You will have to know your current handle's length of the spindle and its fixings before you replace it. The best method to do this is to look at the base of the handle you have previously replaced.

Handle

Over time, uPVC window handles and locks can become damaged due to wear and tear, or accidental or intentional damage. This could mean that the handle or lock becomes difficult to open or close, or it isn't locked in any way. If this occurs, it might be tempting to replace the whole window unit, but it's not always necessary. Most of the time, it's the scenario that a replacement handle or lock is sufficient.

The espagnolette style is the most popular uPVC window handle. This has a spindle which is affixed to the handle and is inserted into a gearbox that controls the multipoint locking mechanism inside the window. It's important to match the appropriate handle and lock to your windows to ensure that they work correctly. That's why we have a wide variety of replacement handles for all types of uPVC windows.

It's a good idea to replace the uPVC handle, to use screw covers to protect the screws from rust and ensure they remain secure. You can also employ a washer, spacer or other sealant to ensure a tighter fit. A screw cap will stop water and debris getting into the handle, causing damage.

Once the handle has been removed from the window it's an ideal idea to scrub the spindle of the new handle, and also the threaded section of the bolt. This will make sure that the new handle is fitted and functions correctly, and can also help stop dirt from getting into the multipoint lock.

We suggest that you take measurements of the hole spacings on your frame prior to purchasing any hinges made of upvc to ensure that they are the right dimensions.

Alternatively, you can take a measurement of the length of the spindle on your existing handle to find out what size you will need to get a replacement.
