What fittings for this window?

Question

Hoping anyone can advise me on this.I have an inward opening casement window in a basement conversion.    At themoment there is a simple catch holding it shut but this is obviously notvery secure.    I want it to be lockable & secure but also be able to leaveit open a bit unattended, maybe with some kind of lockable device.I was thinking of an espagnolette type lock but this won't give me theability to leave the window a little for ventilation.   (It does havetrickle vents but there are times when you need more than this.)    Before Igo & spend a fortune on an espagnolette, which won't do all I want, doesanyone have any neat solutions to this?Thanks,Roger

I've seen a variation on a standard handle for metal casement windows - the sort which have a handle half way up, and which rotate through 90 degrees to open and close - the ones I'm thinking of have a notch in the catch part which can be engaged over the frame, to give a secure gap of about 0.5". Hard to explain in words!

Yes it will.The handle works the spag bolts directionally.The keeps (fitted to the outer frame/transom/mullion) have a double slot.One position closes the sash completely, the other gives the facility for secure ventilation. The handle should have a key and a button which will be either "push to open" or "push to lock".HTH

Not ready made, no, but its easy to diy something with almost any kindof window lock. Dont be tempted to go with anything that wont do theajar function, its something I wuoldnt live without.NT
