Pick resistant window lock manual control

A manual control used with a structure for locking a window sash to a window frame, comprising:

• a housing receivable in a frame opening having an outer boundary;
• a flange about said housing having an outer boundary greater than the outer boundary of the frame opening within which said housing is receivable;
• a handle pivotally secured to said housing and operably securable to the window locking structure for controlling the window locking structure in response to pivoting of said handle;
• a plastic gasket about said housing and adjacent said flange, said gasket further including an integrally formed flexible hook adapted to releasably secure said handle in one position relative to said housing.

A lockable window comprising:

• a window sash having a first locking member thereon;
• a window frame having a second locking member mounted thereon for movement between a locked position cooperating with the first locking member for locking said sash to said frame when closed against said frame and an unlocked position clear of said first locking member to allow movement of the sash relative to the frame, said frame having an opening therein for allowing access to said second locking member from an interior side of said frame;
• a housing including an enclosure open on one side with a flange around the one side, said housing being mounted with its enclosure substantially in said opening and its flange on the interior side of the frame;
• a handle pivotally secured in the enclosure;
• a retainer substantially surrounding said opening and disposed between said interior side and said housing flange to substantially seal against leakage through the opening to the interior side, said retainer further including a flexible hook portion adapted to releasably secure said handle in said locked position;
• and
• means for operably connecting said handle to said second locking member whereby pivoting of said handle between locking and unlocking positions selectively moves said second locking member between said locked and unlocked positions.

The window of 19, wherein:

• said side walls have aligned openings therethrough;
• and
• said means for operably connecting comprises
• a link operably connected on one end to said second locking member and having a laterally extending shaft on its other end, said shaft being pivotally secured in said aligned openings through said side walls, and
• means for connecting said handle to said shaft for pivoting therewith.
