Replace crank with folding style

Hi, Mike.

The base of your operator looks like our 39-015, 39-140 or 39-143 which are compatible with the 39-205 folding handle. As long as your spline is 11/32", our 39-205 should work just fine. However, in our experience, folding operator handles also get in the way of most blind treatments. In almost every single case I've come across, the solution ends up being installing the blinds further out so that they don't get in the way of the operators. In other words, the blinds have to make way for the window, not the other way around. Most window manufacturers don't consider blinds when they design their hardware, unfortunately.

Hello! Emily is out sick but I will do my best to assist you.

Reading what you're trying to do, the 39-205 will definitely be your best bet. This folds down against the cover, so you would be able to pull the blinds in quite a ways. When folded down it will really only stick out as far as the spline stem on your operator (maybe a hair more), so you can use that as a reference.

That's great to hear! We're always happy to help, of course. If you have any future hardware questions, you know where to find us!
