Egress Friction Hinge
The Egress Friction Hinge allows specifiers and fabricators to conform to BS 5588, Part 1: 1990 and satisfies Building regulations which demand a clear opening for emergency egress.

Designed and manufactured for accuracy and precision in action, the Egress hinge quickly provides the minimum required opening of 500mm wide by 850mm high with a simple one-handed operation.

Safer and Easier to Clean Windows - Automatically
With the Easy clean Egress Hinge, cleaning the outside of the windows is much safer and easier. With no awkward catches or buttons, the simple action of opening the window to its fullest extent at 90° releases both top and bottom mechanisms. In this position, the window is safe, and can be eased along the tract to facilitate cleaning of the outside surface. While cleaning, the hinge remains safe and stable due to a design feature that locks the two sliding mechanisms.

Wear-Resistant Action
Manufactured from hard-wearing stainless steel, the Egress Hinge offers excellent load bearing characteristics. The friction slide is made from high strength glass-filled nylon and fitted with an adjustable brass resistance screw. For side-hung windows, a rivetted-on riser block makes closing much easier. The Hinge has a durable, smooth action which is aided by a waterproof lubricant added to each pivot point during manufacture.
