How should I measure my hinges?

A: First you need to establish the hanging type , do you require a top or side hung hinge? (N. B. These hinges are available in side hung only)

B: Then you need to take your first measurement - this is the actual length of the hinge. You will need to measure the part that fixes to the window frame (not sash), please see the diagram below showing where the hinge length measurements are taken from. Hinges come in the following sizes: 12 or 16 inches long.

C: The second measurement is that of the hinge width i.e. the width of the metal part that fixes to the outer frame. (Almost all window hinges will measure 18mm in width, but with windows that are very old the measurement could be 14mm and if this is the case this hinge will not unfortunately, fit.)

D: The final measurement that you need is the Stack Height, this measurement is the height of the hinge when closed, please see diagram. Stack heights come in two sizes 13mm or 17mm, so even if you are unsure you can usually calculate which is correct because of the 4mm difference.

At present what are the requirements laid down by the Buildings Regulations concerning egress windows?

The window should have an unobstructed openable area that is at least 0.33m2 and at least 450mm high and 450mm wide (the route through the window may be at an angle rather than straight through). The bottom of the opening area should not be more than 1100mm above the floor.
