The Whitco White 5-Disc Lockable Chain Winder is a chain type operator that opens and locks awning windows. It has a mild steel chain and a 5-disc wafer cylinder, supplied with two Whitco keys, and retrofits existing Whitco MK7 and MK8 chainwinder models.
The window opens to a maximum of 300mm in 19 turns of the handle and can be wound closed while locked. A foldable knob reduces the handle's width so it will not damage or catch on blinds. A restrictor clip can limit the chain to a 100mm or 150mm opening, helping comply with Building Code Australia D2.24 (Protection of Operable Windows).
The body and mechanism are zinc diecast, with a passivated zinc steel base plate and chain. Exceeds the Australian window lock standard AS4145.3-2001, level DW2SW2K1.
