Forged Brass Sash Lock in Solid Brass, CTC 2", Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, 1 Pack

These are very high quality parts. They are very heavy duty, really heavy in the hand, nothing apparently cheap about them. I installed four today on my 70 year old windows, and they work like a charm. The internal sprint that locates the rotary part is tight and powerful. The castings are very solid. The supplied screws are very good quality. The finish is very nice, and the style is in keeping with hardware from 50-75 years ago. All in all, very nice!

This lock-set is on the pricey side for what it is but it’s all in the fabrication. Most modern lock-sets are dye cast cheap metal that’s brass plated. This lock-set is forged from solid brass and at least double the weight of the cheaper sets. I live in an 1898 home and didn’t want to put something that was flimsy and wouldn’t stand the test of time. I also very lovingly restored the entire window jam and sashes of the original double-hung windows. After all of that putting a worthy lock-set on was really important to me

I've ordered other sash locks. They work. I have 4 big windows that look directly out onto my backyard. My beautiful backyard with waterfalls and koi pond. Everyone gravitates to the window where they can look out onto the backyard view, including me. I can't have cheap, sharp corners on the window sash locks. These sash locks have smooth, rounded edges. They are quality. They are the real deal for a quality sash locks. I won't buy any other sash locks and will purchase more of these to replace the old crusty sash locks on the rest of my windows. It's a small price to pay for something that looks good and works well.

This is well made but if you use it on old windows, the slope of the latch is almost 180 degrees. That is great for new perfect windows, but on old ones it would be better to have a greater slope, so it has more leeway to close down. So if your two windows are perfect where they cross it is perfect, but if with old windows or if you added a foam strip and where they cross now there is an 1/8 inch difference, these latches do not have enough slope to get your windows tight, or else you now have too shim them. This will make sense to you once you have my issue. If the sloping latch was steeper, it would compensate if your windows were not exactly perfect, and windows would be tight. Hope that helps.

Elegant upgrade for weathered and worn sash locks

Incredible quality. I was completely surprised how nicely constructed this item is.

This is beautiful quality! I typically order from House of Antique Hardware, etc for higher end window hardware, but this is every bit as good of quality. Solid brass makes all the difference in look/feel versus zinc alloys. Edit. Price keeps ticking up. Unfortunately no longer a value.

Great for older windows. Easy to install and no more drafts!

There are a lot of sash locks available on amazon, with various poor reviews. I live in a heritage house, and wanted something appropriate. These sash locks really did the job, they look great, and are really solid. I replaced all of my sash locks with these.

The item is well made and meets it's intended use
