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).

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

excellent
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.

Maintenance of a 100+ year old New England victorian house
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.
