Screws that are loose are among the most frequent causes of a broken window handle. This could be due normal wear and tear or poor installation. This can result in to a weak link between the handle and window frame. This could lead to leaks, or even the breaking of the window. You can tighten them with the standard screwdriver.

Broken crank

If a window crank does not rotate or spin when you pull it, it's time to replace it. Also known as a casement operator, the mechanism that opens and closes jalousie windows can develop issues over time, such as damaged "splines" or broken gears, says Family Handyman. The replacement of the old crank requires only basic tools and is a simple project.

Start by taking off the attachment screw at the base of the handle with a screwdriver. Then, pull the handle away from the crank stud to inspect the spline underneath it and the teeth in the crankhandle grip. All About Doors & Windows suggests that you repair worn teeth simply by replacing window handles the handle. This is accessible at home centers as well as full service hardware stores. However, if the spline or gears are damaged, the entire operation must be replaced.

To take the crank arm off of the window guide track, slide the arm out until the guide bushing at the end of the arm is in alignment with the track's notch (you might require locking pliers). Next, loosen trim screws that hold the casement cover, then remove it using a putty knife or screwdriver. Find rusted trim screws and replace them with new ones. Then, reconnect the crank arm and cover to the window jamb by matching up the new crank using the holes of the old crank. If the screw holes are stripped and you have a toothpick or two in them to fill in the holes and then drive the screws.

Slide the new bushing on the arm into notch on the window track, then place the handle on the crank stud and insert the attachment screw to fix it. Now, you can open your windows to take in the cool summer breeze. Don't forget to take a look at your work and realize that you can fix anything!

Broken handle

A broken window handle can be a security concern, as it can give burglars access to your house. This is why it's crucial to replace the handle as soon as possible to ensure that your home is secure. Fortunately, this is a relatively easy task that is completed by most homeowners. The first step is to remove the old handle, which can be done by unscrewing the screws which hold it in place. Installing a new handle is easy using the same screws. If you're not confident doing this on your own it's best to hire a professional.

There are various kinds of uPVC windows and the handles for upvc windows are usually made of different materials than the rest of the window. To determine the correct handle type you have, you must understand the mechanism that operates. The "spur" handle is the most common uPVC window type. It operates a locking system by pushing the nose across the block in a wedge shape. This kind of handle is typically used on tilt and turn uPVC windows, although it is also used on casement windows.

The "blade" handle, also known as "spade" is operated similarly as the spur handle. The distinction between the two is that the blade handle uses a roller cam to operate the bolts that shoot, whereas the spur uses a peg to engage with the lugs on the lock.

The issue with these types of window handles is that the spindle inside the handle may break, which means that it will not have a connection on the shoot bolts or roller cam. This can cause the handle turn around without opening the window. It can be frustrating and irritating. To fix this it is possible to use a small tool to move the shoot bolts (although ensure that the window is open first). Insert the tool between the window frame and the rubber seal and then gently push it towards the handle until you feel it hook the roller cam of the shoot bolt. Then, slowly pull the tool away and you'll be able to open the window.
