Zinc Die Casting

You can assemble zinc castings using many low-cost methods. The resulting assemblies operate smoothly. Assemblies can be for structural or decorative components.
Decorative Finishes
Zinc is a perfect material for highly scrutinized door and window hardware. Castings made from zinc alloys provide an optimal substrate for decorative finishes. Zinc provides a smooth surface that adheres well to paints, powder coats, and plated finishes.
Furthermore, zinc alloys offer durability, strength, and security in function. But also high perception of quality that resonates with all end-users.

The Strength of Zinc
Zinc has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Compared to other materials, zinc alloys offer superior strength, making them a preferred choice when durability is essential. This ratio ensures that window sash locks not only endure heavy forces but also maintain a lightweight profile.
Its ability to withstand external pressures without compromising form or function ensures that the sash lock secures windows. Proper window hardware is in many cases the first line of defense for single family home security.
Zinc Die Cast Window Sash Lock
The window sash lock is an important part of any window in a home. A zinc die cast window sash lock is a crucial component, safeguarding windows with both strength and visual appeal. Sash locks come in many different shapes, sizes and colors, but they all used for the same purpose.
A critical role of a sash lock is to be strong enough not to break when subjected to heavy force. Zinc alloys stand out as an essential metal used in the casting of window sash locks.
Three Components: Sweep, Base and Cam
At the core of a zinc die cast window sash lock is three essential components, each playing a distinct role.
The sweep, positioned as a lever on top of the base for a person to push, thus locking and unlocking the window. As the sweep moves from one side to the other, it engages the cam mechanism within the sash lock. The cam is a hidden locking mechanism situated beneath the base.
The cam is the locking mechanism that hooks into the window or keeper to ensure the window cannot open. Proper installation of the sash lock on a windowsill prevents the cam from being visible. This is because of the base covers it up and provides the foundation for the sash lock.
Only the cam remains in its raw form within the sash lock. Generally, zinc die cast sash locks are powder coated or plated to give it an appealing look to match the theme of the home.
