When tilt and turn windows are closed, they lock like any other fixed window. But, by turning the handle 90° or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the sash window replacement can be opened upwards and the window will be tilted in to allow air exchange through the opening at the top of the frame. This is an excellent way to allow air circulation without opening the large windows that could be dangerous.
