Vinatage window latches

[bear]

Hi Guys,

Does any person have a better idea for window latches then this crazy idea I have come up with out of desperation???

Note the widows are push out and the latches need to work at right angles.

Also, the latches need to be placed into the corners as I have no room along the base of the windows.

Hi Bear,

These are the catches on the windows of our van (please excuse the less than pristine condition - its 60 years old and unrestored):



Something like this might be suitable for your van. I presume that part of your windows sit inside the window frames when they are closed? If so I don't think there would be a problem with fitting a bolt horizontally in each corner.

Not exactly a dead lock but does the job.

G'day Bear,

In the Technical forum (which is where we are now) if you go to the top of the page you we see a board called "Vintage Restoration Parts suppliers/ information".
Scroll down to "Window Hardware" and click on the links there...... you may find some window catches to suit.

Cobber.
