What's in the pack?
1 x Pair Fire Egress Side Hung Friction Window Hinges
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 showing where the hinge length measurements are taken from.
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.

Excellent replacement hinges
Very smooth hinges, compatible with Planet uPVC windows. The holes are in a different place so fresh fittings can be installed. Opens wide for escape use.

Fixed my window
Had a window which had a gap when closed. Was able to find the correct (egress) type hinge at JCP easily and pleasantly surprised that deliver to Northern Ireland was free. Item arrived quickly and fitted correctly to the frame. Action is much smoother than old hinge and there is no gap now so no draughts and a quieter room. Time will tell how this one wears but does seem decent quality. Was able to fit in around an hr and a half as a fussy DIY'er. Would use again.
