flap fitting Explanation: https://diy.hettich.com/fileadmin/content/mediathek/DIY/TFF_... Other terms may be used with a different manufacturer. If you have the name of the manufacturer then you might like to see if they have an EN version of their bits 'n' pieces. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2021-03-29 12:43:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://web.hettich.com/en-de/products-eshop/flap-fittings.j... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2021-03-30 11:24:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Other terms exist, one generic one being "window lock" but this alone will be insufficient as it does not convey the "compas" form nor the fact that it can be opened but in a limited way. There locks that you can fix to a frame and simply slide along to allow a window to open to a certain point (typically on sliding windows and doors). Other locks will have a sort of arm enabling an int/ext opening window to open to a certain point, limited by the length of the arm, some of which have variable length settings. |
