Section of operating drive rail used at window corners to continue the gear action around the window. and to add additional security and strength with locking points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cylinder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In window applications, this is the unit that mounts through the sash thickness into the PZ mortise of a lockable window gear. The thumb turn knob and key activate a cam that locks the mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Eurogroove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The groove in which the hardware fittings are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

French Casement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Double window system with multi-point hardware on one sash and strike plates mounted on the opposite sash used to lock both units together. There is no fixed mullion. The handle that operates the locking gear is typically located at the bottom frame member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Frame<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A hardware fitting used to link components together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mishandling Device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A device used to limit the operation of the handle when the window is in the open position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mushroom Cam (S-ES)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designated by the letters “S-ES”; a “mushroom” shaped locking point whose function is similar to that of the roller cam, but adds additional security due to the inner locking of the cam and strike plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Over Rebate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term used to describe the amount of over lap between sash and frame sections. It is measured on the sash section from the face of the hardware fittings to the outside of the over-lap edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

TBT <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Special hardware which allows the first handle operation to Tilt at the top for ventilation. The second handle operation allows the window to Swing the sash inward for cleaning and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
