Burton casement window crank operator

Quick Learner from Pennsylvania

Hi! I'm looking for a replacement crank operator for a casement window. Photos attached. I can find no numbers or markers of any kind on the part. On the handle is the name Burton. Burton is also stamped into the wooden window frame. The unit measures 4" across at it's widest point. The arm measures 13 3/4" from the center of the hole (where the bushing goes) to the end of the plastic roller. And it measures 2 5/8" front to back, minus the arm. The front holes are 3" apart center to center, and the back holes (Closest to crank handle) measure 1 5/8" center to center. As far as age, my best guess is it was installed in the mid 80's. When I removed it, it was broken into 3 pieces. (At the screw holes) If you look closely you can see the cracks. I glued it together for the pics. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, Scott.

Your operator looks like it could be a good match for our 39-013 and 39-014 but compare our dimensions to your old hardware to see if you agree.

Hi Emily, I think we have a winner with that operator. Thank you!

I also need hinges. Photos attached. I believe it is a 2 bar hinge, if I'm not mistaken. It's difficult for me to get precise measurements with the hinge attached but it appears to be as follows: The portion that attaches to the sash is 8", the piece attached to the sill is 9.5 inches and the arm between them looks like 5.5 inches.

I see they come in pairs. It appears to be a left and a right hinge. If I only wanted hinges for one window, let's say the right window, would I need to buy two sets?

In addition, I also need some weather stripping. The first picture shows the location. There is a groove or track that the material slides into. The "seal" portion measured 3/8".

Thanks again!

Hello! Emily isn't here today but I can help you with this hinge. Your exact model probably isn't made anymore, but our 36-048 should work perfectly well as a replacement. I use this very same hinge set on windows like yours all the time and it's always a perfect fit. The trick is that you just have to replace the top and bottom at the same time, ensuring a symmetrical operation, since the design is slightly different compared to your original. The video below will go into more detail.

Thank you Tom, very much appreciated. And again, just to clarify, would a set of these hinges go on the same window, top and bottom, or is one for the left and the other for the right window?

You're very welcome! I'm happy to help, of course.

The two hinges that come with the 36-048 kit are specifically designed to go on the top and bottom of a single sash. That said, they can be used on left or right-hand facing sashes interchangeably.
