Spindle is the square metal bar that runs from the back of the handle to the lock mechanism. It must be located before you can replace the handle. Usually, it is held in place by screws or pins, which can be removed with a screwdriver. Before you remove the old handle, you should wipe down the area it is fixed to the window frame using a damp cloth. This will make the process of removing the handle a lot easier.

Once you have located the fixing screws or pins, you can remove them from the window frame and the handle. You can then slide the new handle into place and screw it in. Make sure that the holes for screws on the handle and window frame are in alignment. It is also recommended to replace any screw cover caps that are missing.

Window handles come in a variety of styles and sizes, but the key feature is that they're made to work with the same type of espagnolette bolts used on uPVC and timber windows. This makes it easy to upgrade your windows by replacing the handles with a more modern design. There are tilt and turn handles that are in compliance with Secure by Design requirements.

Window handles can make a significant difference to the overall appearance of windows. The choice of a handle for windows is a delicate task. Handles come in a range of styles, materials and finishes. It is essential to choose one that matches the style of your window. It's also important to consider what kind of window you have, since certain styles may not work with other styles.

Espag handles are usually found on uPVC windows and are available in two options that are in-line and cranked. In-line handles are straight and will turn left or right and these are sometimes called universal window handles. Cranked handles are left or right-handed and feature a small curved piece on the back.

You'll need a handle that is compatible with windows that tilt and turn. They are similar to espagnolette handles but have an oval spindle in the rear which sits in the gear box within the lock mechanism. The diameter of the spindle is typically 7mm but you can also find handles with a greater cross-section for timber windows.

When choosing a handle, you must also take into consideration the height of the step. This is the distance from the top of the nose of the handle to the frame, and it is crucial to determine this correctly.

It's time to test your new handle. This can be accomplished using the Javascript executor to navigate and click various web elements on a page. Particularly, you'll need to use the window handle function which collects all handles on a browser and then prints them out.
