Usage
The horizontal pivot striker i.S. is designed for installation on aluminum thresholds, specifically compatible with the V13 system. It provides a secure and reversible locking point for windows and patio doors in residential or commercial buildings.
Advantages
- Reversible design allows use on both left and right-handed openings.
- Engineered for precise fit with aluminum V13 thresholds, ensuring compatibility.
- Facilitates reliable multi-point or pivot locking systems commonly used with MACO hardware.
- Contributes to window and door sealing effectiveness by supporting correct sash closure position.
- Slim profile minimizes visibility while maintaining security; may require careful alignment during installation for optimal function.
Specifications
- Made from corrosion-resistant metal alloys engineered for use in conjunction with modern aluminum threshold profiles (V13 standard).
- Satisfies manufacturer’s durability standards appropriate for long-term framing hardware; MACO quality compliant.
- Tolerates repeated mechanical movements under typical operating forces, contributing to the lifespan of window or door assemblies.
- Main distinguishing feature is its horizontal operation axis and reversible configuration, which increases its versatility across multiple installation scenarios.
How it works
The gâche pivot i.S. attaches horizontally to an aluminum threshold (V13) frame. When the handle or lock mechanism engages, a locking cam enters the striker, securing the sash firmly in place whether opened from the left or right side. This maintains reliable closure alignment over time.
