A PRACTICAL GUIDE / VINTAGE CARAVAN WINDOWS

Identify your
window latch.

How to identify matching Viscount, Millard and Vicarr-style turn-handle hardware.

Start with the fitting already on your window. Viscount and Millard caravans can have different or replacement windows, so the badge and year alone do not establish which latch you need.

01 / LOOK AT THE FITTING

Match the latch pattern.

The Everykind 3D replacement follows a rotary latch pattern with four printed components: the LOCK/OPEN body, turning handle, hook and separate catch. Compare all four, including how the hook meets the catch when closed.

Take a photograph of the whole fitting, then close-ups of the body and catch with their fixing holes visible. Compare them with our component and fitted photographs. A similar handle alone is not enough to establish a match.

02 / KNOW THE MECHANISM

A latch or a winder?

The turn-handle operates the latch that holds the window closed. A winder, where fitted, opens the window. “Wind-out” and “push-out” describe how the window opens; they do not identify this particular latch. Match the latch mechanism itself.

03 / CHECK THE MOUNTING POINTS

Compare the fixing centres.

Measure from the centre of one fixing hole to the centre of the other. Use the stated dimensions rather than estimating size from a photograph. These are the sizes shown in our simple guide, all in millimetres.

Latch body

Overall body size
50 × 18.05 × 8.90 mm
Fixing-hole centres
42.7 mm apart
Fixing holes
2 × Ø3 mm

Separate catch

Overall size
20 × 11.36 × 11.36 mm
Fixing-hole centres
13.5 mm apart
Fixing holes
2 × Ø2.5 mm

Also compare the mounting position, hook engagement and available clearance on your window. Matching hole spacing is one check, not a guarantee of fit.

04 / CHOOSE WHAT YOU NEED

A few useful answers.

Will it fit every Viscount or Millard?

No universal model or year fit is claimed. Choose by matching your existing Vicarr-style rotary latch hardware. The complete Everykind 3D kit has been printed and fit-tested on a matching window.

The complete kit or just the catch?

The complete kit contains the body, handle, hook and catch, with screws and rivets. The catch-only offer supplies one catch with two rivets; it is not a complete latch assembly.

What if I am still unsure?

Send us clear photographs of your latch, catch and mounting position, along with your fixing-centre measurements. These help us compare the hardware before you order. Contact Everykind 3D.
