📘 FAQs – Window Catches

❓ What is a window catch?

A window catch is a mechanical fastener that secures a window closed. It can also reduce draughts and improve home security.

❓ Which types of windows are these suitable for?

Our window catches are best suited for timber-framed sash, casement, or side-hung windows. Be sure to check the product specs for compatibility.

❓ Are locking window catches more secure?

Yes, locking catches (often with a key) provide added protection, particularly on ground-floor windows or easily accessible areas.

❓ Can I use these for a heritage or period home?

Absolutely. We stock traditional styles like wedge fasteners, stay catches, and hook & eye latches in antique finishes, perfect for listed buildings.

❓ Are catches handed (left/right)?

Some catches are non-handed, while others are left or right-hand specific. This is noted on each product listing for clarity.

❓ What finish should I choose?

This depends on your décor and existing hardware. Brass or bronze suits traditional interiors; chrome, nickel, or matte black works well for modern homes.

❓ Are window catches easy to fit?

Yes – most are supplied with fixings and are DIY-friendly, requiring just basic tools like a screwdriver or drill.
