How to indentify the correct type of friction stay window hinges for your windows.

Step 1:- Identify the required friction stay stack height.

To measure the stack height of an exisiting friction stay.
With the friction stay fully closed so that all of the arms are stacked on top of each other, measure from the bottom arm of the stay to the top arm. This measurement is the stack height.

The standard stack heights for friction stays are 13mm and 17mm.
