to provide long and trouble-free
service. The hole in the handle allows
operation of cam lock in elevated
locations. Two-piece strike design
includes a black polyester insert to
provide a smooth operation and reduce
wear. Inserts are available in various
heights to assure tight lock-up of
window. The 90º rotation of the handle
locks or unlocks the sash. This product
can exceed 300 lbs. of forced entry
resistance per locking point.
Truth offers two different ways in
which this product can be mounted to
the window sash - Face Mounted (In-

mounting applications, an Angle Base
feature is available. Consult the
drawings for further details.

RECOMMENDED SCREWS:
Types of screws required determined
by material of profile used. Refer to
drawings for complete information on
screw type and quantity needed (sold
separately). For additional information
regarding screw selection - see Truth
Tips and refer to Tech Note #11.
TRUTH TIPS:
1. For accurate hardware placement in
vinyl or metal applications, pre-drilling
of the window profile is recommended.
2. For vinyl window applications,
mounting screws should pass through
two PVC walls, or one PVC wall and
one insert wall. For this reason, it may
be necessary to use a longer screw than
is recommended.
3. For metal window profiles, Truth
recommends machine screws.
However, in most applications, sheet
metal screws will provide adequate
holding power.

operation in out-of-reach applications.
Window locks shall be of cam handle
design and utilize a two-piece strike.
