Upvc Window Hinges Friction Stay. 10" Low Stack 13Mm. Top Hung.

Fácil colocación, robusta, buena calidad-precio, estoy contenta

Used this to replace a broken hinge. The units were not exactly the same. Had to drill some extra holes in the metal and uPVC windows do not like having screws taken in and out i.e. lose three purchase of the screw in the soft plastic. Anyhow it effected a 90% repair on the small window which is now fully serviceable. Without this hinge I would have had to buy a whole new window!

To be fair, the description does say 13mm, so this is passing on my experience. I had assumed that 13mm was the common type, so I didn't give it much thought. However, when I took the window out, I found that the window attachment was thicker than the equivalent bar on these hinges - I actually needed a 17mm stack hinge. (and I couldn't have easily seen this before extracting the window!). With a hole where my window had been, I dashed down to Screwfix and bought an equivalent hinge set which also had a set of plastic packers to give me the 17mm i needed). The spacers couldn't cost more than a couple of pence, so it was disappointing they aren't included in this product.In summary, if you are sure you need a 13mm stack height, these will be fine. If you want to cover your options, go for a set that gives you the spacers to pack it out to 17mm if you have to.

Great set of hinges very well made and easy to fit and quality steel, I needed my wife to hold the window in place whiIst I fixed the first screws to the frame and that's only because I have a shoulder problem. window out cleaned and refitted in 20 minutes. I live on the beach so I always smear vazaline or grease over all the moving parts. This will give many more years of salt free use. I totally recommend this item

Feel like good replacement hinges and were simple enough to swap over with the old ones. Just a little note for novice DIYers like me, a bit of thought is needed to fix them in a slightly different position than the original ones. 4 stars as would have been 5 if they came with new screw fixings but overall very pleased.
