Casement Operator and Hinges required

Question

Hello Swisco,

I beleive the operator is the 39-188.
Trying to identify the proper bottom hinge . This casement window opens 90? at the stop, the main track is 12" long x approx 3/4" wide (I had to ask the out of state homeowner to measure for me, hence the yellow ruler)

Thank You,
Frank S.

Hello, Frank! I agree, our 39-188 looks like a great match for your existing operator. As for the hinge, looks like you have a 4-bar style. With a 12" long track you have two options: either the 36-022 standard duty or the 36-022HD heavy duty, which is designed for heavier steel and wood or commercial windows grade windows. Given that your window is vinyl, then you should be okay with the 36-022, unless you have hurricane grade glass or the like.

When replacing these, make sure to replace the top and bottom at the same time. You never want to mix old and new hinges.
