This UPVCSTORE Universal Window Hinge Kit is designed to support a maximum sash weight of 22kg.
The hinge allows for an opening angle of 88 degrees.
No, this is a non-handed universal hinge, meaning it can be installed on both left-hand and right-hand opening windows.
The hinge has a 13mm stack height and comes with 17mm universal stackers. It is crucial to verify this matches your existing uPVC window profile for proper fit and function.
The hinge is manufactured from Ferretic stainless steel, specifically Grade 430.
This hinge is guaranteed for 10 years from the manufacturer, UPVCSTORE.
Clean periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Silicone-based lubricant can be used for smooth operation. Ensure no debris obstructs the moving parts.
Check for any obstructions or debris around the hinge mechanism. Ensure screws are not overtightened. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.
Verify that the hinge stack height and stackers (13mm/17mm) are correctly installed and compatible with the uPVC profile. Ensure the sash weight does not exceed the 22kg limit. Realign the hinge if necessary.
Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments can affect the finish. Clean the hinge with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents. For minor surface rust, a specialized stainless steel cleaner may be used sparingly.
The kit includes standard fixing screws. If your existing frame has non-standard holes, you may need to use alternative fixings suitable for your specific uPVC profile. Ensure these new fixings are corrosion-resistant.
Compatibility Check: Before installation, carefully measure the stack height of your existing hinges. This UPVCSTORE hinge features a 13mm stack height with 17mm universal stackers. Ensure this matches your current window profile to guarantee a proper fit and seal. The hinge is designed for side-hung uPVC windows.

Care Instructions:
To maintain performance and longevity, clean the hinges periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the stainless steel finish. Check for any debris or obstructions around the moving parts and clear them as needed. Occasional lubrication with a silicone-based spray can help ensure smooth operation, especially in environments prone to dust or salt.
