Sash Locks : Historic Home Hardware for Authentic Antique Restoration Originals

Sash Locks

These antique window locks are used for old (or new!) wooden double hung windows. They are installed on what is known as the "check rail", which is the bottom rail of the upper sash and the upper rail of the lower sash. The top rail of the lower sash and the bottom rail of the upper sash meet when a double-hung window is closed. I have also seen them used as cabinet latches by some creative folks out there! Since the antique and vintage casement window latches are shown in the antique hardware catalogues for use also as cabinet latches, please look in the Cabinet Latch category for those.
