A tilt lock arrangement is provided for a sash slideably/pivotally positioned in a window frame. The tilt lock arrangement includes a window jamb liner made of extruded structural material defining an elongated channel with strips of resilient material adhered to the structural material inside the channel. A sash support is configured to operably slide within the channel proximate the resilient material. A tilt lock member is fixedly secured to the sash and includes a shaft rotatably engaging the sash support, together with a disk-shaped end having flattened sides. The flattened sides define a dimension small enough to allow the tilt lock member and sash support to slide along the channel. However, the disk-shaped end has a diameter large enough to bindingly engage theresilient material on the opposing sides of the channel when the tilt lock member is rotated. Thus, when the sash is tilted, i.e. pivoted away from the window frame such as for cleaning, the tilt lock member is also forcibly rotated and bindingly engages the resilient material in the window jamb liner channel to prevent translational movement of the sash. However, the resilient material has a memory such that when the sash is pivoted back to the unlocked slideable position, the resilient material substantially returns to its original shape and is not permanently deformed.
