Jerry Simon Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 A new one for me; 1950 era window latch. Allows for latching while sash is partially raised. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Pretty nifty! Ironically, I first saw ne of these a million years ago in Oak Park, Il. Then again in Austin, Il I have never seen one in Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 It's cool looking, but what's the point? A properly balanced sash should stay wherever you put it anyway. As far as security goes, once you lift up the sash more than an inch or so, anyone can just stick a finger in there and unlatch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Katen Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Who was it on this forum that posted a picture of his mother, as a toddler, sitting on a 2nd floor windowsill with her feet dangling from the sill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Isn't that the famous "Dubrovnik" latch designed by Ygeny Dubrovnik (after he left the Comintern Window Plant in Ubetyuras?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 It might have been the latch that allowed him to escape I mean, leave, the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 (edited) When it's latched in an open position, what's keeping someone from sticking their hand inside and unlatching it? Edited September 20 by Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamifids Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 I realized that the latch is located on the inside and you can't reach it by hand from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sure, but what about when the latch is engaged with the window in a slightly open position? This latch can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
