FAQs
What types of windows is this handle suitable for?
This handle is designed for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium tilt & turn casement windows.
What does 'dual-action operation' mean?
Dual-action means the handle can perform two functions: tilting the window inwards from the top for ventilation (hopper style) and opening the window fully inwards from the side (for cleaning or egress).
How does the 'tilt-safe' function work?
The tilt-safe function allows the window to be tilted for ventilation but prevents it from being fully opened from the side, enhancing child safety. This is usually engaged in one of the 14 selectable settings.
Is the handle handed (left or right)?
No, the Greenteq Alpha handle features a non-handed design, meaning it can be fitted to both left-opening and right-opening windows.
What systems is it compatible with?
It is compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO tilt & turn hardware systems.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes, the handle typically includes the necessary screws and snap-fit cover caps for installation. A key is also provided for locking functions.
What is the warranty on the surface finish?
The handle comes with a 20-year surface guarantee, ensuring durability against corrosion and degradation under normal use.
How do I clean and maintain the handle?
Clean the handle with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Occasional lubrication of the mechanism with a silicone-based spray is recommended for smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the window is fully closed and latched. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Lubricate the internal spindle and moving parts with a silicone-based spray. Verify compatibility with the window's existing locking mechanism.
Handle does not lock or tilt properly
Confirm the handle is correctly installed and the spindle is fully engaged. Ensure you are using the correct mode selection (locked, tilt-safe, unlocked). If using 'turn-first', follow the specific sequence for locking/unlocking. Check for any damage to the internal locking parts.
Key will not insert or turn
Ensure the handle is in the correct position for key operation (typically fully locked or unlocked). Check that the correct key is being used. Remove any debris from the keyhole. If the key is bent or damaged, it may need replacement.
Cover caps do not snap into place
Ensure the area beneath the cover caps is clean and free of debris. Check that the screw heads are not protruding excessively. Gently apply even pressure to snap the caps into place.

Compatibility:
This handle is designed for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium tilt & turn casement windows. It is compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO tilt & turn systems. The invertible backplate makes it suitable for older windows that may require a 'turn-first' mechanism. Always verify your window's hardware system before purchase.
Care:
To maintain the handle's finish and performance, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For enhanced durability, occasional lubrication of the internal mechanism with a silicone-based spray is recommended, especially in harsh environments. The 20-year surface guarantee covers the finish against corrosion and degradation under normal use.
