This can result in weak connections between the handle and the frame and can lead to cracks or leaks in the window. You can tighten them using the standard screwdriver.

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. The mechanism that opens and closes jalousie windows, also known as a "casement operator" can develop issues over time, such as worn "splines" and broken gears. The replacement of the crank requires just a few tools and is a relatively easy project.

Begin by taking off the attachment screw at the base of the handle using an screwdriver, then pull the handle away from the crank stud, allowing you to examine the spline beneath it and the teeth in the crankhandle grip. All About Doors & Windows recommends that you repair worn teeth by replacing the handle. This is available at home centers and full service hardware stores. However, if the gears or spline have been damaged, the entire operation will need to be replaced.

To take the crank arm off of the window guide track move the arm out until the guide bushing at the end of the arm is aligned with the notch in the track (you may need locking window handle pliers). Then, loosen the trim screws that secure the casement cover, then remove it using a putty knife or screwdriver. Replace any trim screws that are rusted with new ones. Finally, reattach the crank arm and cover to the window jamb by matching the new crank with the holes of the old crank. If the screw holes are smashed and you have one or two toothpicks into them as filler and drive the screws.

Slide the new bushing onto the arm and then into the window's notch track. Place the handle over the crank stud, then place the attachment screw. You can now open your window to take in the cool summer breeze. Don't forget to admire your work and be aware that you are able to repair everything!

Broken handle

A broken window handle can be a security concern, as it could allow burglars access to your house. This is why it's important to replace the handle as quickly as you can to ensure your home is secured. Fortunately this is a simple task that can be done by the majority of homeowners. The first step is to take off the handle that was previously used, which can be accomplished by removing the screws that hold it in place. Installing a new handle is easy with the same screws. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it's a good idea to get an expert.

There are various kinds of uPVC windows, and the handles for bifold doors on these are often made of a different material than the rest of the window. In order to correctly determine the type of handle you have, it's necessary to understand how the mechanism functions. The "spur" handle is the most popular uPVC window type. It functions as a locking system by pushing the nose across a wedge-shaped block. This type of handle is typically found on tilt and turn uPVC windows, although it can also be used on casement windows.

The "blade" handle, also known as "spade" is operated in a similar way similar to the spur handle. The blade handle uses a roller to operate the bolts whereas the spur utilizes pegs to engage the lock's lugs.

This kind of window handle has a problem in that the spindle could break and not have a grip on the shoot bolts or the roller cam. This could result in the handle turning 360 degrees and not opening the window and can be painful and irritating. To remedy this it is possible to employ a small device to move the shoot bolts (although ensure that the window is unlocked first). Insert the tool between window frame and rubber seal and gently push the tool towards the handle. Then, slowly pull the tool away and you'll be in a position to open the window.
