Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned with the window mechanism and that no debris is obstructing movement. Check that the handle is securely fastened and not overtightened against the window frame.
Tilt function does not engage properly.
Verify that the window mechanism is fully closed before attempting to tilt. Check for any obstructions in the window channel or on the locking points.
Key deadlock does not lock or unlock.
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Check that the window mechanism itself is in the fully closed position before attempting to lock.
Handle does not return to the fully closed position.
Check that the window sash is properly seated and that the locking keeps on the frame are aligned with the mushroom cams on the sash. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the window from closing fully.
