Reversible Window
Operation
7.6.6 Entrance Door
Operation
Always keep the window in the closed position when moving
the handle and never pull on the window whilst turning the
handle. These instructions are relevant for doors that open-inwards
or outwards, usually as entrance doors. These guidelines are
primarily for when a lever handle is fitted on both sides of
the door.
Opening from the closed position: Unlocking and Opening
• T  urn the handle 90º from horizontal to vertical and push
the window forward, it will click into a restricted open
position of approximately 100mm. Some handles may have
key locks which must first be released. • Insert the key and turn it to unlock.
• Push the handle down and hold to disengage the locking
components and open the door.
• P  ress the restrictor, located on the centre hinge to
disengage, the window can now be fully opened.
Cleaning
• T  he window can also be fully reversed for cleaning. Once
in the fully reversed position the restrictors will engage
once again.
• W
 hen in the fully open position, if the pivot windows are
too loose friction adjustment can be made by tightening
the grommet located on the top of each hinge with an
Allen key.
• T  o reverse the window back to its normal position,
disengage the restrictor, located on the centre hinge and
turn the sash back in the opposite direction. The restrictor
may re-engage in the restricted position of approximately
100mm open. Release the restrictor again, pull the window
back to the closed position and turn the handle through
90 o from vertical to horizontal.
Closing and Locking
• Push or pull the door closed so that it clicks shut.
• Lift the handle up to engage the locking components.
• Insert the key, turn it to lock and then remove.
Maintenance
• Ensure all moving parts are kept free and clear of
obstruction. Do not trap or jam items in the window to
prevent it from closing
• Lubricate all moving parts at least once a year with a light
multi-purpose oil or acid-free lubricate (eg. Petroleum
jelly). Do not use spray oil or acidic lubricant. To prevent
excessive lubrication a lightly oiled cloth can be wiped
around all moving parts.
