Unlike other types of handles that are geared towards windows, a crank window's mechanism and handle are often subjected to significant wear and tear, which could cause the gears to strip and the handle to cease functioning or fall off the shaft of the operator. Regularly checking the handle of the crank as well as the mechanism for operating it will ensure that they are in good shape for many years.

A crank handle is an electronic arm that is connected to a rotating shaft that is perpendicular. The handle is operated manually by gripping it and turning it in a circular motion similar to how you use the sharpener of a pencil. In certain instances the handle could be operated via a leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. This hole allows it to connect to machinery and equipment. The handle's arm is equipped with an attaching bar that converts the circular motion from the handle into reciprocating and rotary motions that allow you to operate machines and equipment.

In addition to adjusting machinery and equipment Crank handles are often used on boats to help them be loaded onto trailers. They are typically made from stainless steel that is resistant against corrosion in marine environments.

If your crank handle isn't working or won't open the window, it may be time to replace it. Before doing so you should look for screws that attach to the trim inside the window frame's screen track. If there aren't any, you can try to loosen the cover using a rigid putty knife by sliding it between the window jamb and the frame and pulling it. If it doesn't work, you can remove the cover and get access to the crank mechanism by uncreasing the screws inside the window frame.
