Product Information

Full details

The Maco Rail Inline Espag Window Lock is an ideal security upgrade for homeowners and contractors looking to enhance window safety without the complexity of shootbolt systems. This high-security Reverse Action In Line (R.A.I.L.) mechanism uses twin cams to provide superior resistance against forced entry through sash separation. While it offers excellent security and simple installation, it is specifically engineered for 200mm sash rebate sizes, making accurate measurement essential before selection.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of R.A.I.L. over standard espagnolettes?

The reverse action ensures that the cams pull in opposite directions, clamping the sash more securely to the frame than unidirectional systems.

Do I need to install shootbolts with this lock?

No, the Maco R.A.I.L. system is specifically designed to meet PAS 24 security standards without the need for additional shootbolts.

What does the 22mm backset refer to?

The backset is the distance from the edge of the lock faceplate to the center of the handle spindle hole; this must match your existing window profile.

Can I use this on a window other than 200mm?

No, this specific model is engineered for a 200mm sash rebate size. Using it on an incorrect size will prevent proper engagement.

Is the finish resistant to coastal environments?

The Silverlook-Evo finish is designed for high corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many environments, though regular cleaning is recommended in coastal areas.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to lock or feels tight

Adjust the eccentric mushroom cams to reduce compression pressure on the weather seal.

Visible gaps or drafts around the window

Increase the compression by rotating the eccentric cams to pull the sash tighter against the frame.

Locking mechanism feels gritty

Clean away any debris in the Eurogroove and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the cam runners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-security rating without the need for complex shootbolts
  • Easy one-piece inline installation
  • Corrosion-resistant finish ideal for varying climates
  • Adjustable compression for improved thermal efficiency
  • Strong resistance against jemmying and sash separation

Cons

  • Specific to 200mm sash rebate size only
  • Requires professional installation for optimal alignment
  • Not suitable for windows requiring non-standard backsets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this lock is streamlined due to its one-piece design. Ensure your window features a 12mm or shallow Eurogroove to accommodate the rail. When mounting, align the locking points carefully with the striker plate to ensure the twin cams engage symmetrically. For maintenance, it is recommended to lightly lubricate the moving parts annually with a non-acidic, resin-free grease. Use a damp cloth to wipe the Silverlook-Evo finish to maintain its corrosion resistance; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can strip the protective coating.
