Product Description
Cameras show you what happened at a window. A catch like the 60mm Polished Chrome Fanlight Window Catch Spring Loaded is the small part that keeps it shut in the first place. It is a hand-operated latch with nothing to programme or switch on.
The spring holds the catch in its engaged position, so the window stays closed until someone deliberately pulls the ring. Pulling retracts the mechanism and the window can open. Release the ring and the spring takes the catch back to where it started.
At a glance

Before you order
Hold a tape against the space on your window or panel and compare it with the 60mm size. Then look at how the catch mounts against the fitting you have now. It suits a straight replacement or a new installation, so a like-for-like swap is the easiest case.
Besides fanlight windows, it is aimed at hinged panels such as cupboards, cabinets and wardrobes. It is a simple manual fastening, so think of it as a way of keeping a window closed, not as an alarm or a sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I open a window fitted with this catch?
Pull the ring. This retracts the mechanism so the window can open, and the spring returns the catch to its resting position when you release it.
Can it replace an existing catch?
Yes, it suits replacement or new installations. Compare the 60mm size and the mounting arrangement with your window before fitting.
What does surface-mounted mean?
The catch is fixed onto the face of the window frame or panel rather than being set into it.
Is it only for windows?
It is intended for fanlight windows and hinged panels, including cupboards, cabinets and wardrobes.
