Blind Annoyance

Blinds and shutters can be a practical alternative to curtains, simple and easy to install with a few basic tools. Their ease of operation make them ideal for most windows except those which require a handle to crank them open. The handle gets in the way of shutters or catches the bottom of the blinds which is annoying and can reduce the privacy factor. The solution for most home owners is to remove the handle, which solves the issue until you want to open the window, or worse yet the removed handles cannot be found. There is a simple solution available from most hardware stores, the Butterfly crank handle, short and stubby it does not stick out and catch on your window treatments like the handles. They are available in a range of colors to match the original hardware.
