Marvin Integrity Locking Mechanism Question

cookiemonster7
11 years ago

We are looking at Marvin Integrity, but I'm not too sure about the locking mechanism. The one I saw in the local showroom has the "catch" on the moving window itself (casement). I also recall the locking system being exposed when the window is open.

Is my recollection correct about the locking system?

Can anyone offer any insight with regard to this?

thanks for your professional opinions.
