Enjoy the soft, balmy breezes of a summer's night without worrying about unsecured windows. This surface mounted window lock permits your window to open only so far.

Designed for use with older-style windows, it can be used to hold a window open if sash cords are broken.

Made with solid brass, the spring-activated plunger and lock comes with three strike plates. Choose from five finishes.

Ventilation Lock, WSB75

Dimensions: 1-1/8" x 1-1/4" (base)
