Window latch How to make

As a compliment to the previous barrel bolt video, these window latches and stays are inspired by the simple window latches found in traditional Scandinavian buildings.

Two latches per hinged sash that click in place to hold the window tightly shut.

Made from 4mm steel rod, bent with a mini metal bender, back plates made with some more rod and flat bar, welded together.

A wire nail acts as a retainer on the window frame.

The finger pull snaps into place onto the retainer and the sprung nature of the design holds firm.

The window stay similar in design with steel 4mm rod and flat plate retainer.

All finished with clear coat to help stop rusting.

These window latches are super simple, effective and easy to make.

Many thanks to Topher Mohr + Alex Elena for their funky tune 'Say yeah' available for free use from YouTube creative suit.
