Stipulated use
Turn-Only and Tilt&Turn hardware is one-hand operation Turn-Only and
Tilt&Turn hardware for windows and balcony doors in building construction.
This is used to enable windows and balcony-door sashes into a turning
position
by operating a ‘hand-lever’ (handle) or into a limited tilting position
in the case of the scissors (sash-stay) version. Turn-Only and Tilt&Turn
hardware
is used on vertically installed windows and balcony-doors made of
timber, PVC, aluminium or steel and their corresponding material combina-
tions.
Turn-Only and Tilt&Turn hardware as covered by this definition, locks
window and balcony door sashes or enables various ventilating positions.
When closing, the gasket counter force must be overcome as a rule.
Correct use also includes adhering to all the specifications in the product-
specific documents, such as:
– These
Installation, maintenance and operation instructions
– Product catalogues
– Information and specifications of the profile manufacturer (e.g. PVC or
light metal profiles etc.)
– The relevant directives TBDK and VHBE of the Quality Assurance Association:
Locks and Hardware (Gütegemeinschaft Schlösser und Beschlägee.V.)
– The valid national laws and directives
Any type of use that goes beyond or differs from the defined correct use
shall be regarded as misuse.
WARNING!
Danger from misuse!
Misuse and incorrect installation of hardware can result in
hazardous
situations.
– Never use hardware combinations that have not been approved
by the hardware manufacturer.
– Never use accessories that are not original products or that
have not been approved by the hardware manufacturer.

Stipulated application for end-users
Turn-Only and Tilt&Turn hardware
For windows and balcony doors with Turn-Only and Tilt&Turn hardware,
window and balcony door sashes can be brought into a turn position or
into a limited tilting position by means of the scissor stay.
When a sash is closed and the hardware is locked, the resistance of a
gasket
usually needs to be overcome.
WARNING!
Danger of injury and material damage from incorrect closing
and opening the sash!
Incorrect closing and opening of sashes can result in serious
injuries
and significant material damage.
Therefore:
– Ensure that when closing the sash, it does not collide with the
frame or with another sash.
– Ensure that the sash is guided slowly by hand throughout the
entire range of movement as far as the fully closed position,
and that it is brought very slowly towards the frame.
– Ensure that the sash never slams closed or swings open in an
uncontrolled manner.
Any use beyond or other than the stipulated application and installation of
the products is deemed to be misuse and can result in dangerous circum
-
stances.
WARNING!
Danger from misuse!
Misuse of
windows and balcony doors can result in dangerous
circum
stances.
In particular, avoid the following applications:
– insertion of obstacles in the opening area between the frame
and the window or balcony door sashes.
– the deliberate or negligent application of excessive loads on
windows and balcony doors.
– deliberate or uncontrolled slamming or pushing of windows
and balcony doors against the window reveal. This can destroy
the hardware, frame materials, or other individual components
of the windows or balcony doors.
Claims for damages of any type whatsoever resulting of operation other
than that stipulated are excluded.

Fabrication advice for timber and PVC
Maximum sash sizes and weights
The technical data, application diagrams, and component classifications in
the product-specific documentation of the hardware manufacturer give
instructions
on the maximum permitted sash sizes and weights. Here, the
component with the smallest permitted load bearing capacity decides the
maximum permitted sash weight.
– Check compliance of the technical data, application diagrams, and
component
classifications before the use of electronic data sets, and
especially
their use in fenestration programmes.
– The maximum permitted sash sizes and weights must never be exceeded.
In the case of uncertainty contact the hardware manufacturer.
Guidelines from the profile manufacturer
The manufacturer of windows and/or balcony doors must comply with all
specified system-related dimensions (e.g. gasket gap dimensions or locking-
point distances).
Furthermore, he must check these regularly and make
certain
of them, especially on the first use of new hardware components,
during manufacture, in an ongoing manner up to and including the window
installation.
NOTE!
The hardware components should in principle be designed in such
a manner, that the system-related dimensions can be adjusted to
the extent that they are affected by the hardware. If a deviation
from these dimensions
is noticed only after the installation of the
windows,
the hardware manufacturer is not responsible for any
possible additional work arising.
Composition of hardware
Burglary inhibiting windows and balcony doors require hardware which
fulfils
particular requirements.
Windows and balcony doors for damp rooms, and those for use in environ
-
ments with aggressive and corrosive air components require hardware
which fulfils particular requirements.
The resistance of windows and balcony doors to wind loads when closed
and locked depends on the actual designs of the windows and balcony
doors. Wind loads prescribed by law and standards (e.g. as per EN12210 –
especially test pressure P3) can be dissipated by the hardware system.
In general, the Turn-Only and Tilt&Turn hardware defined in this document
is able to fulfil legal and standard requirements for barrier-free habitations.
The hardware combinations and installations appropriate for windows and
balcony doors in the previously mentioned areas should be specifically
selected and agreed with the hardware manufacturer and the profile manu-
facturer.
NOTE!
The guidelines of the hardware manufacturer relating to the
combination
of the hardware (e.g. the use of additional stay arms,
the design of hardware for burglary-inhibiting sashes for windows
and balcony doors, etc.) are binding.

DANGER!
Danger to life from incorrectly installed and threaded
hardware
components!
Incorrect installation and threading of hardware components can
result in dangerous circumstances and cause severe accidents,
even including death.
Therefore:
– For installation and especially for threaded components, observe
the
product-specific documentation of the hardware manu-
facturer,
the information from the profile manufacturer, and all
contents of the TBDK directive of the Gütegemeinschaft
Schlösser und Beschläge.
For fixing the hardware components, Ø 3.9–4.2 x ... zinc plated and
passivated
steel fenestration screws are to be used. In the case of special
climatic conditions, use fenestration screws with additional sealing.
The window fabricator must ensure adequate fixing of the hardware
components
, consulting the screw manufacturer if necessary. When fixing
security relevant, supportive hardware components such as stay
bearings
and pivot rests, the tearing-forces vertical to the sash plane
surface
must be reached in accordance with the following table (the
tractive
-force values depend on the sash weights from the TBDK).
Sash weight in kg Tractive force in N1)
60 1650
70 1900

200 5500
1) acceptable tolerance -10%.
The stated values refer to the stay bearing. These are also valid for the pivot
rest if the fixing is carried out in the same manner as with the stay bearing.
On corrosive timber (i.e. afzelia, oak etc.), the hardware’s routed-areas are
to be treated with a protective coating before installing the hardware in
order
to protect the hardware.
Do not use any acid cross-linked sealing compounds that could lead to
corrosion
of the hardware components.
The glazing spacer-block regulations for the glazing method are to be
adhered
to.

The stated values refer to the stay bearing. These are also valid for the pivot
rest if the fixing is carried out in the same manner as with the stay bearing.
On sash weights up to 80kg the table’s values are reached as a rule, if
high-quality screws are applied and the screw-fixing into the profile pene
-
trates at least 2profile-walls, whereby the first profile-chamber wall should
be at least 2.8mm thick.
For sash weights over 80kg, a supplementary fixing into the reinforcement
profile or profile insertions according to the profile system, is necessary. By
means of applying the 130kg sash weight frame hinges, the required value
can be achieved also without supplementary measures.
Do not use any acid cross-linked sealing compounds that could lead to
corrosion
of the hardware components.
The glazing spacer-block regulations for the glazing method are to be
adhered
to.
