Camax Hardware manufactures lockable window handles with TBT function

TBT (Tilt Before Turn) window handles are innovative solutions designed to enhance both the functionality and security of windows. These handles allow users to tilt the window for ventilation before turning it fully to open, providing greater control and safety. Lockable TBT window handles are especially important in both residential and commercial settings, ensuring that windows remain secure while offering ease of use. Whether you're looking for durability, style, or a secure locking mechanism, Camax’s TBT window handles are built to withstand the test of time and the elements, making them a reliable choice for any building.

What is a TBT Window Handle?

The TBT (Tilt Before Turn) window handle is a specialized window locking mechanism designed for optimal security and functionality. Unlike traditional window handles, the TBT function ensures that the window first tilts open before the handle can be turned to fully open the window.

Tilt – The handle must be turned downward to allow the window to tilt inward slightly (for ventilation).

Turn – Only after tilting can the handle be rotated fully to open the window completely.

This two-step operation prevents accidental or unauthorized opening, making it ideal for homes with children, high-rise buildings, and commercial spaces.

1. Importance of Lockable Window Handles

Lockable window handles are essential for both functionality and security in any building. In residential and commercial settings, they not only allow for easy window operation but also serve as an added layer of security, especially in preventing unauthorized access or tampering. Whether for residential homes, schools, office buildings, or hospitals, a lockable window handle ensures peace of mind by keeping windows secure while still offering easy operation for the building's occupants.

Camax TBT Window Handle: Features and Benefits

1. Design and Functionality

Camax TBT window handle's lockable feature plays a significant role in providing additional security. With the tilt-before-turn mechanism, the window cannot be fully opened unless the correct sequence is followed. This makes it more challenging for intruders to gain access through windows, especially in environments that require extra precaution, such as schools, hospitals, or office buildings.

The handle also features a secure locking mechanism that prevents unauthorized tampering or operation. The key-operated lock ensures that only authorized users can open the window, further enhancing security.
