FAQs
What types of windows is this handle compatible with?
The Greenteq Alpha handle is designed for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium tilt & turn casement windows. It is also compatible with specific T&T systems from AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO.
How does the tilt-safe function work?
The tilt-safe function is a security feature that allows the window to be tilted open for ventilation but prevents it from opening fully inwards. This is a safety measure to prevent children from falling out.
Can I use this handle on any window, regardless of opening direction?
Yes, the handle features a non-handed design, meaning it can be fitted to windows that open to the left or to the right.
What is the 'turn-first' compatibility?
This feature refers to an invertible backplate that allows the handle to be fitted to older window systems that may have had different spindle configurations.
What is included in the package?
The package typically includes the Greenteq Alpha window handle, screws for installation, snap-fit cover caps, and a key for the deadlock function.
How long will the handle last?
The handle is built for robust and reliable daily operation and comes with a 20-year surface guarantee, indicating a high level of durability.
Is this handle suitable for external doors?
No, this handle is specifically designed for tilt & turn casement windows, not for external doors.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Check for any obstructions in the window mechanism or frame. Ensure the window is fully closed and aligned correctly. Lubricate the spindle with a suitable silicone-based spray if necessary.
Key will not turn or lock the handle
Ensure the window is fully closed and latched. Check that the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. There may be an obstruction within the lock cylinder; consult a professional if persists.
Window does not tilt or open correctly
Verify that the handle is compatible with your existing tilt & turn window system. Ensure the gearbox and spindle are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Seek professional assistance if the window mechanism is damaged.
Handle does not return to the original position
Check that the internal mechanism is not binding. Ensure no debris is preventing free movement. If the issue is persistent, the handle or gearbox may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This handle is suitable for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium tilt & turn casement windows. It is specifically designed to be compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO T&T systems. The 'turn-first' compatible backplate also aids integration with older installations.
