Abstract: Snubbers are used to secure casement windows against negative loading. One such snubber is adjustable and includes a base having a major axis and a minor axis orthogonal to the major axis, wherein a length of the base along a major axis is greater than a width of the base along the minor axis. A flange projects from the base in a direction substantially orthogonal to both the major axis and the minor axis. The base also defines at least one slot having a slot axis, wherein the slot axis is oblique to both the major axis and the minor axis.

Abstract: A window latch for a double hung window includes a housing and a tongue slidably engaged with the housing for moving between a retracted position and an extended position. A pivotable latch pivotably mounted within the housing releasably retains the tongue in the retracted position. As a window sash of the double hung window is lifted, a trigger slidably engaged with the housing pivots the pivotable latch so as to release the tongue from the retracted position.
