uPVC Window Catch

thingiverse

We've got indoor cats like ours, and in scorching weather, it's a real challenge keeping the windows latched tight to prevent them from making a break for it! Alternatively, you might want to crack open the windows slightly, but still keep those neighborhood strays out! So I came up with this nifty little catch that attaches securely to the uPVC window frame. The handle gets trapped, ensuring it can only swing open a bit. This design is tailored for 60mm high uPVC cross-members, but you can easily scale it up or down to fit your needs – just make sure to adjust the size accordingly. This isn't a security system, don't get us wrong! It won't stop a determined intruder from climbing in. But so far, this clever catch has outsmarted our curious cats!
