THE CASEMENT HARDWARE COMPANY 406 North Wood Street » Chicago Branch Sales Offices: New York +» Boston 7 San Francisco 1928 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2023 with funding from Columbia University Libraries https://archive.org/details/windorcasementwi00case er Important Foreword IKE the proverbial chain which is no stronger than its weakest link, a case- ment window can be no more satisfactory than its hardware. Therefore, only the novice would fail to appreciate the im- portance of the hardware which supports, swings, holds and makes a casement weathertight and insect proof. Old devices for holding casements open or closed were effective in countries un- troubled by insects, high winds, driving rains, extremes of cold. But such devices are far from satisfactory under American conditions and are utterly obsolete in con- junction with modern screening methods —1inside screens with outswung casements. Since 1906 Win-Dor devices have been progressing hand-in-hand with the best architectural practice in casement window installation. Specialists in the field, we have gradually developed a beautiful, practical and economical line of highly specialized devices. The preeminence of the Win-Dor line today entitles us, we feel, to the name of “Casement Hardware Headquarters.” Each Win-Dor device is designed to satisfy the highest American standards of greater beauty, utility and practical convenience, yet each is obtainable at a cost little if any more than that of devices modeled on obsolete European lines which are demon- strably unsuited to the conditions they must meet in this country. The following pages show hardware suited toall types of casements as used in America today, both steel and wood, both standard and special sizes. Here is a line, complete, handsome and of the highest quality, yet so simplified as to be economically available for every casement structure.

Series 25 Through Screen Operator This crank-style, geared operator has been especially designed for use with standard or special sizes of steel casements but is applied with equal effective- ness to all sizes of wood casements. It is exceptionally well proportioned and finished and its beauty of line and workmanship makes it suitable for use in the finest buildings. It permits the casement to be swung quickly to any desired position, full opening being possible with only four turns of the crank. Such control 1s particularly desirable where inside screens are used because with Series 25 Operators the screen never has to be opened. When left in any position the casement cannot be again moved unless the handle is turned from inside the room and since the handle is detachable it is impossible for children to tamper with a casement so equipped. However, all Series 25 handles may be easily attached (permanently) where desired. The operator is exceptionally easy to use and will never stick or jam due to the fact that working parts are of bronze which cannot corrode even in damp or salt air climates. Geared Operator Series 25 has been favorably received by architects and builders everywhere, and has been tested and endorsed by leading steel casement manufacturers. It comes in a variety of finishes and materials suitable for use on all types of construction from bungalow to large apartment, club or public building. No. 25—Malleable iron and steel with bronze and brass bushings. Cadmium or Parkerized finish. Handed, fixed lefts and rights. No. 25A—Same as No. 25 except channel (on sash) which is brass instead of steel. No 25B—AIl brass. Dull brass or sanded antique brass finish. All other finishes to order. Handle No. 250—Steel, plated finishes. Can be cut off to conform to stool width. Standard lengths: 5, 8 and 10 inches. Handle No. 250B—Same as No. 250, but brass instead of steel. Handle No. 251—Turned brass knob grip, steel shaft. Can be permanently attached. Handle No. 251B—Solid brass, otherwise like No. 251.

The round pivot block is mounted upon the sill and straddled by the screen so that only half of the pivot block is visible within the room. The detachable handle can be removed and hung up out of sight or can be permanently attached if desired. This type of operator is very easy to install on new or old construction. It comes in the following materials and finishes: No. 7—Sash channel and swivel rivet of brass, balance all steel, rust- proof cadmium and parkerized finishes only.

Approx. full size. wood casement. Series 24 Through Screen Operator This is a direct acting operator similar to Series 7 but is designed to control a wood casement under rather than through the screen. It is particularly suited to use with metal frame or roll-up types of screen and makes an exceptionally neat, unobtrusive installa- tion with them. The pivot block of Series 24 is designed to set flush into the window sill instead of being fixed on top of it. The installation is accomplished by simply sinking a square, shallow mortise into the stool. The method of operation is identical with that of Series 7 and the lock is equally positive and automatic upon the release of pressure. Unlike Series 7 however, the handles for Series 24 are not per- manently attachable because most users prefer to hang them up out of sight when not in use, thus capitalizing upon the unobtru- sive character of the device. Series 24 is made in solid brass only. No. 24B is finished in dull or sanded antique brass finishes. Other standard hardware finishes to order. Handed fixed lefts and rights. Handle No. 242B, solid brass, in finishes to match the operator. Specifications and Installation Data Flange—3 % in. square. Cup depth—including plate— in. Diameter cup—2% in.

Page Eight Win-Dor Series 61 Casement Stay as installed on standard steel (outswung) casement with “offset” or “cleaning” hinges. The short reach necessary to alter the position of even a wide-open casement, and the consequent convenience and security for the user, are obvious at a glance. Series 61 Automatic Casement Stay Win-Dor Series 61 Improved Casement Stay is in no way a sub- stitute for operators on steel or wood casements but is the most effective equipment for use in climates where screens are not needed or in buildings so high as to make the insect nuisance negligible. It is operated with only one hand and in the most natural and easy manner imaginable. There is no need to lean out of the window at any time and there are no holes to find, no screws to tighten, no tension to adjust. Lifting the catch with one finger releases the lock. Releasing the catch again automatically and positively locks the stay and holds the casement rigidly in position. Cannot rattle, cannot come loose even in a high wind. Slamming, banging casements with the resultant broken glass and strain on hinges and butts are com- pletely eliminated. The stay is so simple in design and so posi- tive in action that there is no possibility of its getting out of order and necessitating replacement or maintenance. Series 61 Stays should outlast the building on which they are installed. These stays combine the best features of other types and add several entirely new ones. Yet their cost is only that of old- fashioned thumbscrew devices. Recently they have been improved in material, design and ease of operation. The lines are handsomer, the mechanism more com- pact, the finger-piece more comfortable and the clearance allowed for the operative’s hand more ample. Series 61 Stays come in the following materials and finishes: No. 61—Frass channel, parkerized steel arm and _ brackets, brass pivot screw. A\ll rust proofed, cadmium or parkerized. Handed fixed lefts and rights. No. 61A—Brass channel and handle end-piece, arm rust-proofed iron. Any standard finish on handle—balance cadmium or parkerized. Parkerized steel bracket. No. 61B—AIl solid brass. Any standard finish. For wood casements, same as above, but with wood stool pivot and wood screws order Nos. W61, W61A, W61B.

Series 043 “Bolt-Fast”—Series 81 and 83 Screen Hardware Series 43 and 043 Win-Dor Cam Action “Bolt-Fasts” are a new development de- signed to meet the demand for a combination bolt and fastener which will close a casement tight enough to exclude wind and rain. It is used exactly like the old style barrel bolt but its action is quite different, for as the handle of the bolt is turned flat against the sash after the bolt has been shot home, cam action takes place within the keeper and the window is drawn shut that last quarter-inch which means so much in protection from drafts and rain leakages. Series 81 Win-Dor Screen Hardware is the simplest to use and the quickest to install on the market. Screens snap in or snap out of position witha minimum of effort. Spring-clip handles with corrugated contact surfaces snap over round headed screws at each side of the window frame while the top of the screen slides behind a small angle plate at the top of the window frame. Series 81 is supplemented by Series 83 which consists of a split loop hanger which is applied to each upper corner of the screen frame enabling the home owner to snap the screen out of position without lowering it to the floor because it 1s supported by these hangers while free access to the window becomes possible. The screen, while supported, is dropped far enough to clear shade roller or curtain rod. ‘“‘Bolt-Fast’? Materials and Finishes Series 043: No. 043 (Outswung sash)—Iron and steel, rust proof finish.

Series 10 Transom Operator Transom Operators Series 10 offer a typical, Win-Dor simplified control for top-hinged, out-swung ventilators, of steel or wood, either with or without inside screens. One easy, quick movement of the handle throws the transom from closed to 25° open, or back again. In the closed position an automatic cam-latch locks the transom positively to the frame. In open and closed positions the transom is rattle-proof and secure. There is no tendency to warp, rack or strain either transom or hinges, because the Win-Dor Operator supports the sash firmly at the center. The installation with or without screens is extremely neat and there is no mechanism to be carried down the walls. Fool-proof in operation and easy to install, Win-Dor Transom Op- erators are adaptable to transoms at all heights from the floor. Those which are 5 or 6 ft. from the floor being operated directly by hand, those at a medium height being operated by an extension rod han- dle. High ones are readily controlled by a detachable window pole. Because of the extreme simplicity of these devices, they are sturdy yet very inexpensive.

The stays and operators will not work with friction hinges or friction pivots. With wood casements the simplicity and carefully worked out details of Win-Dor hardware insures unt formly successful installation even by the most inex- perienced labor. With steel casements it is only important (but is necessary) to specify Win-Dor hardware in the sash contract so that casements will be prepared with proper tapped holes for attachment. Practically every steel casement manufacturer is prepared to furnish Win-Dor hardware and Win-Dor template punchings on specification at no, or a nominal, extra cost. A majority of the largest producers now have all their casements standardized for Win-Dor attachment. General Specification A. For steel or wood out-swung casements to be screened. ‘All out-swung casements, as indicated, shall be equipped with Win-Dor thru-screen operators Series...........-. INGE ciee , made only by The Casement Hardware Co. Chicago.” B. Steel or wood casements not to be screened. * All out-swung casements indicated shall be equipped with Win-Dor positive automatic stays Series 61, INGOs at eee : made only by The Casement Hardware Co., Chicago.” C. Fasteners and Bolts—wood casements only. “Each single wood casement (mullioned) shall be equipped with one Win-Dor ‘Bolt-Fast’ made only by The Casement Hardware Co., Chicago. Each pair of double, rabbeted casements shall be equipped with two ‘Bolt-Fasts’ installed top and bottom of outside leaf. Upper bolt to be of such length as to bring handle within 6 ft. 6 in. from floor.” D. In certain cases where it is desirable to let the steel casement contract and proceed with erection before details of screen ing and hardware can be finally settled, the Win-Dor stand- ard interchangeable punchings will prove invaluable. Specify “Steel casements shall be furnished without stays or adjusters but with standard Win-Dor interchangeable punchings in all sash and frames to permit machine screw attachment of either stays or thru-screen operators, after sash erection. These punchings as per standards of The Casement Hardware Company, Chicago. “Casement contractor shall install Series 61 stays or standard type adjusters if selected. If thru-screen operators are used sash contractor will be required to install sash channels only. —This hardware, stays or operators will be supplied in sep- arate contract.” Condensed Notes on Steel Casements: Group I: The following manufacturers supply all their standard casements with Win-Dor standard punchings (attaching screw holes) and thus offer users a very flexible choice of several types of the best stays and operators any one of which may be simply attached to the standard sash with machine screws. DETROIT STEEL PRODUCTS CO., Detroit, Michigan, Fenestra Casements. This manufacturer also carries a complete stock of improved Win-Dor hardware at factory and warehouses throughout the country. Also gives allowance for standard stays when underscreen operators or other extra Win-Dor equipment is ordered with casements. TRUSCON STEEL CO., Youngstown, Ohio. Truscon case- ments, new 1928 type.

Win-Dor equipment carried in stock. Allowance for stays when under screen operators ordered with sash, Group II: The following manufacturers commonly supply their standard light and medium section casements with English type thumb-screw adjusters welded to sash. On specification they will supply Win-Dor punchings in lieu of the thumb-screws at same price. Win-Dor hardware, or at least punchings, should be specified in sash contract so that preparation may be most economically done at the factory. CRITTALL CASEMENT WINDOW CO., Detroit, Michigan.

DAVID LUPTON’S SONS CO., HENRY HOPE & SONS CO., INTERNATIONAL CASEMENT CO., LUN- DELL ECKBERG MEG. CO., J. 8. THORNE CO. (1), Philadelphia, CRITTALL CASEMENT WINDOW CO. (1) Note. This manufacturer produces light and medium casements with a special friction pivot with which Win-Dor devices are not operable, but also furnishes standard type hinges to order with which Win-Dor may be used. . Page Twelve : Series 20 Automatic Top-Bolt (Through-screen operated) This amazing new Win-Dor invention now makes it possible to secure a squeeze-tight fit of casement to frame at top as well as bottom—without opening the screen. Applied to any out-swung casement operated with a gear or crank type through-screen operator (preferably Win-Dor Series 25), the closing action of the sash is automatically translated to the top. With this equipment, casement fasts and other bolts are elimi nated, screens need never be opened for adjusting or locking. The one simple operation of turning the operator crank-handle does all the work. Important as are these advantages, the Series 20 Bolt is unbelievably simple, economical and easy to install on old or new buildings. Fits all wood or steel casements (single or double meeting-rail type). Will make a tight-fit of sash having a warp of as much as one inch at top.
