When closed tilt and turn windows lock as a normal fixed window. By turning the handle either 90@ or 180@, based on the tilt-and-turn type of window, the sash will open to the outside and the window will tilt inwards to allow for air exchange. This is a great method to allow air circulation without opening the large, potentially dangerous window.
