USA Clad Wood Casement Hardware
Operator
Casement window sashes open and close using a hand-cranked, gear-driven operator that is connected to a glide hinge system. The operator is located on the sill. A casement sash can be opened up to 90° perpendicular to the normally closed position.

Glide Hinge System
Our Glide Hinge System consists of lower and upper glide arm assemblies. The lower set is connected to the crank operator. These glide hinges create pivot points at the top and bottom of the sash to achieve left or right hinging, depending on your choice. Hinging is specified as viewed from the exterior.
The Glide Hinges are adjustable to fine-tune the sash alignment and operation.
An optional egress hardware hinge system is available for specific applications.

Egress Hardware
Casement standard operating hardware provides clearance on the hinge side that may allow cleaning of the exterior glass surface from indoors. Our optional Egress Hardware moves the hinge pivot point near the edge of the jamb. The benefit of this is realized with certain window sizes, as it can provide enough additional clear opening width to satisfy some egress codes without having to go to a wider window. Please refer to the Casement Dimensions Sheet for the clear opening specifications.
Note: using Egress Hardware does not guarantee that the window will meet your code requirements. Please refer to your code and compare those requirements with our dimensions sheet.
