Qingdao Gleam Hardwares supplies a window hardware friction stay hinge range for importers, window-system distributors, fabricators and project buyers. This family page is for drawing- or sample-based selection across common aluminium and uPVC casement-window requirements. It is not a promise that one hinge fits every sash or profile.
Use this page when you need to compare nominal sizes, closed stack height, track width, mounting pattern, opening arrangement and material requirements before a model is approved. For the recorded 12-inch, 2-bar, 22 mm-track configuration, use the separate 12-inch window friction stay product page.
Friction Stay Hinge Range: What to Specify
| Selection field | Common enquiry reference | Approval requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal size | 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 inch labels are common enquiry references | Confirm actual closed track length, travel and tolerance in millimetres; nominal labels are not universal dimensions. |
| Closed stack height | 13, 15 and 17 mm occur as common industry references | Measure the specified reference surfaces and match the available profile clearance. |
| Track and fixing | Track width, hole centres, slots and fastener type vary by series | Provide a profile section, dimensional drawing or original sample. Approve the fixing surface and clearances. |
| Opening configuration | Top-hung or side-hung; multi-bar linkage according to the selected family | State handing, target opening position and any restricted, easy-clean or egress requirement for separate review. |
| Sash conditions | Window material, sash width, height, weight and glazing build-up | No generic load rating is assigned on this family page. Use only the limit confirmed for the selected assembly and installation. |
| Material and environment | Stainless-steel construction; grade, finish and evidence by project | Specify alloy, corrosion test, traceability or destination standard when required. A photo cannot verify grade or performance. |
| Supply program | Mixed size lists, neutral packing or authorized private-label requirements can be reviewed | Confirm model list, quantity, sample terms, carton marks, artwork authorization and destination before quotation. |
All listed dimensions are common selection references, not confirmed specifications for every model. Only the final quotation, revision-controlled drawing, approved sample and purchase specification define the supplied hinge.
General OEM Range vs. the 12-Inch 22 mm Product
This page and product 6551 serve different buying intentions. Keep the pages separate because the buyer should reach the right level of specification instead of seeing two near-duplicate listings:
- This family page: comparison and OEM matching across common nominal sizes, stack heights, mounting layouts and top- or side-hung applications.
- Product 6551: a specific recorded enquiry for a 12-inch 2-bar support stay with a 22 mm track/base.
A buyer who already knows the 12-inch and 22 mm fields should use the specific page. A buyer replacing an unknown hinge, developing a new profile or sourcing several sizes should start here and send the full measurement set.
Information Needed for Window-System Compatibility
- Profile data: frame and sash section, groove width, fixing surface and closed clearance.
- Existing hinge: nominal label, actual track length, track width, closed stack height, hole centres and clear photos with a scale.
- Sash data: overall width, height, installed weight, glazing build-up and operating frequency.
- Opening arrangement: top-hung or side-hung, handing where relevant, target opening position and any special function.
- Technical requirement: requested stainless-steel grade and finish plus any named cycle, corrosion, load or market standard.
- Commercial requirement: model quantities, trial or annual demand, labeling, packaging and destination.
B2B Value: Protect Margin Through Controlled Model Approval
For importers, window brands, fabricators and replacement-hardware distributors, an incorrect stay can create installation delays, returned stock and service claims that cost more than the component. A drawing- and sample-based approval process helps convert a broad request into a repeatable purchasing reference.
- Reduce mismatched inventory: record nominal size, actual track dimensions, stack height, handing and revision as separate fields.
- Compare quotations fairly: ask suppliers to quote the same material, geometry, inspection and packing basis.
- Support repeat orders: retain an approved sample and controlled drawing for each buyer or window-system reference.
- Improve warehouse accuracy: use model, handing and pair identification on labels and cartons to separate similar variants.
- Prepare market-ready supply: align neutral or authorized private-label packing with order quantity and destination requirements before production.
Inspection and Sample Approval Points
A project inspection plan can cover dimensions and tolerances, visual finish, material verification, pivot and rivet condition, track movement, opening geometry, hole pattern, fastener fit, packing and sampling level. Where cycle life, corrosion resistance, sash load, security, egress or another regulated function matters, name the exact test method and acceptance criterion. No cycle count, salt-spray duration, security class, egress status or universal sash rating is implied by this page.
Window Hardware Friction Stay Hinge FAQ
Does the nominal inch size equal the exact track length?
Not necessarily. Treat 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 inches as common enquiry labels. Confirm the actual track length, travel, hole centres and tolerance on the drawing.
Can a 13 mm, 15 mm or 17 mm stack height fit the same profile?
No universal interchangeability should be assumed. Measure the available closed clearance and the reference surfaces used for the stack-height value.
Can one friction stay work for both top-hung and side-hung windows?
Suitability depends on the selected linkage, handing, profile, sash dimensions, weight, glazing and opening requirement. Submit the full application for review.
What load can the hinge carry?
This family page does not assign a generic load. Capacity belongs to the exact stay pair, sash geometry, fixing and test basis. Use only the limit confirmed for the approved model and installation.
Is every option SUS 304 stainless steel?
No grade is universal on this range page. State the required alloy and finish and obtain written confirmation, including the agreed evidence or test when applicable.
Can you match an existing hinge from a sample?
Yes, sample-based review can identify the fields required for a comparable quotation. Production feasibility, exact construction, minimum order, timing and sample terms are confirmed after technical review.
Can different sizes be packed under our brand?
Neutral or authorized private-label packing can be reviewed after the size list, quantities, carton identification, artwork rights and destination requirements are known.
