Solid Brass Transom Window Latch

Solid metal construction. The spring is on the flimsy side and there is no obvious way to replace it. Out of three, one strike plate was very poorly made the other two were marginal; warped, uneven edges, off-center holes, counter sunk holes for screws are unevenly counter sunk. Be aware that you may have to spend extra time either fixing the plates or waiting for replacements and I wouldn't use this for a daily-use application.

The former owner of our home installed a wonderful transom that was held close by weight only, no latch. The transom would loudly slam open with any heavy wind, occurring multiple times a year. We would stick a punchpin in the wood trim to hold it shut. I had been looking for a transom latch at our local big box stores and small local hardware stores with no luck, for many many years. I finally did an online search and House of Antique Hardware appeared - our savior!! Our 100-year old home now has the correct latch - let the wind blow!

These were fitted to transoms that originally did not have latches so it took me two tries to get them install correctly. Other than that one issue they work well look great and people notice them.

Works great

These were used in a 1902 Victorian rehab. The transom hardware was all missing.

The products we used for an old church that we were restoring are the exact same as the old ones that got produced about 50 years ago. part were reproduced with exact authenticie. My owner of property is very happy.

I used these as eye catching ""hold downs"" for deck hatches on my 1920/s styled runabout. The pieces look the part, and folks stop me to ask what they are. I used four to each deck hatch, and there is nothing but praise for them. I like the hinges for solid door hardware, and other classic parts I can adapt. I like the solid feel, good working designs, and prices that are lower than lesser quality ""marine"" hardware.

the product was exactly what we were looking for

I've returned to House of Antique Hardware after trying other companies. The selection and products are superior to the others. My window latch is fantastic and works like a charm!
