The weakest part on any original sash window was the locking mechanism or ‘cam catch’. Burglars would flick the latch with a butter knife to gain entry.
This is not so with Bygone sash windows as every range has beautiful cam catches in either a traditional Beehive or Acorn motif with matching tilt release knobs. Look closely and you’ll see each keep has a nylon insert to protect the claw from being scoured. Four screws and two secret location pins hold every keep firmly in place even through rigorous testing.
Available in Champagne gold or chrome, with matching limit stops and sash lift handles these are robust and solid, screwed directly into the steel reinforcement on the window for maximum strength. Bygone cam catches are left or right handed, which centralises the sashes in the frame making it SBD (secure by design) compliant and strong enough to act as a deterrent for any unwanted visitors..
