulley system. I have no clue on where to start to open them. Any ideas?

Yesterday at 1:46 PM #2 dvd Mechanical Nov 12, 2001 2,007 Depending on how high the latch is, you might want to investigate these. They were commonplace at one time - Prime-Line 3/4 in. x 82 in. Transom Window Pole and Hook H 3753 - The Home Depot Prime-Line Aluminum Pole Transom Window Pole and Hook is ideal for reaching and actuating ring latches on upper story windows. www.homedepot.com edit - I just noticed the price. You can figure out much cheaper alternatives. Upvote 0 Downvote
