INTERLOCK SYSTEM SELECTOR
Structural Auto-Selection · Sliding Sash
How it works: Enter opening dimensions and wind load. The system calculates sash size from formulas,
runs structural deflection auto-selection for the active system bucket, and picks the first profile with sufficient inertia Ix.
Calculates Ireqd and auto-selects a profile by Ix within the active system bucket.

No interlock applied yet — use the Calculator tab to auto-select.
How it works: Map each Standard interlock code to its Reverse counterpart. When the Calculator picks a Standard interlock and a sash group is set to Reverse mode, the matching Reverse interlock is automatically added to the assembly list (and its weight to the stock list). Profile weight is read from the Profile Data catalog using the Reverse code.

Standard Code(s): One or more codes separated by
Default seed:
/ or , (e.g. 4327 / 4326). Matching is case-insensitive and substring-based against the picked interlock's code & profile details.Default seed:
4327 / 4326 → 4377, 4328 → NL-4378R, 773659 → 89090.
How it works: End-cap rows are linked by interlock profile/code + system/subsystem + sash type (and optional position), then pushed dynamically into the assembly list with top/bottom QTY multipliers.
