Abstract
A single point lock or cam lock for a casement window is provided. The lock includes an escutcheon providing a low profile and a smooth uninterrupted surface which faces the inside of the room. The handle includes two opposing legs that enter the escutcheon for attachment to the hook through opposing side walls of the escutcheon. A shaft provides the connection between the hook and the handle which rotates on two brace structures provided by the frame. The frame is sandwiched between the escutcheon and the inside surface of the window frame. The design of the escutcheon, the shaft and the braces of the frame provide for an effective seal against the inside surface of the window frame.
