Switching your window handles for wooden windows handles made of upvc is a relatively easy process that requires just a few tools and steps. To ensure a successful replacement, first identify the handle type and determine the spindle size.

Espag handles

Espag handles are a common option for upvc and timber frames. They are designed to be used with espagnolette multipoint locking systems. The handle features a 7mm square shaft that extends out from the back. It is then placed into the gearbox for a multipoint locking system inside the window. They are available in a variety sizes of spindles. This is because every type of window handle is connected to a different multipoint locking system with a an entirely different arrangement and position of the gearbox.

It could be any length from 10mm up to 55mm. The length is the one that is visible when the handle is in its original, unbroken condition. You'll need to measure this when buying a new handle as the spindle drives the lock within the window.

Certain manufacturers are now offering magnetic espag handles, which eliminate the requirement to cut the spindle into a size. This may make it easier to fit the process because it is quicker and simpler to remove a replacement and insert another. However, it is recommended to take the time to measure the length of the spindle because this will ensure smooth operation of the handle.
