FAQs
What types of windows is this handle suitable for?
The Greenteq Alpha handle is specifically designed for tilt & turn casement windows made from PVC-u, timber, or aluminium.
What does 'dual-action operation' mean?
It means the handle allows for two distinct actions: tilting the top of the sash inwards for ventilation (hopper-style) and turning it further to open the sash fully inwards for cleaning or egress.
How does the 'tilt-safe' function work?
The tilt-safe function prevents the window from being fully opened from the sash when it is in the tilted position. It requires the handle to be turned to the fully locked or unlocked position before the window can be opened inwards, enhancing child safety.
Can this handle be used on any tilt & turn window?
It is compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO T&T systems. While it's designed for broad compatibility, it's always best to check your existing window mechanism against these brands for a guaranteed fit.
Does the handle come with all the necessary parts for installation?
Yes, the handle typically includes the key, screws for mounting, and snap-fit cover caps for a clean finish.
What is the 'Secured by Design' approval?
Secured by Design (SBD) is a UK Police initiative that promotes crime prevention through robust product design. Approval indicates that the handle meets specific security standards set by the police.
How many different operational modes does this handle have?
The Greenteq Alpha handle offers 14 distinct operational settings, including various locked, unlocked, tilt-safe, and turn-first modes.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the window is fully closed or fully tilted. Check for any obstructions. Clean the mechanism and apply a light silicone-based lubricant. Verify correct installation and screw tightness.
Window does not lock or tilt properly.
Confirm the handle is compatible with your window's T&T system. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned with the gearbox. Test all 14 settings to identify the issue, and consult the detailed settings guide if necessary.
Key is difficult to insert or turn.
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Check the keyhole for debris. Try operating the handle mechanism gently before inserting the key.
Cover caps do not fit.
Ensure the screws are fully tightened and flush with the backplate. The snap-fit caps should click into place over the screw heads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the window is in the fully closed or fully tilted position before starting.
- Remove the old handle if applicable.
- Align the new Greenteq Alpha handle spindle with the gearbox hole.
- Insert the provided screws through the backplate and into the window frame.
- Tighten the screws securely.
- Attach the snap-fit cover caps.
- Insert the key and test all 14 operation settings.
Compatibility:
This handle is designed for tilt & turn casement windows and is compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO T&T systems. Ensure your window mechanism is a tilt & turn type for proper functionality. The non-handed design suits both left and right-hand opening windows. The invertible backplate allows for use on older installations.
Care:
To maintain the finish and smooth operation, clean the handle periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface. For the internal mechanism, occasional lubrication with a silicone-based spray may be beneficial if stiffness is detected.
