Casement windows are a popular choice for homeowners due to their versatility, style, and ease of use. However, with the growing need for safety and security, it is essential to have a reliable opening control device for these windows. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the different types of casement window opening control devices, their benefits, and how to choose the right one for your needs. So, let's dive in!
There are several types of opening control devices available for casement windows. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on your specific requirements. Some of the most common types include:
Window restrictors are designed to limit the opening of a casement window, preventing it from being opened too wide. This is particularly useful in homes with young children or pets, as it helps to prevent accidents and falls. Window restrictors can be easily installed on most casement windows and are available in a wide range of styles and finishes to suit your home's aesthetic.
Window locks are another popular option for casement window opening control devices. These locks can be installed on the window frame or sash, providing additional security and preventing unauthorized access. Window locks come in various styles, including key-operated locks, push-button locks, and even smart locks that can be controlled via a smartphone app.
Friction hinges are a type of opening control device that allows the casement window to be opened and held in place at various angles. These hinges use friction to keep the window open, eliminating the need for additional support or props. Friction hinges are a popular choice for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance, easy-to-install solution for their casement windows.
For those looking for a more high-tech solution, remote-controlled opening devices are an excellent option. These devices allow you to open and close your casement windows with the simple push of a button, making them perfect for hard-to-reach windows or those with mobility issues. Remote-controlled opening devices can be installed on new or existing casement windows and are available in both wired and wireless options.
There are several benefits to investing in a casement window opening control device, including:
One of the primary benefits of casement window opening control devices is the increased safety they provide. By limiting the window's opening or providing a secure locking mechanism, these devices help to prevent accidents and falls, particularly in homes with young children or pets.
Casement window opening control devices also provide an added layer of security for your home. Window locks and restrictors can help deter potential intruders by making it more difficult to gain access through your windows.
By allowing you to control the opening of your casement windows, opening control devices can help improve your home's energy efficiency. By limiting the amount of air that can enter or exit your home, you can better regulate your home's temperature and reduce your heating and cooling costs.
Finally, casement window opening control devices offer a level of convenience that traditional casement windows may not provide. Remote-controlled opening devices, in particular, make it easy to open and close your windows without the need for manual effort, while friction hinges allow you to easily adjust your window's opening angle.
When selecting the right opening control device for your casement windows, there are several factors to consider:
1. Safety Needs:If you have young children or pets in your home, a window restrictor or lock may be the best option to ensure their safety.
2. Security Concerns:For homeowners concerned about security, a window lock or restrictor can provide an added layer of protection against potential intruders.
3. Ease of Installation:Consider the ease of installation when selecting an opening control device. Some options, like friction hinges and window restrictors, can be easily installed by most homeowners, while others, like remote-controlled devices, may require professional installation.
4. Aesthetic Preferences:Finally, consider the style and finish of the opening control device to ensure it matches your home's aesthetic.
By considering these factors, you can find the perfect casement window opening control device to meet your needs and enhance your home's safety, security, and convenience.
In summary, casement window opening control devices are an essential addition to any home with casement windows. By understanding the different types available and considering your specific needs, you can choose the right device to improve your home's safety, security, and overall functionality.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

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.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. 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.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.

Doorwin energy-efficient integrated glazing units feature double-pane glass, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered glass, they can not only create a comfortable and natural indoor environment but also save electricity bills and heating bills of more than 100 USD for the owner, it’s a real bargain compared to choosing a regular glazing set.
Aluminum Door offered an air of uniqueness and elegance to a home. With their luxurious patterns and beautiful finishes, it provides this house with a bounty of aesthetics and security. Aluminum entry doors allow you to resist any weather extremes, corrosion, and pests.

Multi-point lock systems provide not only the burglar-resistance but also a tighter compression seam, making the window keeps good energy-efficient performance. Together with Technoform Bautec’s insulation edge bond and sealant strips, these make up our products' top insulation and energy-saving performance.

Labor costs during installation may exceed of the window and door price, therefore, our exclusive patent allows users to not only get a significant increase in installation efficiency, but also greatly reduce the labor cost of window and door installation. A cost that may bring you unexpected savings that far exceed the price difference you may care about now.
With our own expertise, we provided the no-cost design development and contract documentation with CAD & BIM drawings, including elevation, details about the project, and installation help.
Before production, we will provide accurate sample drawings, which will clearly show the cross-sectional pattern, size, opening method and direction, pattern of the warm spacer, and the installation nodes. We will not go into production until you have signed off on the drawing to ensure that you receive a final product that meets the exact requirements of your project.
