FAQs
What types of windows is this handle suitable for?
The Greenteq Alpha handle is designed for PVC-u, timber, and aluminium tilt & turn casement windows.
Does this handle come with a key?
Yes, the handle includes a key for its deadlock and child-safe functions.
Is the handle suitable for both left and right-handed windows?
Yes, it features a non-handed design, making it suitable for both left- and right-opening windows.
What is the 'tilt-safe' function?
The tilt-safe function allows the window to be opened inwards only to a ventilation gap, preventing it from opening fully. This enhances child safety.
How many locking positions does the handle have?
The handle offers 14 settings, including unlocked, tilt-safe, and fully locked modes.
What is the warranty on the surface finish?
The handle comes with a 20-year surface guarantee.
Can I use this handle with any tilt & turn system?
It is widely compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO T&T systems. It is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific window hardware.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and the window mechanism is free from debris. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the spindle and mechanism.
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 T&T mechanism itself is functioning correctly and is compatible with the handle.
Key does not engage or disengage the lock.
Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly. Check that the lock cylinder is properly aligned with the handle mechanism and is not obstructed.
Tilt-safe function does not prevent full opening.
Confirm the handle is correctly engaged in the 'tilt-safe' position. Ensure the window mechanism has not been tampered with and is designed to work with this safety feature.
