Restricted uPVC Window Hinge Friction Stay Pair
These are restrictor window hinges which means the hinge has a restriction on how wide it is able to open. These hinges are great in rooms where child safety is a concern. You can override the restrictor by pressing a button whilst pushing the window open, this will allow the window to open fully as a normal window would.
Please note that the top hung variants are restricted on both sides. The side hung hinges are only restricted on one side. To help you work out what position you would like the restricted hinge to be in, please view the image guide in the image gallery.

Measuring The Hinge
Working out what hinge you need can be quite daunting. However, it's quite simple and here's a little guide to help you.
A. First you need to work out what hang type you need. On the diagram this is marked as A
B. Now you need to find out how long your hinge is. This is marked as B
C. The width of these hinges is 18mm
D. This is the stack height, which can be either 13mm or 17mm. (See universal way below)
A full technical diagram is included in the image gallery.
Stack Height Cap - Universal Hinge Cap
In addition to the above measuring guide we have devised a way to make the measuring more easy for you.
If you are unable to measure the stack height of the hinge then you can purchase some Stack Height Caps.
The caps simply clip on to the hinge and convert the hinge from a 13mm stack to a 17mm stack. Simple purchase a 13mm stack height hinge and the Stack Height Caps from the drop down boxes above.
When you come to change your hinge and you notice it is actually a 17mm stack hinge, simply add the caps to the hinge and install the hinge as normal.
