Key Features of a 22mm Backset Espag

• Multi-Point Locking: The main benefit of an espagnolette system is the multiple locking points, which make it very difficult to force the window open.

• Security: This type of lock offers a high level of security, often featuring “mushroom” shaped cams that are designed to resist being levered out of the frame.

• Weather Sealing: By pulling the window tightly against its frame at several points, the espag lock helps to create a secure seal with the window’s gasket, improving its resistance to wind, rain, and cold.

• Adjustability: Many espagnolette locks, including those with a 22mm backset, have an adjustment mechanism on the cams. This allows you to fine-tune the compression of the window against the frame to ensure a perfect seal and to accommodate for any minor manufacturing inaccuracies or settling over time.
