Prime-Line Products U 9857 Sliding Window Pin Lock, 1-5/16-In. Long, Steel Construction, Chrome Finish

This sliding window pin lock is constructed of steel and comes in a chrome finished plating. This is the shortest lock pin manufactured by Prime-Line Products, and it is designed to fit on older style, metal framed windows – usually of single pane glass with very thin sash frame thicknesses. This pin lock features a holder where it can be stored when not in use, and a chain connecting the pin lock to the holder to avoid misplacement of pin. Window pin locks like these are designed to securely lock the sliding sash when in a closed or ventilating position, preventing the active panels from sliding on both horizontal and vertical sliding windows. Installation of this security device requires drilling into the sash frame with a 1/8 in. diameter drill bit, and caution should be used to avoid breaking glass with drill bit. Note: THIS WINDOW PIN LOCK IS DESIGNED TO FIT ON OLDER STYLE, METAL FRAMED WINDOWS – USUALLY OF SINGLE PANE GLASS WITH VERY THIN SASH FRAME THICKNESSES.
