A window handle, also known as a window lever, window olive, or simply olive, is a lever used for opening, tilting, and closing windows. In its default position (0°), as well as in various angled positions (e.g., 90° for opening/turning the window; 180° for tilting the window), the window handle locks into place.

Characteristics of a Window Handle

Window handles are made of metal, plastic, or a combination of both, with metal window handles proving to be the most resistant to weather influences. A distinction is also made between single-arm and double-arm window handles, although they differ only in appearance and do not provide different functionalities.

There are also window handles with safety features designed for child protection and burglary prevention. Window handles with push buttons protect children by making it more difficult for them to open windows independently, as the opening mechanism becomes more complex. Window handles with locks also serve as child safety devices and additionally provide solid burglary protection.
