The modern hinges/stays on UPVC windows are SS, all our windows are fitted with triclkle vents which we leave open, we rarely find the need to open the casements. The casements have triple locking points.
I fixed 68 DG units in the old wooden windows and doors using putty on a roll, if I used the old fashioned stuff I would still be at it..
Some of the problems with window/door failure/hinge failure is that a lot of folks persist in trying to open them when the frames are jamming for whatever reason.
I remember those old hardwood doors that flooded the market, a lot of them were crap from day one, I think some must have been assembled with flour glue.
