Abstract
A sash latch for engagement with a side jamb of a window includes an upper member with a spring cavity and a stop wall, a forward slot for engagement with an upper surface of a sash and a latch extension. The latch extension includes a substantially planar surface and an inclined planar surface extending at an acute angle relative to the substantially planar surface. The inclined planar surface includes a notch at a proximal end thereof, wherein the notch receives an edge of a wall of the side jamb when a heavy wind load is applied to an outer facing surface of the sash to restrain the sash relative to the side jamb.
