Tips For Replacing a Window Handle

Switching your window handle is a simple project that can be completed in the convenience of your own home. Follow these tips to ensure an elegant and smooth finish.

Start by removing the screws to expose the screws inside your uPVC window handle. Measure the spindle's length to ensure you get the correct size replacement.

1. Measure the Spindle Length

When you're replacing a window handle it's crucial to determine the size of the spindle right. It could affect the tightness or looseness of the handle as well as whether the handle locks correctly into the frame of the window. The spindle is a metallic shaft that connects the handle to the lock inside the window frame. The spindle could be a standard industry 8mm cross-section or older 9mm versions. Modern industry standards are 8mm but it wasn't always that way. It is important to verify the measurements prior to purchasing a new handle.

Take the handle off. This is easily done by turning the handle into the open position, then unwinding two screws that hold the handle in place (which are often concealed behind plastic caps that must be removed). Once removed measure from the base of the handle until the end of the spindle. This will provide you with the measurements needed to purchase a new one.

There are many options when you're looking to select the right window handle. From sleek chrome that can fit in with a modern style, to traditional bronze with a burnished finish that looks stunning in restored Georgian rooms, or the more traditional Tudor Cottages with curled mongoose-tail latches. The options are endless but the most important thing to do is select a style that is suitable for your home.

Espag handles are usually used to uPVC window frames and are always the same size with a 43mm central. Cockspur handles range between 58mm and 62mm, but there are replacements for both sizes. Window handles from Cadenza are a different size since they have an angled blade that operates with a multi-point locking mechanism within the window.

Another consideration when selecting a new window handle is knowing what hand you will need to use. This is determined by the hand you use to open the bifold door handles (writes in the official opensourcebridge.science blog). Inline Espag window handles aren't handed and can be utilized for left or right handed windows. Cranked window handles are handed and can only be used on windows that open in one direction.

The handle is connected to a spindle in the window frame. Based on the type the handle is secured by a screw or pin. The most popular types of handles are inline Espagnolette handles and cockspur handles. Both kinds of handles are available on casement windows, as well as aluminium ones. The handles can be locked by using a key to prevent unauthorised access from the outside. Or you can lock the handles by turning them clockwise.

To remove the handle you will need a flat-bladed screwdriver. After the clip has been released, the handle should slide off the spindle. After the handle has been removed, you will need to measure the length of the spindle in order to make sure that the new handle is compatible with this measurement.

Once you have the correct size, you can fix the new handle into the correct position. It is important to ensure that the new handle is securely secured and that it is turning the correct way (clockwise for open and counterclockwise for closed). It is important to ensure that the handle has not been placed upside down.

Then, you must replace the screw cap caps. After you've completed this step, you are able to test your handle to make sure it's functioning properly. Also, you should test the locking mechanism by moving the handle to the locked position, and then back again.

After you have removed the handle, you'll need to remove the screws that secured it. The screws are typically located on the inside of the handle base. You may need to use a screwdriver for this and it's important that you don't over tighten the screw as this could cause the handle to loosen.
