Sash Lifts : Historic Home Hardware for Authentic Antique Restoration Originals

Sash Lifts

A window, or sash, lift is a handle or grip installed on or routed into the bottom rail of the lower sash of a double hung or single hung window. It is less stressful (for both the window and homeowner!) to open a window by this method than by pushing up on the top rail of the lower sash. In addition to their intended uses, the larger recessed lifts can be used as door pulls for sliding doors. I've also seen bin pulls used as window lifts and I've even seen the curved grips turned upside down and used as little hooks. Antique hardware always leaves room for creativity!
