Restricted uPVC Window Hinge Friction Stay Pair
These are restrictor window hinges which means the hinge has a restriction on how wide it is able to open. These hinges are great in rooms where child safety is a concern. You can override the restrictor by pressing a button whilst pushing the window open, this will allow the window to open fully as a normal window would.
Please note that the top hung variants are restricted on both sides. The side hung hinges are only restricted on one side. To help you work out what position you would like the restricted hinge to be in, please view the image guide in the image gallery.

Measuring The Hinge
Working out what hinge you need can be quite daunting. However, it's quite simple and here's a little guide to help you.
- A. First you need to work out what hang type you need. On the diagram this is marked as A
- B. Now you need to find out how long your hinge is. This is marked as B
- C. The width of these hinges is 18mm
- D. This is the stack height, which can be either 13mm or 17mm. (See universal way below)
A full technical diagram is included in the image gallery.
Stack Height Cap - Universal Hinge Cap
In addition to the above measuring guide we have devised a way to make the measuring more easy for you.
If you are unable to measure the stack height of the hinge then you can purchase some Stack Height Caps.
The caps simply clip on to the hinge and convert the hinge from a 13mm stack to a 17mm stack. Simple purchase a 13mm stack height hinge and the Stack Height Caps from the drop down boxes above.
When you come to change your hinge and you notice it is actually a 17mm stack hinge, simply add the caps to the hinge and install the hinge as normal.

Third Party
I have a front door with I now know is a Millanco117 lock which the handle was turning but not opening the lock. I found GBDIY online (saw Peter Knights review of similar) and decided to call. The man on the phone asked if I am “handy”. I told him I am DIY handy enough and he said give it a go then. He advises me it would probably be the cam which is broken and not the whole lock. So he told me to buy a new cam for about £20 instead of a whole lock for about £150. Amazing cause if he would have told me I needed a lock i wouldn’t know any better myself. So he saved me probably £130 in parts and also gave me a bit of advise about looking out for the ball bearings inside. That gave me the confidence to have a go myself instead of calling a locksmith which would have cost a fortune probably. Really good. Today with the added help of a YouTube video I have fixed the lock and it is all working perfectly now. Thanks so much. Really good. PS. I tried to add photos but it won’t upload - don’t know why. Please pass this message to the GBDIY team as the man on the phone should remember this and it’s good to have some good feedback I hope!

Finding the right part was made easy with the company's very detailed measurements drawing. I was able to tick each measurement off unlike some websites where I was left scratching my head with just two measurements to compare against.
The ordering process was straight forward. I ordered on Friday afternoon and I fitted it on Monday afternoon. That was with just standard postage.
