Product Information
Full details
The Yale Window Latch is an ideal security solution for homeowners or renters looking to reinforce outward-opening metal windows. These surface-fixed locks provide a reliable physical barrier against unauthorized entry by securing the sash to the frame-fixed staple. While the compact design is unobtrusive, users should note that they require manual operation with the included key for each locking and unlocking action.

Troubleshooting
Key does not turn smoothly in the lock
Apply a small amount of graphite or silicone spray lubricant into the keyhole and work the key gently to distribute.
Latch does not line up with the staple
Check if the window frame has shifted. You may need to slightly reposition the staple plate to ensure perfect alignment.
Screws are stripping during installation
Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver and have pre-drilled appropriately sized pilot holes for the metal frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the window is fully closed and aligned with the frame. Place the latch on the sash and the staple on the frame, ensuring they engage correctly when locked. Mark the screw holes, drill pilot holes if necessary, and secure with the provided hardware. For care, keep the mechanism free of dust and debris by wiping with a damp cloth periodically. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the keyhole annually to ensure smooth operation of the locking pins. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the white protective finish.
