Environmental Constraints 2.2.1 Normal operating conditions for all hinges are:
2.2.1.1 Operating temperature range -20°C to +60°C 2.2.1.2 Operating humidity range 10% Relative Humidity to 95% Relative Humidity
2.2.2 The materials used will not degrade due to ultra violet light, or when using neutral acidity non
solvent cleaning chemicals, at a rate faster than other parts of the window assembly. However, the practice of cleaning brickwork with acidic based products will have serious effects if allowed to come into contact with hardware. Corrosion or failure of hardware as a result of this practice will not be covered by the warranty issued on such products. For further advice on procedures for protecting the window during this operation, please contact the window manufacturer or hardware supplier.
Maintenance and Lubrication 2.2.3 As with most mechanical devices, Restrictor Stays require periodic maintenance and
lubrication. The hinge in general and particularly the pivots, sliding shoe and track must be kept free from dirt, debris and any obstructions at all times.
2.2.3.1 At Time of Installation - Lubricate all pivot points with light machine oil and wipe
away excess, one drop per pivot is sufficient. We suggest one of the following lubricants or equivalent:
a. General light engineering oil with corrosion inhibitors such as Castrol Everyman or 3 in 1 oil (available in aerosol can for convenience).
Note: Solvent based aerosol sprays e.g. WD40 are not suitable for this application.
2.2.3.2 Every Five Years - Carry out the following checks every five years:
a. Clean any dirt or debris from the hinge and clear any obstructions from the pivots, sliding shoe and track.
b. Apply lubrication as detailed in 2.2.4.1 above.
c. Check the tightness and security of all fixing screws and rivets.
Operating Life 2.2.4 To attain optimum operating life all criteria listed above under; environmental constraints, and
maintenance and lubrication must be adhered to. 2.2.5 All Restrictor Stays will function normally for up to 30,000 cycles under normal conditions of
use. This performance is subject to compliance with SECURISTYLE® installation and maintenance instructions.

Corrosion Resistance 2.2.6 When subjected to neutral salt spray test to BS 7479: 1991 / ISO 9227: 1990 the hinge
remains functional. There is no significant surface pitting caused by corrosion. Some surface discolouration is to be expected.
2.2.7 If a hinge is fitted in an area where it is exposed to a corrosive atmosphere, e.g. salt laden
sea air in coastal locations, we recommended that in addition to the general maintenance and lubrication: 2.2.7.1 All metal surfaces are lightly coated with lubrication oil or sprayed with a
proprietary anticorrosion spray. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any products used.
2.2.7.2 Maintenance operations may need to be carried out more frequently. This is
dependent on the severity of the prevailing conditions.

1. Application General: 1.1 On large Commercial Top hung windows, due to large gust/shock loads and large heavy
windows, weather seal can be lost due to bowing of the actual window. The commercial pull in block assembly is a recent development from Securistyle Ltd to help ensure an effective weather seal is kept and maintained by preventing bowing. The reduction of bow in the window will also help to reduce the additional stress caused to the hinges.
1. 2 The Commercial pull in blocks have been specifically designed to work well and
successfully with both the Sterling and Storm Balanced hinge range. The pull in blocks, are designed to be fitted to a window at any time throughout its life due to them being a retro-fit design. The adjustability of the pull in block assembly exists to suit the application.
Operation: 1. 3 When fitted to a new window that hasn’t had any wind deformation or bowing, then the pull
in blocks are to be set to a position where the fixed and adjustable parts are just clear of each other. See Fig. 1.
Fig. 1
1.4 When fitting to a window that is older and/or has slight bowing, the pull in blocks should be fitted so that during the opening and closing operation of the window there is definite contact between the fixed and adjustable parts. See Fig. 2.
