They are also available with reeded and reede handles, to suit both modern and traditional styles. The term “cranked” refers to a lever design that is a little further away from the handleframe which allows for a larger space between the window frame and the hand when operating. This can be an advantage when the handles of the old ones were located close to the frame's edge making them difficult to manipulate. The cranked designs are available as left handed or right handed versions based on the orientation of the windows they are replaced on.
