After the handle is removed, make note of how far of the spindle extends to the base of the handle and compare it to the new handle you're looking to purchase online or in-store. This will allow you to make sure that the new handle has the correct step height to operate your uPVC window properly.

It is important to choose the appropriate handle, not only for its function but also for its appearance. With a range of sizes and shapes, finishes and styles available it is possible to find the perfect match for your interior design scheme and complement your windows.

In terms of identifying your uPVC window handles there are a few standard sizes and types you'll likely encounter when replacing the handles. This is especially true with the older cockspur handles which typically mean that they measure 38mm across the centre fixing positions unless you have the more modern espag handles (a hybrid of a cockspur and an espagnolette) which are typically 41mm across the center fixing positions.

In order to ensure that your replacement handles are of the correct size, start by measuring the base's length and height to determine the size of spindle that it requires. Then, measure the distance between the mounting holes to ensure that the new handle is a snug fit and will be secure when fitted. Also, you will need to determine the length of the lever so that your handle is comfortable to hold when it is open and closed. Fortunately, a lot of modern handle designs have a built-in adjustable spindle lengths that reduce confusion and make the whole process much simpler and easier. For instance our Secustik handle with VarioFit allows you to change the length of the adjustable lever according to your requirements.

Identifying the Spindle Length

It is crucial to determine the type of handle that you are using, since not all uPVC knobs are the same. You may require tightening the screw loose upvc window handle, or replace window handles the handle altogether. Once the correct type has been determined, you'll have to determine the length of the spindle on the handle you have. This will help you get the correct replacement and ensure an ideal fit.

The spindle is a metallic bar that runs through the middle of the handle and connects to the lock mechanism in the window frame. There are three types of uPVC handles that have spindles that include inline espagnolette handles as well as cockspur handles, tilt and turn handles. Each handle type has a distinct method to secure the spindle, either using a screw or pin.

Inline espagnolette handles usually use a square shaped spindle with an attached screw that fits into the hole of the handle. The screw is tightened to secure the spindle and the handle. Cockspur handles are hook-shaped, and secured with one screw. They are typically found on older uPVC Windows. The unique design of the handles for tilt and turn permits them to be used as tilt and turn handles that allows the window to fully open.

When you measure the spindle of your window handle, it is crucial to be precise because this will allow you to find the right replacement. Take the length of the handle with the ruler and record the measurements. Once you have your measurement, you can compare it against the list of sizes provided by the uPVC handle manufacturer. If you are having trouble finding the right replacement, it is advisable to consult a specialist double glazing business for help.

Identifying the Screws or Pins

Over time, window handles can begin to show signs of wear and tear. It's evident when the handle breaks, or is more subtle when the lock stops being able to be opened easily. It's important to replace the handle as fast as you can, regardless of the way it breaks. This will keep your windows in good order and secure.

Remove the handle that was previously used from its frame. Be cautious when doing this, as you'll need to be careful not to damage the surrounding area. After the handle is removed, you'll need to remove any screws or pins that hold it in place. The next step is to align the holes on the handle with holes in the base or frame. After you have lined them up you can screw the handle in place.

Before you buy a new handle, make sure it has the correct spindle length. This is essential since if the handle is too small, it won't be enough to reach the lock within the window. To determine the proper length of the spindle, it is necessary to push an object of thin size, such as a needle into the base of the handle and then measure the depth of the square pin.

If you're replacing an older uPVC handle, you'll also be required to know the step height. This is the distance from the base of the handle to where the spindle is placed in the window frame. Different sizes of steps have been used in the past, and it's important to measure this before purchasing a new handle to ensure that it will fit properly.
