Window handles are an essential component of your windows and are available in a variety of different styles to fit with the look of your home. The handles are designed to give you a an easy mechanism that lets you open and close your single or double glazed window handle windows. However, over time, the handles can become brittle due to constant usage and exposure to elements. They may break or begin to behave erratically as a result.

Replacing uPVC window handles is generally a simple task but it's vital to ensure that you're using the correct type of handle and size to ensure your window is secure and that the new handle is functioning properly. The spindle on your current handle is the most crucial aspect to take into consideration. The spindle is the link between the handle with the locking mechanism inside the frame. If the spindle is either too either short or long, it will not be able to reach the lock. The window won't perform as it should.

To determine the right spindle length needed for your new handle you must remove the handle and remove the screws which hold it in place. Once the handle is removed make note of how far of the spindle extends from the base of the handle. You can then compare this to the new handle you're looking to buy online or in-store. This will allow you to ensure that the new handle is the right step height to operate your uPVC window properly. This can have serious safety consequences for your home, and can lead to windows that are locked and can't be opened.

If you have more recent espag handle designs (a hybrid of an espagnolette and a cockspur) they will be 41mm wide.

In order to make sure that the new handles are the correct size, start by measuring the handle base's height and length to determine the spindle size that it needs. Measure the distance between mounting holes to ensure that your handle will fit comfortably and secure once it is fitted. It is also necessary to determine the lever length to ensure that the handle is comfortable to hold while it is opened and closed.

The spindle is a steel bar that runs through the middle of the handle and connects to the lock mechanism in the window frame. There are three primary types of uPVC handles that have spindles that include inline espagnolette handles, cockspur handles as well as tilt and turn handles. Each type has a different way to secure the spindle with either a screw or a pin.

Inline espagnolette handles typically have a square shaped spindle with an attached screw that fits into the hole of the handle. The screw is tightened to secure the spindle and the handle. Cockspur handles are made of a hook design and are secured by a single screw. These are commonly found on older uPVC Windows. Tilt and turn handles have a unique design that allows them to function as both a tilt and turn that allows the window to be opened completely.
