Cover plates to hide the opening for the operator

A handy person from Gainesville Florida says:
Can I purchase the cover plates that cover the openings when you remove a Pan Am window crank? We never use the cranks to open the windows (in an office), and they get in the way of the window blinds.

Good Afternoon,

I am sorry, we do not have any type of cover plate to hide the opening left from removing the operator from the window. My only suggestion is to perhaps remove the handle and that may give you a little more room to open and close the blinds. (this way you can also save the handle just in case you decide to open the windows sometime in the future)
