Windows which can open use rollers or guides to facilitate this action. These are built in to the structure of the window frame and partly support the sash or opening picture door and can be very difficult to work with. Indeed, under certain conditions, what seems like a fairly simple and straightforward job can become quite hazardous.
The replacement or installation of new rollers is a job best left to professionals. Although it is possible to handle such a project oneself, there can be some degree of hazard involved. For a start, the sash (which is that part of the window that actually moves) is not intended to be lifted out of the frame in everyday usage. There are blocks at the very top of the guides which prevent the sash from being lifted to the point where the sash can be swung out and freed from the frame. Now, these can be removed, of course. But then there’s the risk involved in actually getting the sash out of the frame. It takes but one careless handhold for the thing to drop out of your hands. And in older homes, the header at the top of the frame might have sagged or warped from age. In this event, it’s no longer a DIY project because now the risks are far greater for damage to the frame or personal injury.
