Window that swing out from left not closing

Quick Learner from Wildwood / Gibbsboro

I have two windows not closing properly. One will not close far enough to use lock mechanism, the other window will shut on the lock side but the far side pushes away from sill.

Once we figure out what I need I would like to by two sets of hardware. If I get them installed properly I'll probably buy enough for the rest of my windows.

We should be able to help with these parts, but I'm not sure if you need a new hinge or a new operator. To confirm, please disconnect the operator from the window and open and close the window by hand. If it still hangs up, then you need a new hinge. I recommend the 36-048.

If the window operates just fine, then you need a new operator. You have either the 39-253LB or 39-438B, depending on the slider at the end of the arm. See the video below for a more thorough explanation of what I mean. Also see our 39-253RB or 39-439B operators for the opposite side, as well as the 39-451 and 39-452 covers.

Not sure if you received previous responses here were my responses - This is one of pieces that goes on base of windows sill and holds to bottom of window. It appears the black piece at end has 2 holes.

Thanks David

How much would a complete hardware set be? From inside home the left side of window swings out. They are Simonton Windows.

It sounds like you do need the a new hinge set then. See if our 36-048 matches up. The pricing is listed on its shop page. To see how to install a new hinge set, see the video below.
