Replacing a Upvc Window Handle is a fairly straight forward task once you have identified a few key bits of information.

First you need to know if the handle is cranked and straight, the area near the key hole will be "cranked on a cranked handle" as demonstrated in our video below.

Next if the handle is cranked you need to know if its a left or right handle, this is essentially the way the handle points. This should be obvious when looking at the handle straight on.

The size of the handle is important too:

  • Straight handles can be 15mm, 30mm, 40mm and 55mm
  • Cranked handles can be 40mm, 30mm and 15mm

Finally for both straight and cranked handles you simply need to know the spindle length (the long spindle on the back which goes in to your window) - we find that people have sometimes lost the existing spindle, so if you are unsure simply purchase the longest spindle length and cut it down to size with a hacksaw.

In the video below we attempted to showcase the information above, so you have a visual guide to help you purchase the correct Upvc Window handle to replace your existing handle.
