Vent and Night Latches for Windows and Patio Doors | Genuine AmesburyTruth Hardware Parts

Vent and night latches are essential hardware components that enhance both security and airflow in windows and patio doors. These latches allow windows to be opened to a fixed position,providing ventilation,while simultaneously acting as a secondary lock to deter forced entry or accidental opening. Whether upgrading worn-out hardware or outfitting new installations, quality vent and night latches ensure smooth operation and peace of mind for property owners.

Main Uses and Applications

Commonly found on casement, awning, and sliding windows, vent and night latches help control how far a window can open. They are especially useful in multi-story buildings, homes with children, or any application where safety and air circulation must be balanced. These latches often serve as a supplementary lock, enhancing the primary locking system without compromising accessibility or convenience. For example, products like the Ashland® 2" Vent Lock/ Stop - Beige are specifically designed for easy integration with a wide range of window types.
