Customer Reviews for Everbilt Bright Brass Steel Window Sash Lock

I bought this to replace a sash lock on a wood frame double hung window. The previous lock was part of the original hardware in my house and broke after 30 years of use. This was my first experience looking for a quality replacement as all my other original locks are still going strong. This hardware matched the original hardware in appearance, but definitely not in quality. During install, the bottom lip of the recess for the screw head completely detached from the lock while fastening it to the window frame. I made the mistake of thinking this might be user error. Maybe I overtightened. So, I bought a second one, in white (SKU #590406). I was able to fasten the second one to the window frame without issue, but a piece securing the internal lock mechanism broke off while fastening it the first time. In both cases, the metal surrounding the pieces that broke off seemed to be very thin. After two different points of failure, it's hard for me to understand how this hardware is still being sold.

I purchased one of these to put on a toddler’s busy board. My son loved moving the lock back and forth; to the point where this broke after a couple of months. The finish looked great, but the longevity of the lock makes me wonder how long it would have lasted on an actual window.

Simple and easy to install. Works well.

Every thing from Home Depot is great

Very easy to install. Done within about a minute. Comes with Phillips-head screws versus the old Flat-head style. That’s a blessing in itself! Great value.

Sharlene was very helpful.

Lock worked as expected

Did the job as expected. An inexpensive solution to assuring windows are secure.

I only used the larger part (with the riveted pivot point). It is not as heavy-duty as the 60+ year old original part that it replaced, but it should work fine in normal service as long as it is not stressed too much.

Locks were very easy to install they work great

They are inexpensive window locks that do what they are supposed to do
