Awning Windows

Hardware Options

Truth Hardware’s Encore Operators – Winder Operated

Winder hardware option uses a rotary operation system to open the window and it consists of 3 components:

1. Operator and Cover – Operator hardware is located at the base of the window and the mechanism that opens the window sash is only visible when the sash is in the open position. Awning windows use different styles of operators. Operator cover (handle) sits on the spline shaft and is turned to open and close the sash. Cover sits directly under the operator handle and covers the operator gears. Crank handles offer easy operation by rotating a crank to open and close the window. Folding handles provide a sleek and modern look, folding neatly against the window frame when not in use.
2. Sash locks – The lock hardware is located on either side of the window frame and locks the window. For awning window locks are install on both sides. The locks pulls the sash toward the frame evenly from all sides, this ensures the compression seal is engaged properly and acts as a barrier to air leaks and drafts and ultimately performs to its full potential. Available in two option
3. Hinges – for awning opening we can offer friction hinges or 2D butt hinges.

Friction hinges allow the window to open and close smoothly while providing stability in various positions. They come in different sizes to accommodate different window sizes and weights.
