We have 3 casement windows on which the cranks have all broken. I've attached pictures here (all 3 are identical). The mechanism on the windows themselves still work, but the cranks themselves are not working because the stem seems to have come apart from the base (I'm not sure if I'm using the terms correctly). I cannot see any screws on the base, so it's not obvious to me how they are attached to the window frame (perhaps they are on the outside of the house?). Please let me know if you can identify the necessary parts.

Hello, thank you for writing in. Unfortunately when this happens it means that the gears are stripped and the only option is to replace the whole operator. I would be happy to assist you in identifying a replacement, but I will need to see the entire assembly, unobstructed by the screen. I would particularly like to see it from a birds eye perspective. Many thanks! |

Thanks for these follow up pictures! Take a look at the parts I've listed on the side. Compare their measurements to your original part to see if any of them may be a match. |
The length of the arms (when fully closed) is 21" and the hole in the window through which the entire contraption fits before it is attached to the outer window, is 5".
Also, does these operators include the actual arm (i.e., the thing one turns to open and close the window)?
Also, can you please tell me what else I need to order -- do I need an operator cover, a sash bracket, a crank handle, etc.? (I need 4 full assemblies.)

Ah, I see what you mean. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to attach the bracket to the face of the window, as you have it in your original set up. As far as I can determine, I believe it should still work for you. |
