Description
MACO 22mm R.A.I.L Inline 200mm Espagnolette Window Lock (GR1) MA202699
The MACO R.A.I.L. 22mm Inline Espagnolette Window Lock – 200mm GR1 (MA202699) is a high-quality reverse-action inline locking mechanism designed for modern uPVC, PVCu, aluminium and timber window applications incorporating a suitable Eurogroove profile. Manufactured by MACO, one of the leading names in window and door hardware, the R.A.I.L. system combines a compact design with robust multi-point locking performance.
With a 22mm backset, 200mm overall length and 7.7mm mushroom locking cam, this Grade 1 espagnolette is particularly suited to smaller window sashes with a rebate size of approximately 200–400mm. Its inline configuration makes it an excellent replacement or upgrade for compatible existing window locking mechanisms.
Reverse-Action R.A.I.L. Locking System
The MACO R.A.I.L. system – meaning Reverse Action Inline Locking – uses a distinctive locking action designed to draw the locking cam towards the centre of the striker rather than simply pushing the locking points into position.
The 200mm version features a twin-drive locking arrangement with adjustable mushroom cam technology, allowing the opposing locking points to clamp securely against the corresponding striker plate. This helps provide strong resistance against attempts to separate or jemmy the window sash.
The mushroom-style locking cam is designed to work with MACO's existing range of compatible striker plates, making the R.A.I.L. system suitable for a wide variety of window profiles.
22mm Backset – 200mm Length
This particular model is supplied with a 22mm backset and a 200mm rail length, making it important to check the dimensions of your existing window lock before ordering.
The backset is measured from the centre of the handle spindle/follower to the front edge of the faceplate. The R.A.I.L. range is also available in other lengths and backset configurations, so accurate measurement is essential when replacing an existing espagnolette mechanism.
The 200mm GR1 version is designed for window sash rebate sizes in the region of 200–400mm.
High-Security Mushroom Cam
The MACO R.A.I.L. lock incorporates a 7.7mm mushroom locking cam. The mushroom profile is designed to engage with the corresponding striker plate and provide a positive clamping action when the window is operated.
The adjustable cam arrangement also allows the compression between the sash and frame to be fine-tuned, helping maintain a secure and consistent window closure.
This can be particularly useful where minor seasonal movement or changes in gasket compression affect the operation of the window.
Suitable for Eurogroove Profiles
The MACO R.A.I.L. inline espagnolette is designed for use with standard and shallow Eurogroove window profiles, making it suitable for a wide range of compatible window systems.
Its slim 16mm faceplate and compact lockcase design allow it to sit neatly within the window profile while providing a robust internal locking mechanism.
The symmetrical inline design also helps simplify fabrication and replacement work, with no requirement to crop the mechanism or add extensions.
Smooth and Reliable Operation
The R.A.I.L. mechanism is operated through a standard espagnolette window handle using the conventional 43mm fixing centre and 7mm square spindle arrangement.
When the handle is turned, the internal gearing drives the locking mechanism, engaging the mushroom cam with the appropriate striker plate. This provides positive multi-point engagement while maintaining smooth day-to-day operation.
The mechanism is designed for reliable use in both domestic and commercial window applications.
Durable MACO Construction
MACO R.A.I.L. locking components are manufactured using robust materials designed to withstand the demands of regular window operation.
The system incorporates a steel faceplate, machine-steel locking components and a die-cast lockcase, with a protective finish designed to provide good resistance against corrosion and environmental exposure.
The R.A.I.L. range is available with MACO's protective Silverlook-Evo finish, which incorporates self-healing and self-lubricating nano-capsule technology and has been tested for corrosion resistance.
Ideal for Replacement Window Repairs
The MACO MA202699 is an excellent choice when replacing a worn, damaged or faulty inline espagnolette mechanism.
Common symptoms that may indicate an existing window espag requires replacement include:
-
Difficulty turning the window handle
-
Stiff or rough locking operation
-
Locking cams failing to engage correctly
-
A window that will not close securely
-
Damaged or worn internal gearing
-
Broken or damaged locking components
-
Excessive movement in the handle
-
A failed or seized locking mechanism
Replacing the complete espagnolette mechanism can restore the smooth operation and reliable locking function of a compatible window without necessarily requiring replacement of the complete window.
Important Measurement Information
Before ordering, always compare the dimensions of the existing window lock with the specifications of the MACO MA202699.
Key measurements to check include:
Backset: 22mm
Overall length: 200mm
Faceplate width: 16mm
Cam type: 7.7mm mushroom cam
Handle fixing centres: 43mm
Spindle: 7mm square
Configuration: Inline / Reverse Action

The backset should be measured from the centre of the spindle hole to the front edge of the faceplate. Correct identification of the existing mechanism is essential to ensure the replacement fits correctly.
