Optima™ awning hinges come in 10", 14", 18", and 22" lengths so the hinge can be matched to the sash. Sizing matters on an awning: a hinge that is too small lets the sash close by itself, one that is too large lets it open on its own, and either loads the operator and shortens its life.

Arms ship separate from the non-adjustable tracks, and the 2" shoe carries an offset friction adjustment screw that stays accessible after the window is built.
