LOCK REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Different lock styles were used during different periods of
manufacture. Each window will have either a cam lock, WEN-Lock
TM
, or MAG-Lock
®
. Replace the lock if it is broken; adjust the keeper if
applicable. A cam lock and a WEN-Lock with a smooth top do not have
adjustable keepers. A WEN-Lock with visible screws on the top has an
adjustablekeeper.
Note! Operating sashes must be unlocked and open, or removed,
before attempting lock removal. There is a metal stiffener in each sash.
To avoid disturbing the location of the stiffener, if the sash(es) are
removed, the lock rail must be kept horizontal before and during lock
removal and installation.
