This product could use more detailed installation instructions. Had to use images and videos from the internet to install.

Not high quality. Made in India.

Comments:

Very disappointing product. Expected high quality steel construction in a design exactly the same as original transom operator hardware. What arrived was broken and made of mostly brittle pot metal parts. Not the strong simple design I expected. Returned.

I would buy again only if I received instructions

Comments:

with how much i paid for the transom operator, you would think that they could come up with better instructions on how to put it together. the only instructions were a drawing of the transom hooked up to the window. looks like it was made by a 12 year old.

Who has transoms anymore!? It's difficult to find hardware for such antiquated details. Luckily I found these.
