Window crank replacement

Question

From an appearance standpoint, we would like something white, obviously, to match the windows, and as unobtrusive as possible, such as your product code 39-376. .... don't know if that style will work.

Please help us select the proper cranks.....we'll need a total of 10 of them.

It looks similar to the 39-056, but it looks more like a full 2-1/2 inches instead of 2-3/16 inches. And it looks more like 1/4" instead of 5/16".

These old fashioned operators unfortunately don't have a low profile option. Different color finishes are also not viable in most cases, since most manufacturers aren't really interested in making them anymore. They just aren't as common as they used to be so your options are unfortunately limited. I know you want them to match your windows but that is probably not going to be an option unless you want to paint them yourself.

All that aside, I do agree that the 39-056 is our best option. The difference in link arm size isn't really a big deal since there's a certain measure of play in the linkage. I'm more concerned with the size of the link arm hole and the installation hole pattern. You'll want to ensure that those are the same.
