Fenestration lock assemblies, fenestration units including the lock assemblies, and methods of operating the lock assemblies. The lock assemblies offer a lock assembly construction that is capable of being assembled, installed, and used in a purely manual mode (i.e., in the absence of any driving unit such as, e.g., a motor, solenoid, etc.) or that may be assembled, installed, and used with a driving unit such that the lock assembly can be operated manually or in a driven mode, with the manual and driven modes of operation being unaffected by each other.

Selectively filled hollow profiles and methods of preparing hollow profiles for joining operations
Embodiments herein relate to hollow profiles and methods of preparing the same for joining operations. A method herein can include placing a dam within a channel defined by the hollow profile, fitting a die block over an end of the channel, and injecting a flowable composition through an injection port into the channel. Another method can include defining a volume within a first member using at least one flow control device, filling the defined volume with a flowable polymeric composition, allowing the flowable polymeric composition to solidify to form a solid portion in the first member, and mechanically modifying the solid portion to define a joining surface suitable for joining to the second member. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Another method can include defining a volume within a first member using at least one flow control device, filling the defined volume with a flowable polymeric composition, allowing the flowable polymeric composition to solidify to fomi a solid portion in the first member, and mechanically modifying the solid portion to define a joining surface suitable for joining to the second member. Other embodiments are also included herein.
Embodiments herein relate to methods for attachment of a retention member to an insulating glazing unit, resulting structures, and systems for the accomplishing the same. In some embodiments, a method of attaching a retention member to an insulating glazing unit can include placing a spacer unit between a first pane of glass and a second pane of glass to form the insulating glazing unit and applying an adhesive composition to at least one of a perimeter of the insulating glazing unit and the retention member. The method can further include mounting the retention member onto perimeter edges of at least one of the first pane and the second pane. Other embodiments are also included herein.
