Can I use this on UPVC windows?
This lift is primarily designed for timber sash windows; it may not be suitable for the thin profiles of UPVC frames.
Are the screws included?

What is the weight of the sash lift?
The sash lift weighs 60 grams.
How do I clean the finish?

What are the dimensions of the mounting plate?

Troubleshooting
The sash lift feels loose after installation.
Ensure the pilot holes were not drilled too wide; if the screws still do not bite, use slightly thicker screws or wood filler in the holes before re-securing.
Difficulty turning the slotted screws.
Use a screwdriver with a flat blade that fits the slot precisely to avoid cam-out or damaging the screw head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure you have a screwdriver that matches the slotted wood screws provided. Always pre-drill pilot holes into your timber sash to prevent the wood from splitting, especially when working on historic joinery. Position the lift centrally on the bottom rail for even weight distribution. For care, simply wipe down the white surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the finish and expose the underlying material to moisture or oxidation.
