The upper hinge on our weathershield casement window has broken. It is quite frightenting, the windo looks like it is about to fall out. Anyway, I went to weathershield and tried to look it up, [http://www.vayanet.net/docs/ReplPartsCat/WS\_Csmt\_wood\_ReplPts.pdf](http://www.vayanet.net/docs/ReplPartsCat/WS_Csmt_wood_ReplPts.pdf) seems to be the right place. It is not an operator, but the hinge only has one arm. What are the names of the different hinge parts? Where else might I go to find the correct part. ---

Are you looking for something other then the part labeled “top hinge”? If you’re looking to get one specific part, I doubt that’s going to happen, you’ll probably have to get the entire assembly. As for where else to get one. See if they have a distributor in your area. They might have parts, but I’m guessing everyone is going to be closed until Tuesday. You might try Home Depot/Lowes or one of the older Mom and Pop style True Values. ---

No, I need the entire assembly as the arm is broken. However, that is not the part that is attached to my window, that has two arms and mine has one. ---

Try [this](http://www.vayanet.net/docs/ReplPartsCat/WS_Csmt_ReplPts_05.pdf) catalog. That would be “2006 – Weather Shield – 6204/8204 Casement Catalog – 1202614” from [here.](http://weathershield.com/Resources/default.asp?title=Replacement%20Parts%20Catalog) ---

I have twenty year old weathershield windows. One hinge on one casement window is broken. I cannot find it only, yet. Is it likely made by Truth. That would make searching easier. ---

I made a suggestion in the other thread… But since we’re starting over, are there any model numbers on the window, the broken hinge or _any_ part of the window assembly? Could you take a picture of the top hinge from one of the other windows so we can see what it should look like? In the mean time, does anything [here](http://www.allaboutdoors.com/index.php?cPath=85_160&sort=3a&filter_id=) look like it might work? ---

Tomorrow I will search for model numbers and take a photo. Nothing on that page seems to be it, The few things with one arm are not it. ---

**dauerbach**. I’ve combined your two threads. There was no need to start a second one. This thread may seem weird, having combined the two threads. Sorry… **samclem** Moderator
