  1. Adjusting Tilt and Turn Inswing Door or Window Before any adjustments are made please ensure that the product is square and plumb in the opening and is shimmed properly. Any bowing in the frame due to installation should be removed.

  2. Adjustment Points • In swing Tilt and Turn windows or doors have four adjustment points located on the operating sash hardware. • Two are located at the bottom hinge and two on the top hinge.

  3. Bottom Hinge Adjustment Lower cover can be left in place. It has a cut out on both sides allowing for Allen key.

  4. Bottom Hinge Adjustment Using a 5/32” Allen wrench the lower corner of the sash can be adjusted. Rotating the wrench will laterally move the lower part of the sash.

  5. Bottom Hinge Adjustment To raise or lower the entire operating sash use the 5/32” Allen wrench in the upper hinge component of the Bottom hinge. The hinge cover can be slid off to access the adjusting screw.

  6. Top Hinge Adjustment To adjust the head of the sash place a 5/32” Allen wrench in the adjusting screw. This will laterally move the head of the sash.

  7. Top Hinge Adjustment To change the compression on the top sash seal place a 5/32” Allen screw into the top hinge adjustment screw. This is located on the underside of the top hinge arm. There is only a ½ turn adjustment to increase or decrease the compression. The adjustment screw has a score line on the head.

  8. Handle Lockout Device Located on the handle side of the sash is a handle lockout device. The device is spring loaded so when the sash is open the tab should look as pictured LHS . When in the above lock out position the handle cannot be moved. When the sash is closed the tab bottoms out on the frame component and moves to center RHS. If the handle lockout does not spring open when the sash is open, then the handle could be rotated, which could release the top hinge, causing the top of the sash to tip inward, or the lock pins on the sash could be moved to the locked position and when closed the pins would hit the keepers.
