There are several problems which can develop over time:
1. The friction wears out & windows flop open in the breeze,
2. The hinge gets corroded & stiff to open, sometimes this can be re-covered by spraying the 4 friction joints with a spray lube, anything but the red 556 CRC which has a cutting compound in it.
3. The hinge wears & loses the ability to pull the top of the window closed
An easy way to check your friction stays is with our free draft testing card. To request a card, or book a free assessment, give us a call on 0800 25 25 00

“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”

Meet Raukura Edwards who shares “I loved the experience of studying, I felt at home at Awanuiārangi.
The lecturers are amazing. Being able to learn online and through block learning was so much more efficient for me as a working Māmā. I was able to work, look after my tamariki and gain a degree. We supported each other to get over the line. I’m studying for a Master’s now and I’m learning so much more. I love it!”
You too can help facilitate the learning journey of future leaders. Study with us in 2021 and become a teacher!

The story will examine the role of religion and faith in New Zealand, and how it has changed over the last few decades.
Do you know of any unique places of worship in Auckland? Perhaps you have a special area in your home where your family meets to pray, or the way you cook and meet people is shaped by your faith? How does your faith help you through challenging times?
I'd love to hear from people of all religions - please email me a little bit about yourself at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you're interested in sharing.
