Re: contact window

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your method looks like it removes the weather strip in the area the mag is
in and removes the area of the flange...you don't think that's gonna void
the warranty too?

Besides I was talking about putting a 3/8" super magnet in that space
vertically (or at least trying to) not flat.

| The dimension there is 5/16".  Subtract 1/4" for your magnet anf that
leaves 1/32" on either side of the hole.  Without a jig he's

decide that his hole violates the warranty.

|
| No, you can't.  Look at the drawing.  The magnet will stick out the other
side of the wood right where the weather strip protrudes.
| When he shuts the window it may splinter the bottom of the sash.  Even if
it doesn't, it will interfere with the weather strip in
| the groove of the rail.
|
| Note: The horizontal pieces at the top and bottom of the sash are called
"rails".

|
| Unless it keeps the window from closing because the weather strip on the
sill hits it.
