Next, measure the length of the spindle to ensure the new handle is a suitable replacement. It is crucial to determine the type of handle you have, as there are several sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Espagnolette handles are found on the majority of modern double glazed windows. They are equipped with multi-point locks which provide greater security. The handle is controlled by an 7mm square spindle which connects to a gearbox within the window frame. The gearbox is able to move the multi-lock mushroom as the handle turns. They come in a variety of designs including cranked, inline key locking and cockspur handle, and they can also be provided as an entire set to replace a single handle that is broken or worn out.

The wedges come in various sizes, so it's crucial to determine the step height you need before purchasing a replacement handle.

The handle is locked into this position and requires the use of a key to unlock it whenever needed.

This makes it less obvious the handle, and is more in line with modern minimalist design trends. Additionally, they are much easier to clean than casement windows as the window replacements opens to the inside and can be cleaned on both sides.

They feature mechanisms that are similar to a window bar, and a linkage arm that supports the window sash. The window sash opens or closes when you crank the handle clockwise. The mechanism for the crank window, unlike other handles, is often subjected a lot of wear and tear. This can result in the handle's gears to break or fall off the operator shaft. Monitoring the handle and operator mechanism regularly will ensure that they stay in good working order for the years to come.

A crank handle is made up of a mechanical shaft which rotates perpendicularly and is connected to an arm. The handle is rotated in a circular motion by gripping and rotating it in the same way that you would operate a sharpener. In certain situations, the handle can be operated by the leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. It's this hole that allows it to connect to equipment and machinery. The handle's arm also has a connecting rod, which converts the circular motion the handle into rotary or reciprocating motion, which is used to operate machines and equipment.
