The innovative activPilot fittings system has got additional features that increase the convenience and safety od window operating. The activPilot fittings is also distinguished by an attractive design.

Security

The activPilot locking system is based on the octagonal locking bolts. These bolts cooperate with standard or steel anti-burglar keeps. The security level is based on the number of steel anti-burglar keeps. The more steel keeps the higher security of the window. This modular fitting system is easily adapted to meet individual security requirements up to resistance class RC1, RC2 or even RC3. You only need to change correct number of the keeps and add the certificated handle with a key, It's possible, even after many years of the window usage.

The activPilot locking system based on security points (the octagonal locking bolts and the steel anti-burglar keeps) gives different burglary-resistant classes. The burglary-resistant window must:

be equipped with certified fittings with safe points in burglary resistance class 1 or 2 in accordance with the ENV 1627-1630 standard,
be made of a profile reinforced with a steel section,
have anti-burglary glass,
have a handle with a key,
be properly installed in the wall by an authorized installation group

The Winkhaus activPilot fitting has certificates confirming compliance with the ENV 1627-1630 standard in classes 1 and 2.

Easy to adjust

The temperature changes cause expansion and contraction of the pvc profiles. Therefore, it requires periodic adjustment of sash clamp to the frame. Octagonal locking bolt enables easy manual adjustment of pressure. Turning the locking bolt, you can reduce downforce sash to frame in summer and increase in winter. Winkhaus ActivPilot is the world's only hardware system equipped in such a way locking.

Attractive design

The modern design of the activPilot fitting gives the windows an attractive appearance. Frame catches and hinges refer to the latest trends in industrial design. The rounded edges look elegant and are easy to clean.

Flexible retrofitting

The activPilot fitting can be easily extended with additional functions. These are some of the elements that the installer will quickly and easily install in an already used window.

Dual function element DFE includes the fail safe device with a sash lifter. With this mechanism is impossible to tilt the window when the window is open. So the window sash can't move out from the upper hinge. The lifter lift a sash and smoothly ran from open to close position. This function is strongly recommended for big windows.

The MSL-OS mechanism responsible for a variable tilt function. Instead of one position of the tilt there are five. A tilted window is protected against slamming. With MSL fresh air ventilation is easily regulated individually and energy losses are avoided.

Double sash windows with 'flying moullion" are equipped with double sash drive rod a button. Pressing the button ejects the lever and opens the second sash. This solution is very smart and effective.

Triple function element TFE combines the fail safe device, the sash lifter with the balcony latch. Coming out on the balcony, we close the door, pulling a special handle. The latch holds the wing in the frame. The door will open again under light pressure from the outside.
