Need a folding handle

Question

I'm getting window blinds and my casement window crank handle will interfere. I need a folding handle. I ordered the -107FK but a Swisco rep says that won't work on my operator. Then he wouldn't confirm that the-205 would work because he was worried that my operator arms appear to be stainless steel, which is different than any of your operators.
So what can Swisco do to help me with my new blinds?

Hello,

Your operator resembles one of the Encore-style operators shown in the video below depending on the fitting attached to the end of the longer arm. Both pairs use the 39-375 and 39-376 handles with covers.

With that being said, you may have an older style with a fixed cover that can't be removed. If so, you would need to replace the entire operator, along with the handle and cover. Look over the video and related parts to see what you think.

If all you need is the folding handle, I agree that the 39-205 should work as long as the spline of your operator has the same 11/32" diameter as the handle opening. Thanks for posting!
