What Kind of Handle Does Your Window Need?

Different window styles use specific handles to work properly. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the right match.

• For casement windows:These windows swing outward using a crank. If your crank is stripped or broken, a replacement window operator or crank will give you the leverage you need to open and close the window without a struggle.
• For sliding windows:These handles often include a locking mechanism. A new handle can make it easier to slide the window and secure it, and for extra peace of mind, you can also check our selection of window latches.
• For double-hung windows:Sash lifts give you a comfortable grip for raising and lowering these heavy windowpanes. Replacing a cracked or loose lift is a simple fix to make your windows easy to use again.

Helpful Tips and Advice for a Perfect Fit

To get your window working like new, it’s important to find a replacement handle that fits.

• Common problems:If your handle is just loose, you may only need to tighten the screws. If it’s cracked or the internal parts feel gritty when you turn it, it’s time for a replacement. For other issues, check out our window and screen door repair
• Check the connection:Look at how the handle connects to the window. The number of screws and the shape of the stem (for cranks) are the most important things to match.
• Bring in your old part:The easiest way to find a match is to bring your old handle to your local Ace. Our helpful staff can look at it and guide you to the right supplies for the job.

Installing and Maintaining Your New Handle

Most window handle replacements are a straightforward DIY project. To keep your windows functioning reliably for years to come, follow these and other maintenance best practices.

• Lubricate the moving parts with a little light machine oil once a year.
• Clean dirt and grime from the window tracks and gears regularly.
• Check that the mounting screws are tight during seasonal cleaning.
