1992 Windows - metal starting to bend/windows won't open/shut

Question

Hello - unsure who made our windows (4th owner of house) - these are double paned and may be gas filled.

High winds nearly blew out an open windows frame, and realizing many of the mechanisms and seals may have to be replaced in the 20+ window frames after 32 years.

Can you help us identify all the parts that connect the window including the cranks, handles, inside and outside brackets, and top and bottom brackets?

Looks like we have to replace:
- a top and bottom Truth 40664 (is this part of your bracket set?)
- new dual arm operator Truth EntryGard 30841L (need right and lefts - multiple windows)
- stud brackets
- operator track bracket
- Rubber seal mounts

We also have one frame on the window that has water damage - how/where would we get this replaced? Any idea who made this original window?

Thanks for reaching out to us! Your operator resembles our 39-031 EntryGard Dual-Arm Operator (the opposite handed version is part 39-032). These operators are compatible with the 39-107 cover along with the 39-114L non-folding or 39-205 folding crank handles. Another replacement option is the 39-107FK , which is a folding crank and cover kit.

The bracket connecting the link arm to the bottom of the swinging sash is the 39-516 Clip-Stud Bracket; the right handed bracket is the 39-517.

If you are looking to replace the track, you'll need the 39-505.

The parts you are referring to as brackets at the top and bottom of the window are the hinges. I believe you may be able to use the 36-048 but you'll need to confirm the measurement for the length of your track sill. These hinges can be used for the top and bottom of the window, on the right and left hand side.

Keep in mind, there is a likelihood that the dimensions may not be an exact match and you may need to drill new holes in the frame. Given there is damage to the framing, you should exercise caution so that you don't damage it further.

You'll need to reach out to a local window repair shop to see what your options might be to repair the framing. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to identify the manufacturer based on the hardware.
