Replacement Handles For Windows

Window handles are among the most frequently used elements of your double-glazed windows. As time passes, they may get rusty or worn out.

You will need to know the current handle's spindle length as well as its fixings in order to replace it. This can be done by examining the base of the previous handle.

Handle

Over time uPVC handles and window locks are susceptible to damage due to wear and tear or accidental or deliberate damage. It could be that the lock or handle becomes difficult to close or open or not even locked. If this occurs, it might be tempting to replace the entire window unit, but this isn't always the case. Most of the time, it's the case that a replacement handle or lock will suffice.

The most popular type of uPVC window handle is the espagnolette. It has a spindle that protrudes from the handle and is inserted into a gearbox that operates the multipoint locking mechanism inside the window. It is essential to match the right handle and lock to your windows to ensure that they work properly, which is why we stock a wide range of replacement handles for all kinds of uPVC windows.

When replacing a uPVC window handle, it's a good idea to use screw cap caps to cover the screws to keep the screws secure and shield them from corrosion. You can also employ a washer, spacer or other sealant to ensure a tighter fit. Having a screw cap in place will also prevent water and debris from getting into the handle and cause damage.

After taking the handle out of the window, it's an ideal idea to clean both the spindle as well as the threaded portion of the bolt. This will ensure that the new bi-fold doors handle is fitted and functions well, and it will also help to stop dirt from entering the multipoint lock.

The next step is to install the new uPVC handle. It is important to read the instructions that come with the new handle and look at your previous one to get a better idea of how to do it. The process is usually quite simple. However, if you experience any problems along the way that aren't covered in this article, it's best to get in touch with our team for more advice.

This is due to plumb windows being capable of avoiding binding options. The operating sash is aligned with the frame, and the window will open and close in a proper manner.
