The Maco Pincer lock is manufactured by Maco Frank Germany's largest hardware manufacturer for the window industry supplying more than 50% of all the tilt & turn fittings used worldwide with an unrivalled reputation for the reliability and performance of their products.

High Quality materials and finishes give exceptional corrosion resistance, whilst tight production control ensures that each product will last for years. The design of the Maco Pincer High Security sash results in lower after sales service costs when compared with shootbolt locking systems.

Precision engineering provides smooth, effortless operation. With a simple turn of handles the unique gearbox activates up to four pairs of high strength 'mushroom Pincers' simultaneously driving each pincer into a double-sided security striker from opposite directions.
This double action locking means that any attempt to force one pincer out of its closed position merely forces the opposing pincers deeper into their strikers, strengthening rather than weakening the system's security.
