Positioning as a Wooden Window Hardware Manufacturer
WANO is a China-based Wooden Window Hardware manufacturer supplying mechanical hardware sets for solid wood and timber window frames. Our category focus is the Wooden Window Tilt & Turn 90/180° Hardware system, which combines natural material compatibility with durable metal construction.
We serve fabricators, window system brands, architectural hardware dealers and project clients from our 38,000 m² manufacturing base in Ningbo. The range is supported by in-house die casting, stamping, machining, surface treatment and assembly, so every wooden window hardware set is produced and inspected under one roof.
Product Range and Application Fit
Our wooden window hardware range is structured around the Tilt & Turn 90/180° system. It supports two operating modes from one handle: turn mode for full side opening and tilt mode for top-controlled ventilation.
- 90° configuration is used where the sash opens into the room and hinge clearance is limited.
- 180° configuration folds the sash back against the frame for wide access and easy glass cleaning.
- Multi-point locking distributes clamping force around the sash perimeter.
- Drive bars and locking plates are selected around sash height, weight and profile routing.
| Application Context | Hardware Priorities | Configuration Input |
|---|---|---|
| Residential villas | Natural aesthetics, quiet operation, long service life | Handle styling, finish color, sash weight, locking points |
| Commercial buildings | Higher use frequency, security, consistent closing | Cycle durability, multi-point locking, corrosion protection |
| Hotels and apartments | Mixed users, ventilation, controlled opening | Ergonomic handle force, 90°/180° mode, wear life |
| Public buildings | Safety, maintenance access, repeated operation | Fall-prevention details, adjustment range, surface durability |
Frame Compatibility and Technical Considerations
Timber frames are stable but they respond to humidity and temperature. Hardware for wood must tolerate seasonal movement without losing compression or alignment.
- Sash weight and width determine hinge load rating and the number of hinges required.
- Frame profile and groove dimensions define the routing depth and fixing positions.
- Opening angle, 90° or 180°, affects hinge geometry and sash clearance.
- Finish grade is selected against indoor humidity, coastal salt air and cleaning frequency.
Engineering Value and Quality Assurance
Our R&D center has 100 professionals focused on window and door hardware structure, materials and surface treatment. In-house tooling production keeps die and fixture accuracy under our control, which is essential for batch-to-batch consistency on timber window profiles.
WANO operates 15 in-house laboratories covering the full inspection chain from incoming material and first-article checks to in-process control and final pre-shipment verification.
- Torque testing confirms ergonomic handle operating force.
- Load and tensile testing verifies the load-bearing capacity of hinges and locking points.
- Opening/closing cycle testing simulates tens of thousands of operations for durability and smoothness.
- Salt spray resistance testing checks surface treatment stability for coastal and high-humidity projects.
Automation and Production Integration
Wooden window hardware is mechanical and requires no electrical supply or control interface. We package component sets so fabricators can feed them into manual or semi-automated assembly lines without re-engineering the production process.
- Consistent drive bar lengths and screw hole locations reduce setup time.
- Locking plate and strike positions are documented on the assembly drawing.
- Component-level packing matches the window assembly sequence.
Customization and Branding for Wooden Window Hardware
OEM and ODM projects can be configured around your brand identity and market position. Our customization process follows a structured path: requirement consultation, drawing or sample confirmation, technical assessment, sample development and testing, pricing, mass production, quality inspection, packaging and delivery.
- Handle profiles, curvature and grip thickness can be designed square or rounded to match interior style.
- Surface finishes include powder coating, electrophoretic coating and anodizing, with custom textures and colors.
- Brand logos can be applied by laser engraving, screen printing or die-cast integrated molding.
- Unit boxes and outer cartons can be printed with your logo, brand name and model details; neutral or brand-exclusive packaging is available.
Installation and Maintenance
Correct screw length and torque matter more on timber than on aluminum because wood fibers can crush under over-tightening. We provide fixing positions on the assembly drawing and recommend checking compression and hinge alignment after installation.
- Follow the supplied fixing positions and use the recommended screw length for the frame thickness.
- After installation, check compression adjustment and hinge alignment.
- Re-check after the building’s first seasonal wetting and drying cycle.
- Lubricate moving parts with a suitable hardware grease as part of routine maintenance.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare a precise wooden window hardware proposal, we need the operating and fabrication data listed below. With an annual capacity of approximately 20 million hardware sets and lean production management, we support both bulk project supply and ongoing distribution replenishment.
| Information | Why It Is Required | How We Apply It |
|---|---|---|
| Profile drawing and groove cross-section | Defines drive bar length and fixing geometry | We match hardware to your routed timber profile |
| Sash width, height and weight | Defines hinge load rating and number of locking points | We calculate the complete hardware set configuration |
| Opening angle 90° or 180° | Changes hinge set and sash clearance | We configure the correct hinge variant |
| Handle style, color and logo | Aligns hardware with interior design and brand identity | We develop samples before mass production |
| Order quantity, packaging and destination | Plans production and delivery | We issue a project-specific quotation |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this hardware be used on engineered timber window frames?
The hardware is designed for solid wood and timber window frames. Send the profile cross-section and sash weight, and we will confirm the routing, fixing, hinge load rating and locking point layout for your specific frame construction.
What is the difference between 90° and 180° tilt & turn hardware?
The 90° configuration opens the sash into the room, while the 180° configuration folds the sash fully back against the frame for wide access and easier cleaning. The hinge mechanism, drive bar and frame clearance all differ between the two configurations.
Can you match our handle shape, color and logo?
Yes. We customize handle profiles, curvature, grip thickness and surface finishes, and we apply logos through laser engraving, screen printing or die-cast integrated molding. Samples are developed and tested before mass production begins.
How is quality verified for wooden window hardware?
Fifteen in-house laboratories run torque, load and tensile, opening/closing cycle and salt spray resistance tests. Final pre-shipment inspection checks dimensions, function and appearance before release.
What information does WANO need for a quotation?
We need profile drawings, sash width, height and weight, opening angle, number of locking points, handle style, finish, branding, packaging, order volume and delivery destination. With these details, we can provide a configuration and project-specific quotation.
