Abstract
A retractable window latch for locking together a first and second window having interlocking meeting rails. The retractable window latch includes a latch body having a faceplate that is substantially flush with a first interlocking meeting rail. A retractable bolt disposed in the latch body extends outwardly through a slot in the faceplate. A handle is coupled to the bolt for retracting the bolt into the latch body. The bolt remains retracted while the first and second windows are open. A flexible release member is disposed behind the faceplate such that the flexible release member engages a second interlocking meeting rail when the first and second windows are closed. The second interlocking meeting rail engages the flexible release member in order to lift the retractable bolt from the slot in the faceplate. A spring forces the bolt outwardly from the latch body to secure the first and second windows together.
