| I posted below about a "transcept" window but realized soon after that I meant "transom" window. Does anyone have one? The hardware was stripped off mine (it is over the bathroom door) and I'd like to restore it. I guess I'm looking for a latch that can be operated with a pole, and a chain that let's the window open only so far. All the signs of hardware are gone, so I don't know how best to place it. Does anyone have advice or photos? |

| Van Dyke's or Restoration hardware might have it, as well. Both the house I grew up in and the house my Mom now lives in (1880s and 1903, respectively) have transom windows. All of them have operators, a long push rod that attaches to the door casing. You push/pull on the rod to open/close the transom, no pole needed, and no chain needed. From what I'm finding on the web, though, those units are expensive. |

| I'd also check Wm. J Rigby. He has tons of old house hardware. |
