I need to replace many of the window operators in the home that we just purchased but I can't find the part number. Can you tell me what is the correct part number ? Also how can I tell whether it is left handed or right handed operator. Do I look from the outside or inside the window ? I have about 6 operators to replace and 8 crank cover and crank handles to replace.
Thanks for any advice.
Daniel

Good afternoon, Daniel. Thank you for submitting your images and posting on the discussion board.
However, in order to accurately determine the appropriate replacement operator(s), you will have to remove your operator(s) from the window. To do this, you will have to remove the "wood sill cover" in order to get to the mounting screws that hold the operator into the window. When doing this, be careful not to damage the wood. Use a utility knife to cut the paint away and a chisel to pry up the cover.
