What is the name of triangle locator part in Window Friction Hinges,

Posted by Ian Munford, on
Friction window hinges have a triangle part at the top that helps locate the window when it is closed. Some of mine need replacing but i a m struggling to find the name of the part to search for a replacement. Can anyone help?

Paul Collins

These hinges are not normally repaired, the whole thing is replaced, easily available from Screwfix etc. Various sizes available, in 2 different thicknesses, 13.5 & 16.5mm. Some 'proper' builders merchants stock them and you could take the old one to match up. Kind regards Paul
