Top Scissor Guides

Your window’s top scissor guides are the silent guardians ensuring your windows open gracefully. These are precision tracking components that channel the scissor hinge mechanism along its correct path during window operation. And that prevents lateral movement that could damage your window’s weather seals or even create dangerous situations. These often-overlooked guides feature precisely formed channels or grooves that contain the scissor arm slider. They ensure the window sash follows its intended arc when tilting or turning.

A functioning top scissor guide prevents windows from binding, jumping track, or, worse, dropping unexpectedly when opened. Their safety implications are substantial, too, especially on upper floors or in commercial settings. Good quality top scissor guides eliminate juddering during operation and distribute forces evenly across the hinge assembly. And that significantly extends your top scissors’ lifespan.
