New locks, latches, tilt hardware and handles so windows close tight, lock securely and look fresh.
Window locks and hardware wear out, get painted over, break or simply go missing. A window that does not lock pulls the sash away from the weatherstripping, lets in air and is easy to push open from outside. Replacing the lock and the related hardware is one of the quickest, most helpful repairs we do. Homeowners in Nashville call us for rental properties, older homes and windows with broken or stripped hardware.
We identify the window brand and the hardware type, whether it is a sash lock, a keeper, a tilt latch, a limit stop or a handle. We choose matching parts or the closest compatible replacements and install them, adjusting the fit so the lock pulls the sash firmly closed. We also discuss upgrades such as limit stops for children and locks with a more solid feel. After installation we test every window we worked on. We also check how the sash sits when it is locked. If it is crooked, rubs the frame or leaves a gap on one side, new hardware alone will not fix it, and we adjust the balances or the sash so the lock can do its job properly and the window closes square.
Locks and latches vary by brand and era, and the screw holes and spacing must match, so we identify the hardware before ordering.
A good lock pulls the sash against the weatherstripping, which reduces drafts and rattling.
Limit stops can reduce the opening for children, and sturdier locks add security on ground-floor windows.
Hardware comes in white, brass, bronze and other finishes, so we match what you have or update the look.
