rivots or pins for 1960 steel casement windows

Question

Looking for pins or rivets for old style casement windows hinges

i only need 4 pins or rivets

I ground the tops off so I could remove windows to replace glass thinking it would be easy to replace the hinge hardware. But not so easy. The rivets must be installed at the factory when making the windows .

The top part of the pin hinge has a half circle recess and then has a brass sleeve that fits into the bottom part of the hinge and then is cold rolled on the bottom.

I will send photos,

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks for contacting us, Tom. I believe you should have replaced the glass in place without removing the hinge pins. That might have made things easier. That being said you might be able to use a type of bolt along with whats called a "nyloc nut". A hardware store should be able to supply you the nut and bolt size you need.

Also take a look at our 33-067 and 33-070 shoulder screws and 33-206 and 33-207 nylon washers to see if these would be the right size to work on your hinges.
