My client is hoping to replace all of the existing window hand cranks for a hand crank that folds so they don't interfere with the blinds as much. I will need to do a full count but should be approx 30 or so, the windows are Pella. I understand that a brand specific hand crank might not be an option but we would be interested if there is something that might work better than what is currently installed.
Is there a folding crank handle or other style of handle other than the T handle?

Thanks for posting. It looks like these Pella operators use the 39-109B Pella Crank Handle. Unfortunately no folding version of this handle exists. However you should be able to use the 39-227B T-Crank Handle. This would at least give you a little more clearance. Keep in mind it does not provide as much torque as the traditional crank handle. Take a look and let me know what you think.
