Replacement Truth Hinges for Vinyl Casement Windows

Home Owner from Pittsburgh, PA

Hello,

I have existing vinyl casement windows. The hinges on the bottom of the windows is corroded and needs replaced (both right and left side). The original hardware is stamped with the Truth logo. Please refer to photos and advise of part number, price, and availability of replacement hardware. The length of the hinge mounted on the underside of the window is 8", the length of the hinge mounted to the inside of the window frame is 10-5/8". In total, I require four sets of hardware (2 bottom left + 2 bottom right). My intention is to purchase new hinges and replace them myself.

Thank you in advance.

Hey Gary. Our 10" 36-048 Hinge Set is close to the dimensions you describe. See the diagrams below for reference, and let me know if you think this could work for you.

Each hinge set comes with a pair of hinges, but keep in mind we generally recommend replacing both hinges in the window when one has failed, especially if the new hinge differs slightly from the old one. This ensures the window continues to operate symmetrically. The video below showcases the replacement procedure, in case you need the extra reference. Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Bob and thanks for the quick response.

I agree that the 10" 36-048 appears to be the correct replacement hinge for my windows. The dimensions align very well. The only concern is that my existing track base has a total of 5 holes for mounting to the frame. The 36-048 appears to have only 3, please confirm. Three holes should be sufficient for mounting the track base. Do you agree? If so, I will proceed with placing an order.

Thanks again,

Gary

Hey, Gary. I don't see any issue with the number of holes. The 3 holes available on our 36-048 are more than sufficient. Just note that they may not necessarily align with yours, so you should be prepared to drill new holes in your sill if needed.
