Hello,

I am an architect working on a renovation for an existing apartment building. The jurisdiction is requiring us to add window opening limiters to the existing single-hung vinyl windows because the sills are lower than 36? above finish floor. Can your vent latch kit 26-387 be used for this purpose? Can the devices be unlocked in the event of an emergency so the occupant can escape through the window?

Thanks for your help.

Hey, Kathy. It sounds like our 26-387 can work for you. They can indeed unlock if needed. I recommend watching the video we have for it, that should give you a good idea if this can work for you.
