FAQs
What types of windows is this handle compatible with?
This handle is specifically designed for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium casement windows that use a tilt & turn (T&T) mechanism. It is compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO T&T systems.
How does the child safety feature work?
The 'tilt-safe' function allows the window to be tilted for ventilation but prevents it from opening fully, thereby stopping a child from being able to fall through the opening.
Can I use this handle on any window?
No, this handle is exclusively for windows with a tilt & turn mechanism. It will not function correctly on standard casement or sliding windows.
What is the 'turn-first' mode for?
The 'turn-first' mode is compatible with older window systems and allows for easier integration, often simplifying the process of upgrading older hardware.
How many keys are typically included?
While specific packaging may vary, the handle is designed to be keyed alike for security. Check the product packaging for the exact number of keys included. Additional keys can often be cut by a locksmith.
What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. The mechanism is designed for smooth, reliable operation without frequent lubrication.
What does 'non-handed' mean?
'Non-handed' means the handle can be installed on windows that open to the left or to the right, simplifying installation and inventory management.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for obstructions around the moving parts. Ensure screws are not overtightened. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the mechanism if necessary.
Window does not tilt or open correctly
Verify that the handle is in the correct position for the desired action (tilt or open). Check that the window mechanism itself is not obstructed or damaged. Ensure compatibility with your specific T&T system.
Key does not turn or lock/unlock mechanism fails
Ensure the correct key is being used. Check that the handle is in a neutral position before attempting to lock or unlock. The mechanism may require professional assessment if damaged.
Cover caps do not fit securely
Ensure the screw holes are clean and free of debris. The cover caps are designed to snap into place; apply firm, even pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is designed to be straightforward. The handle typically replaces an existing one by aligning with the window's existing spindle and screw holes. The pack includes the handle, necessary screws, and snap-fit cover caps for a clean finish. The invertible backplate aids in aligning with older profiles. Ensure the spindle length is compatible with your window's depth.
Compatibility: This handle is suitable for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium casement windows that utilize tilt & turn mechanisms. It is confirmed to be compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO T&T systems. It is essential to verify your existing window hardware system before purchase.
Care: To maintain the finish and operation, clean the handle periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface coating. A 20-year surface guarantee covers normal wear and tear.
