Question

ok i just moved into a new house and i have crank windows. unfortunately, some of them are in need of repair and i can't find who made them. am i looking in teh right spots? is there somebody i can ask thats a pro(without the sales pitch).

thanks for the help

i took the crank off and found p4601 and then a symbol that is a hextagon with Mg on teh inside. does this mean anything?

Answer 1

What you have is a common crank with a common manufacturer. High end windows (Anderson, Pella, etc.) will have their name etched in the glass in tempered, or safety, windows. These windows are found low to the ground or next to doors. Otherwise, you will need to glean this info from your contractor. If he is unhelpful, try a local window or glass company. Typically they will be able to tell you who the manufacturer is and what the trouble may be.

Answer 3

This is a new construction home? Go ask your builder for the info, and cross your fingers they installed them correctly so that the manufacturer’s warranty is valid.  

Answer 4

The nameof the company should be etched on the glass, most likey in the bottom right corner.

In not there then take the window out and it should be listed on the inside frame.
