Traditional wooden window sash locks srshardware.blog.com/ One of the most important and visible pieces of hardware you will install on your wooden sash windows are sash locks. Sash locks serve two purposes. First, they provide security, keeping the sash windows closed, foiling intruders. Secondly (and perhaps more importantly on a day to day basis), the locks draw the upper and lower sash together, reducing gaps and drafts where the upper and lower sash meet.If you are selecting sash locks, there are essentially two elements to consider, quality materials and correct engineering.A traditional lock consists of the base/lever assemblyand the strike. The base/lever, installed on the lower sash, should besturdy and comfortable for operational ease. Fine sash window locks, like the SRS Hardware SL 01 feature a forged brass base and a stainless steel internal mechanism that clicks into a positive stop in the open and locked positions. This keeps the lever firmly engaged at all times. Aside from high quality materials, the most critical aspect of sash locks is extremely precise engineering of the interplay between the lever and the strike. If improperly designed, a lock, no matter how expensive or attractive it looks will not do its intended job, that being to pull the two sash tightly closed. The vast majority of commodity sash locks on the market fail on this critical point.The SRS Hardware SL 01 lock is a superb high quality sash lock based upon a traditional Fitch Pattern lock with updated design elements.
