How it works
The palier de compas installs onto the window frame as part of the tilt-and-turn mechanism’s articulation points. It acts as a bearing surface for the compass arm pin—enabling controlled pivoting so users can smoothly operate sashes in both tilt and turn positions while maintaining alignment and load distribution.
