A locking cam (or locking pin) is a component of a window<\/u><\/a> and consists of small, cylindrical pins on the opening side of the window sash<\/u><\/a>, which engage into matching keeps on the frame to close and lock the window. Depending on their size, some windows have multiple locking cams.<\/p>\n

The locking cams must be correctly adjusted so that the window can guarantee its security and functionality. They are turned and, depending on the direction of rotation, increase or decrease the contact pressure of the seals between the window frame and the window sash. A readjustment of the locking cams can become necessary, for example, if drafts begin to penetrate.<\/p>\n
