Frequently Asked Questions

Top hung security restricted window hinges are friction stay hinges designed to limit how far a window can open while still allowing controlled ventilation. They help improve both safety and home security.

A 16-inch top hung friction stay hinge is commonly fitted to medium and larger top-opening uPVC or aluminium windows. It provides stable support, smooth operation, and controlled opening movement.

Restricted hinges prevent windows from opening excessively, helping reduce the risk of falls and improving child safety. They also help limit access from outside.

Compatibility depends on the sash size, frame material, hinge dimensions, and overall window design. Always compare your existing hinge measurements before purchasing a replacement.

Choosing the right hinge depends on your window type, opening style, and sash dimensions. If you need help selecting the correct replacement hinge, feel free to contact us for expert advice.
