Hello,
I have a casement window with a worn crank mechanism. I can open the window with the crank all the way open, and then can get it about 2/3 of the way shut with the crank, but the last 1/3, I have to use my hand to pull it in as I crank, after taking the screen off. Needless to say, I don't really open this window anymore. The crank mechanism slips during the last 1/3 of closing, like whatever is going into the gears is soft and not locking into the gears.
The window is a K & C 213-K-012. I wrote K & C about a replacement mechanism and didn't hear back. Wondering if you have something?
It looks like one of your photos. Maybe the 39-253RB.
Any help with be appreciated, I'd like to avoid replacing the window, it's second story in an inconvenient exterior location.
Thanks,
Robert
