FORCING OR OPENING
Commercial Manually operated Chain operated Electrically powered
To force entry: Cut or force the locks Attack the locks Cut through the gate by cutting a large inverted V-
shaped cut in gate with power saw which allows slats to be pulled toward center and removed
FORCING OR OPENING
Windows Double hung/checkrail
windows Insert blade of axe or prying
tool under center of bottom sash
Pry upward forcing screws out of lock
Open window
(1) Typical replacement-style energy-efficient window (EEW): frame assembly with two moveable sashes. This window has double-pane, polycarbonate glazing, and tilt-in sashes. (Photos 1-6 by Linda Andersen.)
(7) After removing the screen, pry up the bottom sash; the screws will strip from the sash. (Photos 7-11 by author.)
(8) No. 6 screws hold the locking mechanism in place.
(9) A sharp, downward impact will cause the ventilation latches to fail.
(10) Pulling down both sashes will give you access to the slides that will release the top of the sash from the frame and enable you to tilt them into the structure.
11) The window is almost fully opened.
FORCING OR OPENING
Hinged/casement windows Break lowest pane of glass and
clean out Force or cut screen Reach in and upward to unlock Operate crank or levers at
