Window and door hardware specialist Total Hardware has further strengthened its Duration range with the launch of the new Duration Restricted Friction Hinge. Designed by and exclusive to Total Hardware, the new hinge delivers enhanced safety, smooth performance and dependable long-term durability for open-out casement windows
The Duration Range by Total Hardware, has built a strong reputation for quality and reliability. The new Restricted Friction Hinge extends that offer even further, giving fabricators, installers and ultimately end users a high-performance solution that prioritises safety, ease of use and long-term confidence.
The Duration Restricted Friction Hinge is available in both top hung and side hung variants, offering maximum flexibility across window styles
Its intelligent geometry has been designed and tested to ‘self-balance’ open-out casement windows, ensuring smooth and controlled operation in everyday use
Safety and compliance are central to the hinge’s design. The integrated restrictor limits the initial opening angle, while a colour-coded quick release button allows the restriction to be safely overridden when full access is required. Importantly, the restricted function automatically resets when the window is closed, maintaining ongoing protection without additional user intervention
Fabricators will also benefit from practical manufacturing advantages. Colour-coded end caps and outer packaging clearly differentiate 13mm and 17mm stack heights, helping to streamline production across multiple systems
Heavy duty arms come as standard, offering greater weight-carrying capacity and enhanced strength.
Manufactured in a choice of Ferritic 430 Stainless Steel or Austenitic 304 Stainless Steel
the hinge is designed to perform in demanding environments. It has been tested to 20,000 cycles as part of BS 6375-2 and the restriction function tested to BS EN 14351, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind
The product is backed by a 10-year Mechanical Guarantee in Ferritic 430 Stainless Steel and 25-year Mechanical Guarantee in Austenitic 304 Stainless Steel underlining Total Hardware’s commitment to long-term performance.
The new hinge joins the wider Duration portfolio, offering fabricators a complete, high-quality hardware solution from a single, trusted supplier.
The Duration Restricted Friction Hinge is available to order now.
