Types of Manual Window Openers
Manual Winding Gear:
A manual winding system, often referred to as Teleflex winding gear is a popular option for single or multiple windows which are either at high level or hard to reach.
This kit is typically a manual chain opener on the window, connected by conduit and a cable to an operating handle within reach. Most popular applications are in schools or DDA adaptations where electric isn’t an option. Read more
Folding Openers (Cam Stays):
These are another popular option for manual window control, these are typically cheaper that the Teleflex style systems and don’t require running conduit.
Cam stays are basically a hinged arm which you either hook a pole into if they are at high level or push with your hand if they are at low level, these openers are for window on a vertical wall and will open a fixed distance. Read More

Screw Jack openers, are a threaded rod which you window with a pole or handle if these are low level. Most often used in conservatories, screwjacks are designed for use on skylights and roof vents on a pitched or flat roof.
