I ordered this from Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007YUO762/
However the delivery vanished and I have been refunded.
I have no idea if this was a one off failure but I am disinclined to order
again from the same source.

I want a screw down window stay in bright metal (that is, SS, chrome,
brass not black) which is as long as possible. Over 300 mm but longer is
better.

I have been searching on and off for a long time but can't seem to find
one.

I want to hold a very large wooden window open at 90 degrees (or more),
but with adjustment so I can open it anywhere from a tiny bit to the full
opening.
It needs to be a secure fixing to prevent the wind shaking it loose.

Any suggestions for a product most welcome.


Cheers

Several on ebay, search 'screw down window stay -250mm'
Most are 300mm/12" - not sure if that's enough.
Ironmongery Direct have a few more 300mm too - I'm sure other sources will
have similar.

If you want to go beyond 12" it gets more tricky.

12" brass here

https://www.doorhandlecompany.co.uk/...12-poli-27871/

There are longer door stays, but they fail your appearance criteria.

https://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/...-silver-866596

This is shorter, but more substantial?

Ta - a possibility.

This looks to be just a friction stay to slow the opening or closing, not m
locking stay to hold the window at a fixed point, unfortunately.
More than happy to be corrected.

305 mm was a compromise.
I really want something longer, but as you say most seem to be 250 mm.

The window is nearer the size of a small door.
Roughly 840 mm wide and 1650 mm tall.
So wider than the average door but not quite as tall.
Oak frame, custom built.
Two windows, in fact, more like French Windows.

So a longer stay would be good, but there doesn't seem to be much out
there for windows nearly as big as doors.

Have you looked at hatch stays from chandlers? Eg

Sorry, slow in responding.

That looks a very interesting option.

Might wander down to a Yacht Chandlers and have a look.
