Lock Mechanism (March 2017 - Present)
In March 2017 a new tilt release system was launched. This easy tilt-release system is made up of a quick-release lock mechanism and tilt-latch assemblies. The new quick-release lock mechanism is activated from the center lock position. The initial counter-clockwise lock rotation unlocks the sash. Once opened, further counter-clockwise lock rotation allows the lower sash to be tilted to the interior for easy exterior cleaning. There are no wash assists with this system.
