HARDWARE REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
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
TM
.
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 does have an
adjustable keeper.
There is a metal stiffener in each sash. To avoid disturbing the location
of the stiffener, the sash must be removed and the lock stile kept
horizontal before and during lock removal and installation.

GLIDE BUTTON ADJUSTMENT
Many windows do
not have adjustable
glide buttons. This
adjustment only applies
to glide buttons with
an Allen key, all others
are not adjustable
(some windows use
rollers instead of glide
buttons; these rollers
are not adjustable).
Adjust the sash by
raising or lowering
the glide buttons
asfollows.
1. Remove sash.
2. Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to raise or lower the glide button.
3. Turn clockwise to lower the sash.
4. Turn counterclockwise to raise the sash.
5. Replace sash.
Important Note! Adjusting glide buttons too high will increase risk of
air/water leaks. Adjusting the buttons too low can cause sash to drag
on lower track. Ideal adjustment for sash is as low as possible but
just high enough to avoid drag. Keep the stiles parallel to frame. One
glide button may need to be raised and one lowered. Check by almost
closing the sash and looking for an even, parallel gap.
