When the window is locked in its closed position, at minimum five locking pins made of steel slide into the metal rails inside the frame and then pull the vent closed, preventing any unauthorised access to your home. This type of system offers better protection from the elements than the sliding hinge mechanisms that are found in crank-style casement windows and does not expose the hardware to sun or rain which can cause damage.

This could be a major issue for larger windows, particularly on higher floors where the force of wind can be quite powerful. The risk of opening outwards is even greater for those who have limited mobility.
