Choosing uPVC Replacement Window Handles

Window handles are an essential element of your uPVC windows and must match to the frame. The spindle size is what determines if your new uPVC handles will fit.

Espag Handle

Espag handles are commonly found on Upvc (but they are also used in timber and aluminum). They have a square spindle that extends from the back of the handle and enters into the multi-point lock mechanism that is attached to the window. By turning the handle, you control the mechanism that locks and unlocks the locking points around the window.

Espag window handles are available in a variety of styles and functions. Some have the option of a button for a locked closed' position as well as key-locking (and fire-escape non-locking where required).
