826-33 Sash Window Screw Locks - Brass (6 Pieces)

I was extremely disappointed in these window locks. The manufacturer’s package came partially open. It looked nice online but all of the brass pieces arrived totally discolored and the brass has marks all over it. This item does not look new and looks as though it was sitting in a warehouse somewhere for a long time. I paid more than the item’s cost to ship it from Amazon’s global store and I cannot use these locks because they look awful.

Overall, quite an annoying product. The packaging said to use a 10mm drill bit. I found that to be too small for the rear pane piece (I had to use a 10.5mm bit to get it to stick) but too large for the front pane, because the brass cylinder spins and moves around too easily while rotating the bolt with the key. The bolt obviously also comes free completely once you unscrew it, which means it's lose and knocking around (and easy to lose) if you open the window. Very inconvenient only having one key, too, especially if you use the 6 piece set across multiple rooms. That said, it seems to be well made and serves its purpose of securing the window once in place. It's just not a very elegant solution.

Really good set of sash window locks. My windows only had the original push bolts but I decided that they were not very secure so looked at unobtrusive but much more secure replacements. These really excelled.Fitting was a doddle and I used the original holes in the sash frames so very little alteration. A couple of the fixing holes needed drilling out a little more but that was it.

Easy to install - soLong as you have sash windows bothnof which open - as it says in description ! Don't even think about it if only One of your windows opensNeat and unobtrusive / would have been 5 stars had they not supplied Just one key meaning you have to buy more if You use six locks In More than one room - Which of Course You would unless You have a Mansion with three windows in the same Room!

These locks do exactly what I expected them to. The only issue I have is that with the older sash windows in my home, there is always a bit of play between the two sashes, so sometimes the locks need a bit of jiggling to get them aligned- but this isn't a major concern.

Easy to fix. Needed these after renovating rear sash window above flat roof. Some left over if needed for further sashes.
