Ellipse Body Multi-Point Window Lock (Left Hand)

The Ellipse Body left-hand multi-point window lock lever features a low-profile elliptical smooth design and is engineered to avoid curtain or blind interference when in the locked or unlocked position. Compatible with both casement and awning windows, this tie bar engaging multi-point lock features extended "reach-out" capability providing a delayed locking operation that enables the first half of the handle's rotation to fully engage the keeper closest to the bottom of the window near the operator, while the second half of the handle's rotation then engages and pulls-in the keeper at the top of the sash.

LOOK FOR THE STAMP

Commonly (not always) found with 3285 L stamped on the linkage arm.

 TIP

To determine the handing (i.e. left hand or right hand) of this multi-point window lock lever identify the side of the multi-point lock that the handle is on when the linkage arm is facing upward. If the handle is on the left side of the multi-point lock when viewing the lock from the interior of the home you have a right-hand multi-point casement window lock. If the handle is on right side of the multi-point lock when viewing from the interior of the home, this is a left-hand multi-point casement window lock.

In most cases, the same conclusion can be made if you determine which side of the window the lock is on when viewing the window from the interior of the home. Left-handed for left side, right-handed for right side.
