Crank Handles

Crank handles require little effort to open and permit a stunning view of the outdoors without blocking the glass. They are commonly used in casement windows which hinge on the sides or awning windows.

The mechanism for the crank window unlike other handles is often subjected an extensive amount of wear and tear. This could result in the handle's gears to break or fall off the operator shaft. By inspecting the crank handle and the operator mechanism regularly will ensure that they are in good working order for the years to come.

A crank handle consists of a shaft made of metal that rotates perpendicularly and is attached to an arm. The handle is operated manually by grabbing it and turning it in a circular motion similar to how you use a pencil sharpener. In certain applications the handle can be leg-operated.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. It's this hole that allows it to connect to machinery and equipment. The handle's arm features a connecting bar that converts the circular motion from the handle into rotary and reciprocating motions to control machines and equipment.

Boats are usually loaded onto trailers using crank handles, in addition to machines and equipment that can be adjusted. They are typically made of stainless steel that is resistant to corrosion in marine environments. Due to this, the majority of boat crank handles are powder coated to protect them from damage and to make them easier to clean.

Replace the crank handle in the event that it stops working or does not allow you to open the window. Before doing this, look for the trim mounting screws within the window frame's track for screen. If there aren't any, try to loosen the cover with a stiff putty knife by sliding it between the window jamb as well as the frame and pulling on it. If that doesn't work, you can remove the cover and open the crank mechanism by uncreasing the screws inside the window frame.
