Tips For Replacing a Window bifold door handle replacement

Switching your window handle is a simple task that can be completed in the convenience of your own home. Follow these handy tips for an easy operation and a beautiful looking finish.

Start by removing the screw covers to expose the screws within the uPVC window handle. Make sure you measure the spindle in order to make sure you are getting the correct size replacement.

1. Measure the Spindle Length

When you're replacing a window handle, it's important to determine the dimensions of the spindle correctly. This is because it will determine how tight or loose the handle is, and whether it's able to lock properly in the window frame. The spindle is a metal shaft that connects the handle to the lock inside the frame of the window. The spindle can be either a standard 8mm cross-section in the industry or the earlier 9mm versions. The modern industry standard is 8mm but this was not always the case so when buying a new handle it is essential to verify the dimensions.

The easiest way to measure the spindle length is to remove the existing handle and this can be done by turning it into the open position and unscrewing the two screws (which might be hidden behind plastic caps that will need to be removed) that retain the handle. After removing the handle, measure from the base of the handle until the end of the spindle. This will provide you with the measurements required to buy a new one.

There are plenty of choices when it comes to choosing a new window handle, from sleek chrome that blends in with a modern home, to traditional burnished brass that looks wonderful in restored Georgian rooms or even the more classic Tudor cottages with curled monkey tail latches!

Espag handles are usually fitted to uPVC windows and are identical in size, with 43mm centres (2 fixings). Cockspur handles are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 58mm up to 62mm. Cadenza window handles have a different size because they have an bent blade that is used to operate the multi-point lock mechanism within the window.

Another aspect to consider when selecting the best window handle is knowing what hand you will need to use, which is defined by what hand you use to open the sliding door handles.

You can lock the handles with a key to block access by unauthorised persons from the outside. You can also lock the handles by turning them clockwise.
