Replace crank to nesting or folding?

Question

Hi, is it possible to replace this type of crank handle with your covers with a nesting or folding handles? Our cranks work fine, except we would like to have nesting handles to accommodate blinds. Thank you.

Hello! This looks like a basic Truth brand operator setup. With that in mind, I feel confident that you can use our 39-107FK as a replacement.

Just note that this still may not give you the clearance you need for your blinds. A handle can only fold down so far, but the spline stem is an immovable feature and will always cause your set up to stick out from the window by a set distance. There's no avoiding it. In my experience, it's almost always necessary to install the blinds away from the operator.
