1. Measure the Spindle Length

When you're replacing a window handle, it's important to get the size of the spindle right. This is because it could affect how tight or loose the handle is, and whether it will lock correctly inside the frame of the window. The spindle is the steel shaft that connects the handle and to the lock in the window frame. The spindle can be found in the standard 8mm cross-section for industry or the more traditional 9mm versions. The modern industry standard is 8mm, but this was not always the case so when purchasing a new handle, it is important to check the measurements.

Take the handle off. This is easily done by turning the handle to the open position and taking off two screws that hold the handle in place (which are usually hidden behind plastic caps which are required to be removed). After the handle is removed, take a measurement from the base to the end. This will give you the measurements needed to purchase a replacement.

There are a variety of options when you are looking to pick a new window handle. From sleek chrome that will fit into modern homes to traditional bronze with a burnished finish that looks stunning in restored Georgian rooms, or even the more quaint Tudor cottages with curled mongoose-tail latches. The options are endless but the most important thing to do is choose a style that complements your home.

Espag handles are usually fitted to uPVC windows and are always identical in size with 43mm centres (2 fixings). Cockspur handles range from 58mm to 62mm but there are replacements for both sizes. Window handles made of Cadenza have an entirely different dimension due to their angle blade that operates the multi-point lock mechanism within the window.

Another factor when choosing the right window handle is knowing what hand you require to use. This is determined by what hand you use to open the door. Inline Espag window handles aren't handed and can be utilized for left or right handed windows. Cranked window handles are handed and are only used on windows that open in one direction.

The most commonly used types of handles are inline Espagnolette handles and the cockspur handles. Both of these types of handles are utilized on casement windows, as well as aluminium windows. The handles can be locked with a key to prevent unauthorised access from the outside. Or you can lock the handles by turning them clockwise.

To take the handle off, you will need a flat-bladed screwdriver. Once the clip is released, the handle will be able to slide off the spindle. When the handle is removed, you will be required to measure the length of the spindle to ensure that your new handle is compatible with this measurement.

Once you have determined the proper size of the handle, you can screw it into the correct position. It is essential to make sure that the handle is properly attached and that it rotates in the correct direction (clockwise when the handle is open or counterclockwise if the handle is closed). It is also important to check that it isn't fitted upside down.

Replace the screw caps. Once you've completed this step, you should test the handle to make sure it is working correctly. You can also test the locking mechanism by shifting the handle from the unlocked position to the locked and back.
