FAQs

Are these casement stays lockable?

No, these are non-lockable casement stays, designed for ventilation and ease of use rather than security.

What material are these stays made from?

They are crafted from high-quality polished brass.

What is the length of the casement stay?

The casement stays measure 250mm in length.

Can I use these on uPVC windows?

Yes, they can be used on uPVC windows, provided you use appropriate screws designed for uPVC.

How do I clean the polished brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, use a non-abrasive brass cleaner and ensure the surface is dried afterward.

Do these stays come with screws?

Screws are typically not included, as the type of screw needed can vary depending on the window frame material (wood, uPVC, etc.). Please ensure you use the correct fixings for your installation.

What is the primary benefit of the non-lockable design?

The non-lockable design allows for quick and easy adjustment of the window opening for optimal ventilation and light control without the hassle of a locking mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Stay is stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any obstructions or debris. Ensure screws are not overtightened, which can restrict movement. A light application of a dry lubricant might help.

Window does not stay open at desired position.

Verify that the stay is correctly installed and fully engaged. Ensure the window sash and frame are not warped, which could affect the stay's grip.

Polished brass finish is tarnishing.

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and a dedicated brass polish. Ensure the area is dry after cleaning. Consider applying a protective lacquer if tarnish is a persistent issue.

Screws feel loose.

Gently tighten the screws. If the screw holes are stripped, consider using larger screws or wood filler for a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Positioning: Determine the desired opening range for your casement window.
  2. Marking: Hold the stay against the window frame and sash, marking the screw hole positions.
  3. Drilling: Pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, especially in harder wood.
  4. Attachment: Secure the stay to the window frame and sash using appropriate screws (not included).

Compatibility:

These casement stays are compatible with standard casement windows that open outwards. They are designed for timber or uPVC frames, provided the correct fixings are used. Measure your existing stay or window opening to ensure the 250mm length is suitable.

Care:

To maintain the polished brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive brass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. Periodically check that screws remain tight.
