Prime-Line Jalousie Window Operator, Aluminum

Function perfectly! Durable!

This worked. No modification required . Just replaced the 1950’s -era one that finally stripped out its gear . Holds the windows panes shut tight . Just don’t overdo it on cranking !

Fits well, and functions well. I like the wingnut style handle; this is a better design than the cranks of the original units. Four stars because there’s a bit of “play” in the mechanism; it doesn’t feel very tight or solid as you crank it. But it does work just fine, and if you need a replacement, it’s the way to go.

Perfectly interchangeable. Good action.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed and was easy to install.

Our front door is twenty-five years old. During the months when the weather allows, we enjoy the air that flows through the glass louvers. Periodically the cranks fail so without them the window remains closed until replacement cranks can be purchased. Over the years the cranks purchased always seem to be of the same quality . . . these jalousie operators are manufactured in Taiwan. Installation requires patience and sometimes it's necessary to modify the assemblage. Never the less, the end result is the crank operators work, perhaps not as efficiently as the originals but they do open and close the louvres as expected. The price of a new jalousie window door has never been a consideration as these cranks are suitable replacements for the originals. We keep additional new cranks on hand just in case one is needed. Also one never knows if the manufacture of these essential louver operators comes to an end. After all these years of enjoyment the door would not serve our fresh air needs anymore. Pleased to know companies continue to make them . . . only wish they were made int the USA.

Fits and works as advertised, way cheaper than buying identical item locally

Your mileage may vary, but for my case this product turned what should’ve been a two-minute install into one that took half an hour and a trip to Home Depot. Unfortunately for me, this product only mostly fits my window. The included screws were just a shy too thick so I had to buy new screws at Home Depot. Also, and worst of all, the pin connecting the two arms was wider than the gap to insert the crank. This meant that I couldn’t put the crank together first; I had to put it all together while it while inserted into the opening. This made installation extremely difficult as I had to also use pliers to attach the retaining clip. In such a narrow space, I’m surprised I was able to do it at all. Finally installed, the crank does work, but the window doesn’t open as fully as my original ones. So ultimately it works, but installation (for my case) was a real pain. I won’t be buying this one again for the other windows I have, especially the ones higher up.
