Handles: Our installation team will have given you the keys for the handles. The keys are universal and one key can open/lock all window handles in place. All bedroom handles are non-locking and have cover caps on the key entry section of the handle for safety reasons.
Please note: The key lock only locks the handle in position: the window itself is locked by the movement of the handle. When a handle is locked, it prevents the handle being opened. This is why their use is prohibited in bedrooms.
To lock a window handle: Insert the key into the keyhole and turn ½ of one revolution. The handle is now fully locked. To unlock, simply turn the key in the reverse direction.
