Description

Square and simple in design, this versatile transom latch goes with everything, from Victorian to Mid-Century Modern. The circa 1900 design is made of all brass parts. The latch housing is stamped sheet brass, while the tongue, hook loop and strike plate are solid, cast brass. Choose from 5 popular finishes!

This spring-loaded latch is typically installed at the top of the window sash and operated with a pull chain or pole-mounted transom hook (use transom chains to keep the sash from falling open). The base of the strike is mounted to the inside of the window frame and the catch portion protrudes over the sash, in order to engage the latch.

Dimensions:
Latch Base: 2 1/8" L x 1 1/2" W
Projection: 7/8"
Strike Plate: 1 5/8" L x 11/16" W
Latch Ring: 19/32" inside diameter

Comments:

Excellent hardware to ""complete"" the renovation.... price point makes you say ""why would I strip 10 layer of paint off the existing....""

Matches the gleaming finish we have existing in our laundry area! Also used this product as a window latch and wanted similar finish for laundry chute latch.

Match that transom

Comments:

We had a house with 2 transoms and 7 doors. We cut out, built to match and installed transoms over all interior room/hall doors and replaced hardware on the existing one. The homeowner was thrilled with the look and operability. Thank you again. David Guinn

Nice Finish, Good Looking, Sticks a Bit

Comments:

Nice look and finish. Design of product is great for use with transom windows. Finish is a nice oil rubbed bronze. Only complaint is that of the three I ordered, two work well, but one of them sticks quite a bit when trying to pull the latch down. A little dry lubricant should fix that problem.

Oil Rubbed Bronze Transom Window Latch

Comments:

Our remodel included a transom window above the back door. This latch was the perfect locking solution. Looks great!

Poor operation

Comments:

Looks great. Operates poorly. Sticks frequently and is hard to unlatch. Feels chintzy...and has the sound of a cheap spring inside.

Quality materials, aside from screws

Comments:

The latch and catch are both very well-made; my issue is with the quality of the screws provided. Brass is soft, but one of the screws snapped while I was working at putting the screws into the window frame. Aside from that, fantastic latch.

transom latch not for use with pole

Comments:

I used these latches on some cedar shutters and the body, being made of stamped brass instead of cast brass, twisted apart when using the pole. They might work okay if operating by hand only.

Transom Latch Problem

Comments:

This Transom Latch worked perfect after I lubricated it. The only complaint I have is that I could not buy it with the correct female mating part that I needed for my cabinets. Jerry.
