Vinyl Series 2020 Casement Hardware

Operator

Casement window sashes open and close using a hand-cranked, gear-driven operator that is connected to a glide hinge system. The operator is located on the sill. A casement sash can be opened up to 90° perpendicular to the normally closed position.

Glide Hinge System

Our Glide Hinge System consists of lower and upper glide arm assemblies. The lower set is connected to the crank operator. These glide hinges create pivot points at the top and bottom of the sash to achieve left or right hinging, depending on your choice. Hinging is specified as viewed from the exterior.

The Glide Hinges are adjustable to fine-tune the sash alignment and operation.

Single Lever Latching System

The Single Lever Latching System consists of one lever that activates three latch points along the side of the sash. This multiple-latch system provides uniform closure over the entire height of the sash. The latch lever and surround trim match the finish chosen for the operator handle. Sash Snubbers on the hinge side of the sash and jamb prevent bowing when the sash is closed.
