After the handle has been removed you can replace it with a new one, ensuring that it is secure and matches the style of your window.

When choosing a new window handle, take into consideration the material and the size of the spindle. The spindle is a square piece of wood protruding from the base handle. This measurement is essential to ensure the replacement glass for a window will fit properly. This can be done by pressing a small object such as a needle into the base handle to determine the depth of the square pin. Once you have the number, you can choose a replacement that fits your window perfectly.

There are a number of different types of uPVC window handles, some of which are specific to the type of window they're used on. For example Espag handles can be found on tilt and turn windows, while Cockspur handles are usually found on uPVC casement or awning windows. Other types of uPVC windows handles include monkey tail handles as well as blade or spade handles.

Regardless of the type of handle you pick it is essential to pay attention to step height. This is the distance from the base of the handle to the frame in which it is mounted. This will let you select a handle which will fit in your window and will be simple to open and close. This information can be found on the site of the manufacturer or by looking at photos of the handle.

Style

The type of window handle you pick will be determined by the style of your existing windows as well as your personal preferences. There are a myriad of window handles, but certain types are more suited to particular window frames or come with additional security features. For example, a lockable window handle lets you lock your windows using keys and is perfect for high-rise flats. A lift rail handle can be used to "crank" open windows with awning and casement styles.

Choosing the correct replacement handle is a straightforward process, as long as you are aware of how your windows are set up and the dimensions of their frame. First, you must determine the size of your existing handle and then look for a matching one online or at the local store. The length of the handle's spindle is also an important factor to consider, since it will determine the position of the lock. You will want to ensure the handle is in the same place as the one you have currently.

There are a variety of uPVC handles for windows. The most common are Espag and Cockspur handles, which come with an elongated spindle that is protruding from the back of the handle and locks into the window's locking mechanism. Other popular designs include tilt and turn handles, spade handles and blade handles.

To replace your uPVC handle, open your window and remove the cap which covers the screws that hold it in place. After you have removed the screws, carefully disassemble your window handle, crank arm, and gearbox to expose the fixing screws. Once you have the screws out, remove your old handle and place your new handle in the same place.

Mechanism for locking

This part of the handle is connected to a multi-point locking mechanism attached around the window. This makes it harder for burglars to break into your home, and can be an effective deterrent because they are less likely to manipulate the handle and lock to secure it.

It's not necessary to remove the entire window frame if can replace the handle and lock. It depends on the type of mechanism that your windows employ. If your uPVC windows have espagnolette locks, it's easy for any home-based DIYer to replace the handle and handle and still have a functioning multipoint locking system.

There are many different types of espagnolette locks. Each has its own mechanism to make them work. The most popular type of espagnolette lock is called the espag handle. It is fitted with a square spindle at the back, which slides into the mushroom-shaped receivers of the window frame as the handle is rotated.

Another type of handle is the casement latch, which works a bit like a door chain lock. They are typically positioned on top of the frame or sash of the window and connect two parts to stop them from being opened too large. They are also fairly easy to replace, although it is essential to make sure that you get a precise replacement for your handle and window latch.

Another type of window latch is the window pin lock, that is affixed to the sash and functions by stopping the sash from moving too far. This kind of lock might not be as secure as the casement latch, but it does provide adequate security. It is also an easy fix for the broken handle.

When choosing a new handle and lock for your uPVC windows it is crucial to measure the length of the spindle. This will allow you to choose a replacement that fits the window in the right way. Consider whether you prefer the cranked handle that opens only one way, or a handle inline that can be operated in either way.

Installation

Over time the handles on your windows might start to show signs that they need to be replaced. It's obvious when the handle cracks or becomes difficult to turn. It can also be subtle, like when it's no longer locking easily. It does not matter how you determine the need to replace your window handles. You must protect yourself and your family from harm.

Check that the handle will fit your windows before purchasing it. It is particularly important to examine the measurements of the uPVC handle prior to replacing it. Different types may have slightly different measurements, which may cause your handle not to function or appear to be just right in your window. It is also important to determine if the handle on your window is suitable specifically designed for a casement or awning style of window since different variations are designed specifically for each style of window.

Installing the window handle is easy once you've identified the type you need. First, you'll need remove the old handle from your window. To do this, you'll have to remove the screw from the base of the handle. Then, you'll need to remove the cap of the screw on top of the handle and pull off the handle that was previously used. Then, you'll have to place the new handle on top and secure it with pins or screws.

Depending on the type of handle you have it is important to determine whether you require a right or left-handed version. Inline espagnolette handles are universal and don't need to be the same hand as your existing one, but older uPVC handles that require handing will have a predetermined step height (the distance between the apex of the handle to the base or frame) and you'll need ensure that the new handle has the same height of step.

After putting the new window handle in, you'll need to test it to be sure it's functioning properly. This can be done by turning the handle in order to activate the locking mechanism, and then checking that it is locked securely. If it's locked, you're ready to enjoy your new window handle!
