The handle is locked into this position and requires a key to unlock it when needed.
This kind of handle can be easily replaced, as it has only one large handle, and not several smaller ones. This can reduce the overall appearance of the handle and is more in line with the modern minimalistic design trends. They are also much easier to clean since they are able to open inwards.
They are also 4 to 8 times stronger than a casement window. This makes them ideal for larger windows and doors. The frames are also made of steel, which increases the durability and strength.
The tilt-and-turn mechanism is more secure than a casement because the handle can be locked in any position. This is particularly crucial in areas where children may reside, as it will prevent children from opening the window.

In contrast to other types of handles, a crank window's mechanism and handle are often subjected to significant wear and tear that can cause the gears strip and the handle to stop working or fall off of the operator shaft. Regularly inspecting the handle as well as the mechanism for operating it will ensure they remain in good shape for many years.
A crank handle is made up of a mechanical shaft which rotates perpendicularly and is attached to an arm. The arm is operated by gripping it and turning it in a circular motion similar to how you operate a pencil sharpener. In certain applications, the handle may be leg-operated.
