Product Information
Full details
This Diall Casement Stay is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts needing to reliably support and position left-handed casement windows or flaps. Its key benefit is providing stable positioning in both open and closed states, ensuring secure window operation. A caveat to note is its specific left-handed configuration, meaning it is not suitable for right-handed applications. The stay is constructed from durable nickel-plated steel, offering a silver finish and 150mm length for effective window support.

FAQs
Is this stay suitable for right-handed windows?
No, this stay is specifically designed for left-handed casement windows only. For right-handed windows, you would need a corresponding right-handed stay.
What material is the stay made of?
The stay is made from nickel-plated steel, providing durability and a silver finish.
What is the length of the stay?
The stay is 150mm in length.
Does it come with screws for installation?
Screws are typically not included as the type and length required can vary depending on the window material and frame.
How do I determine if my window is left-handed?
When standing inside and looking at your casement window, if it opens outwards or inwards from the left side, it is a left-handed window.
Can this stay be used on doors?
It is primarily designed for casement windows, but could potentially be used on small, lightweight left-handed flaps or doors where similar positioning support is needed.
Troubleshooting
Stay is loose or wobbly.
Ensure all screws are tightened securely into the frame and sash. Check for any wear on the pivot point and consider replacement if damaged.
Window does not stay in position.
Verify that the stay is fully extended or locked into its intended holding position. Check for obstructions or damage along the stay's locking mechanism.
Stay is difficult to open or close.
Check for any paint or debris obstructing the movement of the stay. Ensure the window frame and sash are not warped, causing interference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, position the stay on the window frame and sash according to your desired opening angle. Mark the screw holes and pre-drill if necessary. Secure the stay using appropriate screws (ensure they are suitable for your window material). The stay should pivot smoothly and lock into position when opened.
Compatibility: This stay is specifically designed for *left-handed* casement windows. Ensure your window opens from left to right when viewed from the inside, with the hinges on the left.
Care: Clean the stay periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the nickel plating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth.
