A non-handed actuator for window locks of the type in which a lock control member is moved by the actuator to control the locking of a window sash to a window frame. The actuator includes a housing base that is securable to the window frame and a handle is secured to the base for pivoting about a first axis and a drive link is secured for pivoting with the handle. A connecting link is securable at its distal end to the lock control member of a window lock. The connecting link is pivotally secured at its proximal end to the drive link. The connecting link is provided as a selectable pair which are generally a mirror image of each other, one provided and dimensioned for right-hand operation of the lock control member and the other provided for left-hand operation of a lock control. The unneeded connecting link is discarded. The connecting links are generally L-shaped so that the proximal end of the connecting link is received in a cavity provided in the base. A pivot pin pivotally connects the connecting link to the drive link and the cavity within the housing base is dimensioned for retaining and confining this connection without the need for additional mechanical securement.
