Safer, more secure, and easier to clean!
Pair of wide-opening stainless steel hinges with slide feature that also allows easy cleaning. Suitable for side-hung windows of uPVC, aluminium or wood.

The Defender Egress Easy Clean friction hinge is manufactured by Yale, one of the most respected and trusted home security brands.
DID YOU KNOW? Standard friction hinges allow opening to just 60°, which may not provide adequate space for escape in an emergency situation. However, this 12” hinge allows opening to 80° and the 16” hinge up to 90°.
Egress hinges like these are typically required for bedrooms on the first floor of a house. Building regulations approved document B1 requires that the casement should provide a minimum clear opening of 450mm x 734mm at a maximum sill height of 1.1m, with an unobstructed area that is at least 0.33m². Our 16" Yale Defender Egress Easy Clean friction hinge will provide that opening.
