Aluminium window part missing

[HHboxmoor]

Hello.

I have an outward sliding uPVC window with aluminium fittings.

The part that is missing holds the sliding arm in place. So the window is always hanging in a skewed position when open.

The first image show the part I am looking for.

The second image show the bottom of the window, where I still have the part in place. The third image shows where the part fits on the top of the window.

Any ideas what that is called and where to find a replacement?

Thanks!

Just buy a new hinge

Egress easy clean stay hinge. The part in question is essentially a push button that allows you to slide the window along to one side when the top and bottom are engaged and you pull the top/bottom along. It's so you can clean the windows from the inside.

 

The manufacturer should be stamped on it with part number but if not, you might be able to find the long-stay hinge online but I'd contact a local repair company so that they can do it for you (looking at picturs, it would be the best option).
