Broken crank

If a window crank is unable to turn or even spin when you pull it then it's time to get an alternative. Also known as a casement operator, the mechanism that opens and closes the jalousie window could develop problems in time, like worn-out "splines" or broken gears, according to Family Handyman. The replacement of the crank requires only basic tools and is a relatively simple task.

Start by removing the attachment screw located at the base of the handle with a screwdriver and pulling the handle off the crank stud to check the spline underneath it and the teeth inside the crank-handle grip. It is possible to repair worn teeth by replacing the handle (available at hardware stores, home centers and full-service stores) however, when the spline has been stripped or the gears are damaged it is necessary to replace the entire operator as recommended by All About Doors and Windows.

Then, take off the casement cover by loosening the trim screws. You can employ a screwdriver or knife to remove the cover. Look for rusted trim screws and replace them with new ones. Finally, reattach the crank arm and cover to the window jamb by lining up the new crank with the old holes--if the screw holes are stripped then stick a toothpick or two in them to fill them in and drive the screws.

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

There are many different types of uPVC window and the composite door handles can be constructed of a different material than the rest of the windows. To correctly identify the handle you have you must know how the mechanism functions. The most commonly used kind of uPVC window handle is the "spur" type that works by locking a mechanism by pushing the nose of the handle across a wedge block. This type of handle can be found mostly on tilt-and turn uPVC Windows, but it can also be used on casement Windows.

The "blade" handle is also known as "spade", operates similarly similar to the spur handle. The distinction between the two is that the blade handle uses an operating roller cam to control the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur handle uses a peg to engage with the lugs of the lock.

This kind of window handle has a problem in that the spindle can break and not have a hold on the roller cam or shoot bolts. This could result in the handle turning 360 degrees and not opening the window locking handles, which can be very irritating and frustrating. To correct this issue problem, you can make use of a small tool to move the shoot bolts (although make sure the window is open first). Insert the tool between window frame and rubber seal, then gently push the tool towards the handle. Then you'll be able to slowly pull the tool away and you'll be in a position to open the window.
