Adjusting the bottom loop
The bottom hinge of the Kale fittings is not simple, but regulates the sash in three planes: vertical, horizontal and along the clamp.
Use a hexagon on the bottom hinge to adjust the vertical position of the sash, and use a screwdriver to adjust the horizontal position
The vertical position of the sash is adjusted on the sash hinge. To do this, arm yourself with a hexagon and remove the top decorative cap of the hinge.
Immediately after this, you will see an adjustment screw on the “surgical surface”. If you need the sash to rise higher, turn it clockwise with the hexagon. If you omit it, it's the opposite. Adjustment step +/- 3 mm. And the sash will feel healthy!
On the same sash hinge there is another adjustment - about the clamp . This is a screw at the base of the hinge; it is tightened with a slotted screwdriver. This “operation” will help if the lower part of the sash does not fit tightly to the frame. True, the effect may be weak, because adjustment is only possible by 1 mm in both directions.
The window is adjusted horizontally in the frame hinge using the same hexagon. Before you do this, do not forget to open the door. Otherwise, you simply won't find this loop.

Repair of wooden windows with fittings Calais.
The piping elements of Kale fittings for plastic and wooden windows are the same. Only the hinges and strikers may differ. Sometimes the repair of wooden windows involves changing the geometry of the sash, and this requires removing the glass unit, but first the glazing beads. Removing glazing beads is often accompanied by paint chips and wood jams. It’s easier when the windows are white, but if the windows are colored or structural (the structure of the wood is emphasized by a special impregnation), then invite craftsmen who work with stains, oils and varnishes.
The upper bracket is also an important “patient”
The bracket adjustment screw is clearly visible in this photo.
The top bracket, for those who are not in the know, plays the role of the top hinge. Sometimes, if the sash is very heavy, it is used as a middle hinge. The part helps the scissors and the lower hinge press the sash more tightly to the frame.
And to make it help better, you can strengthen the pressure with a hexagon. The adjusting screw is located in a visible place - in the middle of the bracket.
Repair of plastic windows with Kale fittings.
Repairing windows with Kale fittings is not much different from repairing other fittings.
If all the fittings are intact, but the window does not work or does not work well, then the repair is carried out on the day the technician arrives, but after a detailed telephone conversation. Sometimes photography can help. Places where it can blow in plastic windows and repair methods are described in detail on the PVC window repair page. If it is necessary to replace one or more elements of fittings, then a preliminary visit by a specialist for inspection is required.
If you want to purchase accessories for self-repair, then you need a catalog number or a specialist visit for inspection.
How to adjust eccentrics?
Eccentrics are mushroom-shaped locking pins that “grow” on the side of the sash. Their number varies - 4 or 5. And they, oddly enough, are also responsible for the pressure.
Kale’s scissors are adjusted in the same way as in other systems
The figure shows that the locking pins are located along the entire perimeter of the window
To strengthen or weaken the pressure on the window for the summer, use a hexagon to adjust the screws that are located in the very center of the round pieces. Turn it clockwise - the sash will press harder, counterclockwise - it will move further away from the frame.

The company Kale Kapi Pencere Sistemleri AS, part of Kale Industry Holding since 2002, develops hardware systems for aluminum, wood, plastic windows and doors with adjustable and non-adjustable turning, tilt-and-turn, tilt and sliding sashes, as well as structures with opening bolt type (rotary and tilt-and-turn with drive and rotary with latch).
Along with the Kale Sapfir turn-and-tilt systems, Kale Goksu, Kale Duden, Kale Sonora turn-and-tilt systems, Kale Suphan, Kale Ilgaz systems for door and modular units and Kale Grena, Kale automatic turn-and-tilt hardware complexes sold today in different countries of the world Kapi Pencere Sistemleri AS continues to work towards improving its products. And in March 2009, at the international exhibition of door and window accessories, Fuari'nda in Istanbul presented an innovative system for “sliding” windows, KALE AKSU TiLT AND SLiDE SYSTEM.
The main difference between KALE AKSU and window fitting systems sold in the world today is the unusual opening of the sashes. The sash is moved forward and moved to the side in a plane parallel to the structure, “in weight” with the help of special fittings, which eliminates the most problematic part of all sliding systems – the rolling unit of the sash along the groove of the frame. The KALE AKSU system is positioned by the manufacturer as revolutionary in the field of window technology, but is not yet sold on the Russian national market.
The most “promoted” in our country and has already earned consumer recognition is the Kale Sapfir system for tilt-and-turn structures. Kale Sapfir fittings are certified to meet the quality requirements of ISO 9001, Russian GOST R and have been successfully tested at the Window Institute in Rosenheim (Germany).
Just like the fittings systems of many European manufacturers, Kale Sapfir fittings have three layers of coating - galvanic zinc plating using alkali-zinc technology, chrome plating with safe trivalent chromium and a finishing coating with a specially developed varnish composition that provides not only anti-corrosion protection, but also a reduction in friction forces in moving parts of fittings. The Kale Sapfir adjustable sash fall-out blocker is integrated into the folding latch, and the tilt-and-turn strike plate acts as a microlift, determining the optimal position of the sash in the frame during the rebate. The possibility of adjusting the sash in three planes is impressive, including the bottom hinge - in the vertical plane up to 8 mm, horizontally up to 4 mm, in the pressing direction - up to 2 mm. Although there are restrictions on the possibility of designing the installation width of the sashes (the size of the fitting groove is from 320 to 490 mm) and their weight (up to 130 kg).
The manufacturer's ten-year warranty covers mechanical wear of plastic parts in hardware systems, corrosion resistance and color fastness. Decorative overlays for visible parts of Kale Sapfir systems and control knobs are available in colors silver, copper, black, brown, white, beige, light brown, nickel, champagne. Handles are either aluminum or steel coated with wear-resistant plastic of various colors, 3 mm thick.
Despite the “tradition”, Kale Sapfir fittings are in great consumer demand in our country due to their high quality, reliability, durability, but most importantly – affordable price in comparison with the “masters” of the fittings business Aubi, Roto, Maco, etc.
