AmesburyTruth™ Launches Pinnacle ™
Pinnacle ™ Block & Tackle Balance
Revolutionary Design, Reliable Performance
AmesburyTruth is excited to introduce Pinnacle ™, their new inverted block & tackle balance! This cutting-edge technology features a patented pawl lock function that provides immediate and reliable locking engagement. The innovative design allows the pivot bar to directly connect into the balance providing a strong interface that can also aid in increased window load ratings. The universal application offers a more forgiving manufacturing tolerance that can be used across most window profiles. This non-traditional approach to design will have you taking a second look at your window hardware and overall window design.
