Casement stop device

Question

My Aluminium Casement window has the following window hardware
1) Interlock 3905 window support
2)Truth winder ( US pat 36149905560082 )

Problem When open a small amount the wind will catch the window and open the window to 90%. In a strong breeze it acts like a sail and ww are fortunate that the window has not blown off
Question. I am wanting to try a windows sash stop device to stop the widow opening. ( would the 39-398 be the product you recommend)
Also what is your part numbers to replace the truth and the interlock hardware
Any other recommendations would be great
Regards Kevin

Reading your discussion, I'm thinking it could be that the operator is worn from wind abuse. I would suggest replacing the operator. See if the specifications of the 39-171 and 39-172 match up with your assembly. I also think the 39-398 device is worth considering. This is recommended to be used as a child deterrent, but in your case, it might help with the wind issue. Your exact hinge is no longer available, but if it is in good working order I would not replace it. However, if it does need to be replaced, I recommend the 36-048. Just make sure to replace the top and bottom hinges at the same time.
