Pull in upvc window to seal

It could possibly be that one or both of the hinges are worn. Is the window stiff to close

 

It could probably do with a complete overhaul they are pretty easy to do our host sells all the parts.

Hinges you'll have to measure yours to make

sure there the right size.

Lock mechanism same again measure yours.

Can't find it on screw fix page but here's a link to what else you'll need.

Are the hinges screwed into the frame or are they riveted?

you will need side hung hinges, not top hung.

Take the longest measurement of the hinge, they are normally measures in inches"

you will also need to know the 'stack' height. This measurement is quite hard to take and refers to the total height of the hinge when it is fully close, the stack neigh can be 13-15mm.

Also the width of the hinges, the standard size is usually 16/17mm, but narrower ones at 15mm are available.

 

Hi Jason,
have you tried lubricating the sliding parts of the hinge so that you are absolutely sure they are travelling the full distance and not sticking. I was amazed at the difference it made to mine with a little bit of WD40. It might just be enough and if this is the problem it would be the cheaper and easier option.

 

The Mila ones that were linked earlier are 13mm stack height, but come with small packer to increase it to a 17mm stack height.

Securistlye are a good and popular brand of hinges.

 

They are pretty simple to do just fiddly as you have to take the window out to do the top and bottom hinge. By action I thought you ment the handle. If that's fine I wouldn't bother changing it. you can measure the hinges while there on just measure the full lenght of the bottom piece that's atached to the frame. Thats the way I measure them and I've done like loads.

 

I only linked them to give the op an idea of what he was looking for.

 

The WD40 idea might help temporarily, if the hinge is stiff preventing the back pulling in when closing. Maybe.

Also looks like the green slider on the long arm is broken.

The only accurate way of getting the stack height is to remove the hinge, then close it to determine the size.

if there is a makers stamp or code, it may be possible to source the same hinge saving you having to re drill any holes etc.

 

If you email this lady with a closer picture of the hinge, she will get back to you soon as I have dealt with this company.

Measure the hinge length and mention this on the email, it will be possibly a 14" hinge?

 

Looks like this hinge, judging by the colour.

07 04, will be the month and year of manufacture.

 

If you can have someone hold the window from outside, you can whip off the bottom hinge, measure height, width and length, and whip it back on, all within 2 minutes.
