Just coming back to this, I have been given the following website as a good source of spare parts, some reclaimed parts some brand new by the looks of it and they do ship to the UK Part number 226693 https://fensterbeschlagersatzteil.de/MACO-Schlosskasten-fuer-HS-Getriebe-DM-275-PZ-Raum3R2/7 Part number 226693 (nothing found) Part number 368176 (nothing found) https://fensterbeschlagersatzteil.de/

Hi Jeremy, You can call Maco UK with the relevant part number and they can source it for you or alternatively, contact one of the agents for them (Katzbeck) in the UK who would be able to help (you were obviously able to remove and identify, I'm assuming you'd be OK with exchanging). It would be the cheaper option sourcing yourself (if in stock in the UK).

Ask if marine environment suitable, ask the micron level of the powder coating, is the aluminium preanodised or not. What is the weather performance test cert advising, hardware look for class 5. Secondly, marine environment, clean and grease your hardware and take/pay for any maintenance packages. Your hardware is going to perish, not a case of if, it will perish. So it is important to clean it and grease it. Inward and outward are suitable but depending on how exposed and quality of product.

I'd go anywhere from 2250mm to 2400mm (the latter being the average standard ceiling height), 2100mm is the standard door height.

Take them off, are there any part numbers to identify? I’m not 100% certain of the system.

Pas24 security in dwellings is all about the length of time it takes an attacker to circumvent/defeat the security, just the same as RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4 etc. It is becoming standard and it will become an insurance aspect (if it isn't already) for new homes, to prevent them having to pay out.

Do you see what I see? Installed in 1984/5 and there is no stub cill in sight, installed as they should be and front drained on the existing stone cill 👏👏👏👏

They are Gutmann designed windows, they're a decent product and I don't have a bad thing to say about Gutmann.

No, 25mm is a big gap to fill using PU foam, it expands and fills the void and is airtight as well and the time it takes to foam this versus using TP654.

Yes. It's how that gap is dealt with, it's a lot of PU foam and you'll probably be cheaper going with a product such as illbruck TP654.

Airtightness products are not a cheap option but you are installing good windows and doors, not spending the money on the i3 Illbruck around the window in my opinion would be the wrong decision. We are also adding a fourth to our installs now and that is ME501 VV 140mm externally. I'm not a fan of face fixing but it is fine to do it, I'd much rather it was on the sides and pinched in the corners. Why face fix? Side fixing means it gets in the way and it is easier to face fix after the window is added to the opening (in my view a lazy way).

Perfect and correct tolerance in most scenarios, 10mm with a cranked bracket is standard, especially when sitting behind the ingo/check reveal. If between the block/brick then you’re looking for 5mm and not 10mm but the detail here is important as 10mm might be best. The problem is the nozzle for the gun is 5mm.

It would be but dependant on the quantity and time to do the work, it might be feasible (probably not to be honest but there's no harm in checking).

Installer wise, give Dynafit a call.

Fantastic. Hope we're doing well. Don't be scared to tell us where we are and if there is something we need to do etc. Always ask, generally there things we can do, sometimes it's a case of sorry. You should be able to get a Scheme B which from memory is lift and slide centre, one fixed either side in timber aluminium. A double track system is usually offered system designer (Siegenia, Maco, GU etc.) however most manufacturers do not offer it. It is available in aluminium only, check if that's an option. That is a fantastic question @Alan Ambrose and one I would really like to answer in depth at some point but a basic answer is this. Those at the higher end of the price point are at that price point for a reason, those at the lowest end / middle are also there for a reason. However, triple gaskets can supply a better weather tightness results v's one gasket. Outward opening with one single gasket might have a similar or better result based on the nature of how the pressure is applied.
