Inline espagnolette handles are secured with two screws and are used on older double-glazed uPVC windows.

They can help reduce view lines of modern windows and are available in a range of shades. It is crucial to measure the spindle of a cranked handle prior to installing it to avoid future issues.

Espag window handles are found on uPVC windows. They function in a similar way to cranked handles. The major difference between these two kinds is that espag handles feature a spindle that is a mental component on the back of the handle that controls the internal window mechanisms.

Espag handles are usually utilized in combination with a central locking mechanism and can be used to open and close the window from either side. For windows without a central locking system tilt and turn window handles may be employed. They are usually found in high rise flats. They are used for opening and closing the window but they can also be an excellent choice for sliding patio doors.

When choosing an alternative handle, you'll have to take into consideration the step height and the length of the spindle. The step height is the distance between the handle's base and the point where it engages the window frame. This measurement can differ from one manufacturer to the next and therefore it is important to check the old handles for the step height.

A common mistake is to purchase an handle that is the same size as the previous one, but with the wrong blade length. If you are using an angle-shaped blade instead of flat, the handle can break or it will be difficult to close the windows.

In-line or cranked handles are also something to consider. In-line handles have a central locking point, and can be rotated left or right. Cranked handles have an angle between the grips and locking points, and can only be turned one way.
