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.
What does 'dual-action operation' mean?
It means the handle can perform two distinct functions: a secure tilt (hopper-style) ventilation and a full inward opening for cleaning or egress, all controlled by the handle's rotation.
Is this handle suitable for homes with children?
Yes, it features a 'tilt-safe' function that prevents the window from opening fully when tilted, providing an essential safety measure for child safety.
Which brands of tilt & turn systems is it compatible with?
It is compatible with AGB, Roto, Siegenia, and MACO tilt & turn systems.
Does the handle come with screws for installation?
Yes, installation screws and snap-fit cover caps are included with the handle.
How do I clean and maintain the handle?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stiff mechanisms, use graphite lubricant sparingly.
What is the warranty or guarantee on this product?
The product boasts a 20-year surface guarantee for durability and finish.
Can this handle be used on both left and right-opening windows?
Yes, the handle is non-handed, meaning it can be fitted to both left- and right-opening windows.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the moving parts and the lock cylinder. Check for proper alignment with the gearbox if recently installed.
Window does not tilt or open correctly.
Verify that the handle is in the correct position for the desired action (tilt or open). Ensure the handle is fully compatible with your window's specific tilt and turn mechanism. Check that the gearbox or lock mechanism on the window itself is functioning correctly.
Key will not lock or unlock the handle.
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Check the lock cylinder for any obstructions. If the issue persists, the internal lock mechanism may require adjustment or replacement.
Handle does not return to the 'locked' or 'tilt' position.
The internal spring mechanism may be damaged or worn. Inspect the handle's internal components for visible damage. If damage is found, the handle may need to be replaced.

Compatibility:

Care:
To maintain the handle's finish and operation:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface.
- For the locking mechanism, occasionally use a graphite-based lubricant if stiffness occurs, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt. Ensure the key operates smoothly.
- The handle is corrosion-resistant, but regular cleaning will prolong its aesthetic appeal and functional life.
