The locking mechanism for Tilt-and-Lock is built into the handle on European windows made of uPVC. The window can be opened in two ways: tilted up like a hopper, or sideways using hinges to open as a casement. This allows for effortless cleaning and ventilation, without drafts. When the window is tilted, the window is safe for children and offers an escape route in case in an emergency. The sash can also be locked securely in this position to stop burglars from getting access to the home.
When shut, the tilt and turn function will lock your window into an impervious compression seal. This seal increases energy efficiency. Air leakage around sliding windows can cause as much as five times the amount of heat or cold that escapes in your home every hour.

If you suspect that the tilt lock is simply stuck due to lack lubrication, you can apply a tiny machine or rubbing alcohol on the parts. The Sensei handles are available in a variety of finishes to match the windows that they work with.
