Prime-Line H 3557 Jalousie Operator, Reversible, With Three Link Arms, Aluminum Finish (Single Pack)

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.

My old window cranks finally broke after 40+ years of abuse. These were a perfect fit and solved the problem. They were also very reasonably priced. A bit of a fiddly job requiring simple tools and some manual dexterity, but doable. Make sure you accurately measure your existing hardware and compare to the mechanical drawing provided online by the manufacturer.

Well built and good quality, but I wish the stud that came with it to connect the link from the operator to the internal link that moves the glass slats was longer. It was too short to allow the e-clip that snaps onto the stud to hold it all together. I had to get a Dremel tool with a grinder wheel and grind down the thickness of the operator link to get the e-ring to snap into the slot on the stud

Fitment is spot on and with the 3 different length bars its super easy to choose the right one. Cheaper than Home Depot and Lowes by $5.00. Well worth it!

They were exactly what we needed, and fit perfectly. Had to replace 5. The first one was a little awkward to replace, but by the time the last one was being replaced, it was very smooth. We did find them cheaper (product plus shipping was about $2.50 ea. cheaper) through a few other vendors, but we didn't want to wait.

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

The handle on one of our jalousie windows quit working, and I wasn't too hopeful about finding a replacement that fit. I was thinking we would probably just have to get new windows, which I didn't want to do because I LOVE the look and vibe of our two jalousie windows. I ran across these and ordered one and it fit and works perfectly! My husband and I, neither of which are adept at this sort of thing, managed to figure it out and install it in about 20 minutes. I just ordered another one for our other window. A big plus is that it works for both the left and right side. Not to mention, it looks great. Problem solved!

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 !
