Another kind of handle is the casement latch which functions a bit like a door chain lock. These are usually mounted on top of the window frame or sash, and work by locking together two parts of the window to ensure that they are not opened too wide. They are also simple to replace. However it is essential that you get the exact replacement window for the handle and window latch.

The window pin lock is a final kind of latch. It is affixed to the sash, and it works by preventing sash movement. This kind of lock isn't as secure as a latch with a casement, but it does offer high levels of security and is a easy replacement for a broken window handle.

To accomplish this, you'll need to unscrew the screw from the base of the handle. You'll then have to remove the screw cap from the handle. Then, you'll need to secure the new handle with screws or pins.
