Need 3 Window hinges 90402

Home Owner from Lake CIty MN
We have more than 20 windows with Truth Tool hines.
The hinges that rusted out completely are on the bottom of the small windows 38"(h)X26"(w). From the inside (crank side) of window where the window cranks out - the left side on these 3 is affixed to the frame - the right side of the window opens out.
The hinge that screws to the window frame has 4 screws and is
7 3/4' long. Pivoting off of it is the bar with the clip on the end that affixes to the the other hinge bracket that is screwed to the lower part of the window frame (that bracket post is fine and will accept the bar with the clip on it.
I have called Truth tool 3 times and left my name and phone number once - never heard a response.
We have lived in this home for 23 years and all of the other windows hinges are fine and operable.

I am hopeful of finding 3 of these to replace what has deteriorated. There are 19 windows that crank out - the others are ok good.

Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you but we would need to start by seeing photos of one of your original hinges. That will help us narrow down your replacement options. Thank you.

Surprised you didn't seem to have the number that stamped on the good casement window brackets I described in detail that you could have shot me a pic for my response yes or no.

One of these is what's left of part of the bracket that died. A second one also died and the third one that's showing rust is pictured.

Thanks for your work on this!

Thanks for getting back to us. Unforutnately, we are not able to cross reference manufacturer numbers to our products but the part shown in your photos resembles the 36-048 hinge set. Take a look and confirm that the 10" base that attaches to the sill matches yours. Also, note that the hinge set comes with one top and one bottom hinge that can be used on left or right-opening windows.

Thanks

36-048 measures and looks like the one - left one shown in picture with pair.

Oddly enough none of the rusted out ones are right picture ones.

And they are located on three different side of our home - meaning 1 facing east - 1 facing west - 1 facing north. All 3 are above ground but on lower level of our place.

Thanks

The 36-048 comes with top and bottom hinges that can be used on either side, so you should be good to go as long as you replace both hinges at the same time.
