FAQs
What types of windows is this handle compatible with?
This handle is designed for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium casement windows that utilize a tilt & turn mechanism. It is compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO T&T systems.
How do I switch between tilting and opening the window?
Turn the handle upwards to tilt the window inwards from the top for ventilation. Turn the handle downwards (typically 90 degrees) to unlock and open the window fully inwards for cleaning or egress.
What is the 'tilt-safe' function?
The 'tilt-safe' function restricts the window from opening fully, allowing only the hopper tilt. This is a safety feature to prevent children from falling out of partially opened windows.
Is this handle suitable for older windows?
Yes, the 'turn-first' compatible backplate is designed to suit older windows, potentially simplifying retrofitting.
Does the 10-pack include keys?
Yes, the handles typically come with the necessary keys for the deadlock function.
What is the warranty on the finish?
The handle boasts a 20-year surface guarantee, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion for daily operation.
Can I use this handle on windows that open outwards?
No, this handle is specifically designed for inward-opening casement windows with a tilt & turn mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the window gearbox is aligned correctly. Check for any obstructions in the window mechanism. Lubricate the spindle lightly if necessary.
Window does not lock or tilt properly
Verify that the handle is fully engaged in the desired position. Check that the window mechanism is compatible and correctly installed. Consult the specific T&T system's manual if issues persist.
Key does not turn or lock the handle
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Check that the window is fully closed before attempting to lock. The deadlock mechanism may require adjustment if the window is misaligned.
Cover caps do not fit securely
Ensure the screws are properly seated and not overtightened. The cap should snap firmly into place.
