Optima™ Casement & Awning Snubbers
Concealed hinge-track snubbers — standard compression, angled for high wind load, interlocking and high impact versions for coastal cycling tests, plus a 2" compression snubber for the lock pocket. PDF brochure available.
Snubbers sit in the hinge track between the two hinges and hold the sash tight to the frame, taking load off the hinges during pressure testing and keeping the weather seal compressed.
Which one to use depends on the profile: the standard compression snubber suits sash and frame combinations with no internal reinforcement, the angled version pulls the sash in harder as wind load rises on reinforced or stiffer profiles, and the interlocking versions hold the sash from rotating out during the cycling portion of coastal impact certification.
