Storm Window Hardware

Storm Window Hardware covers the latches, clips, hangers, hinges, stays, corner keys, fasteners, and weatherstripping that secure and seal storm panels. Whether you care for classic wood storms or aluminum storm windows, the right parts tighten up gaps, reduce drafts and street noise, improve energy efficiency, and add a layer of security—while protecting your primary windows from weather and wear.

Typical components include:
- Latches and turn-buttons to lock panels and allow quick removal
- Clips and retainers to hold glass or acrylic securely in the frame
- Combination sash hangers for lift-off or swing-in cleaning
- Stays and adjusters to vent safely without slamming
- Corner keys and frame connectors to square and strengthen aluminum frames
- Felt, pile, or neoprene weatherstripping to seal and stop rattles

Choosing hardware is straightforward: match material to your frame (wood, aluminum, or vinyl), verify panel thickness and rabbet depth, confirm hole spacing on older storms, and choose corrosion-resistant finishes (stainless or zinc-plated) for coastal use. For aluminum models, pair compatible corner keys and glazing vinyl; for wood, select solid brass or stainless latches that won’t stain the finish. Measure carefully and consider ordering a few extra clips and screws for future repairs.

Installation is approachable: pre-drill pilot holes, align hardware on the stile or track, compress weatherstripping evenly, and test operation before final tightening. A thin bead of silicone at meeting rails sheds water and boosts draft control. For safety, support glass, wear gloves and eye protection, and use stable ladders.

Maintenance keeps performance high: inspect after heavy weather, retighten loose fasteners, lubricate moving parts with dry silicone spray, and replace worn pile or felt. If you’re planning to buy replacement storm window hardware or repair storm windows, this category offers the parts to restore smooth operation, cut energy costs, and keep your home quieter and more comfortable year-round.
