Sliding hardware
On windows or balcony doors with sliding hardware the sashes can be
moved horizontally or vertically by operating a ‘hand-lever’ (handle).
On special constructions the sashes additionally can be folded by sliding
(like an accordeon – Fold&Slide windows).
On special constructions some of the sashes additionally can be brought
into a turning position and/or into a limited tilting position in the case of the
scissors (sash-stay) version.
When a sash is closed and the hardware is locked, the resistance of a
gasket usually needs to be overcome.
