Can I replace these with the fold ins?

Most of these on our current windows do not work very well. Can I replace them with the truth folding crank handel?

If you just wanted a fold-down type handle, then our 39-205 should work perfectly well for your operator. Look it over and let me know what you think.

Great!
So I do not need to get the kit 39-107FK, just the handle itself will be able to fold with my existing hardware.

The 39-205 will be fully compatible with the cover you have now. The 39-107FK will also work, if you were more interested in the nesting style. It's ultimately up to you since both are compatible.

Is it possible to get the specs for 39-107FK? It looks shorter than the current cover and I'm afriad it might not cover the opening completely.

I don't have the specs for the 39-107FK at the moment, but I can send someone in to the warehouse today to measure it for you, if you'd like. However I don't think that will be necessary; your old cover is an exact match for our 39-107, and the 39-107FK and 39-107 are specifically designed to be interchangeable. I'm highly confident that it will work for you.

Thanks, Tom.
I realized that our top awning window seems to have a different cover. Please see photo. Will the parts work for those as well?

They will not, unfortunately. This kind of operator doesn't have a removable cover at all, it's instead built into the mechanism itself. It's all one piece. I'm afraid you're stuck with this style for that particular operator.

Will the 39-205 handles work for those?

Yes! Even though the design of the base is different, all Truth operators use the same sized spline across all styles, which is 11/32". That means the 39-205 will work perfectly well for this window as it will for the other window. That's one of the handy things about Truth parts.
