With a variety of options available, it's essential to know the differences between them and how they can enhance the overall aesthetic and safety of your home.

These classic sash locks are designed to secure the window sash in place by hooking onto a keeper mounted on the window frame. Available in various finishes, such as white, stone, and bronze, traditional sash locks are ideal for those who prefer a timeless look for their casement windows.
Folding sash locks offer a sleek and modern design, with a low-profile appearance that seamlessly blends with the window frame. These locks are easy to operate, as they fold down when not in use, and fold up to lock the window securely. They are available in a variety of finishes, including white, stone, and brushed chrome, to match any home décor.
For added security, multi-point sash locks provide multiple locking points along the window sash. These locks are ideal for larger casement windows or those in high-crime areas, as they offer increased protection against forced entry. Multi-point sash locks come in a range of finishes and styles to suit any home aesthetic.
One of the primary benefits of Andersen casement window sash locks is the added security they provide. By securely locking the window sash in place, these locks help prevent intruders from gaining access to your home through your windows.
Properly functioning sash locks can also help improve your home's energy efficiency. When the window sash is locked securely in place, it creates a tight seal that prevents drafts and air leaks, helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce your energy bills.

When selecting a sash lock for your Andersen casement windows, consider the following factors:

Consider your home's overall security needs when selecting a sash lock. If you live in an area with higher crime rates or have experienced break-ins in the past, a multi-point sash lock may be the best option for added protection.

Select a sash lock that is easy to operate, especially for those with limited mobility or arthritis. Folding sash locks, for example, are designed with ease of use in mind, as they can be easily opened and closed with minimal effort.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.

Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
