Broken crank

If a window locking handles crank is unable to turn or even spin when you pull it, it's time to buy an upgrade. The mechanism that opens and closes the jalousie windows, also known as a "casement operator" can develop issues over time, such as worn "splines" and broken gears. Replacing the old crank is a relatively simple project that requires only a few basic tools.

Start by removing the attachment screw located at the base of the handle using a screwdriver and pulling the handle off the crank stud, allowing you to examine the spline underneath it and the teeth inside the crank-handle grip. All About Doors & Windows advises that you can repair worn teeth by replacing the handle. This is accessible at home centers and full service hardware stores. However, if the gears or spline have been damaged, the entire operator is required to be replaced.

To remove the crank arm from the window guide track, open the window until the plastic guide bushing on the end of the arm is in line with the track's notch and then move the arm back in (you might need to use locking pliers). Next, loosen the trim screws that hold the casement cover. Remove it using a putty blade or screwdriver. Replace any rusted trim screws with new ones. Then, reconnect the crank arm and cover to the window jamb by lining the new crank with the old holes--if the screw holes are smashed then stick an ice cube or two into them as filler and drive the screws.

Slide the new bushing onto the arm and then into the window's notch track. Set the handle on the crank stud, and insert the attachment screw. Now you can open your windows to enjoy the cool summer breeze. Don't forget to appreciate your handiwork and realize you can fix everything!

Broken handle

A broken window handle is an issue for security, since it can allow burglars access to your home. It is therefore crucial to replace the handle as soon as you can to protect your home. Fortunately it's a easy task that is accomplished by most homeowners. To take off the old handle, you'll have to take out the screws that hold it in place. Installing a new handle is straightforward using the same screws. If you're not confident that you can do this, it's best to hire a professional.

There are many different types of uPVC window and handles can be constructed of a different material in comparison to the other windows. In order to correctly identify the kind of handle you're using it is important to know how the mechanism functions. The most popular kind of uPVC window handle is the "spur" type, which operates a locking mechanism by pushing the handle's nose across the wedge block. This kind of handle is used typically on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, but it can also used on casement Windows.

The "blade" handle, also known as "spade" works in a similar manner to the spur handle. The difference between these two types is that the blade handle utilizes an operating roller cam to control the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur uses a peg to engage with the lugs of the sash lock door handles.

The problem with these type of window handles is that the spindle inside the handle may break, meaning that it won't have a purchase on the bolts for shooting or roller cam. This can cause the handle to turn around without opening the window. It can be a hassle and frustrating. You can fix this using a small tool (but make sure the double glazing window handle is opened before). The tool should be placed between the window frame and rubber seal and gently push the tool towards the handle. Now you can open the window by slowly pulling the tool away.
