Does your window operator itself appear to be rusted, damaged or stripped? You may have a broken window operator if your window gear pulled out with the handle itself. In determining the window operator you require when you require new hardware should be an easy decision. If you need a new handle or a new mechanism you can simply look at the handle or operator itself.
If your handle has become detached from the base of the operator like in the photo. Notice how the gear has pulled out of the mechanism causing irreversible damage to the operating mechanism. This can happen from simple wear and tear, elements or from being forced closed. However, if this is not the case the gears inside the handle itself may have stripped out. Take a look inside the handle to check if the gears are worn down or damaged.
We supply hundreds of window operators.
Window operators come in many different shapes, colors, styles and from a multitude of different manufacturers. To determine which one that you require we will have to see some pictures of the operator to determine if it is in stock or available. If you would like to look thru some of our inventory we have a few common window operators in our online inventory or you can take look at our online catalog to compare operating units.
Signs of rust & grime in the operating gears may cause your unit to fail or become “stripped”. By looking at the gears themselves you may be able to judge if the operator is damaged, bent or if your window gear pulled out with the handle. Blaine Hardware can supply you or your company completely new mechanisms, handles and covers for your bad units.
