Heavy Duty Sash Locks for Unsprung Lever Handles

What are Heavy Duty Sash Locks?

Much like standard sash locks, heavy duty sash locks consist of a latch, operated by a handle, and a lock operated by a key. Sash locks are usually mortised into the door, and are one of the most common lever lock styles for both interior and exterior doors.

The difference between a standard sash lock and a heavy duty sash lock is that a heavy duty sash lock contains a very strong spring which is necessary for returning unsprung lever handles back to their horizontal position.
