Also, it's vital to consider the style of windows you have because certain styles won't work with other styles.

Espag handles can be found on uPVC window frames in two different styles either in-line or cranked. In-line handles can be turned either left or right and are also known as universal window handles. Cranked handles can be left- or right-handed, and have an elongated piece on the back.

You'll require a handle compatible with windows that tilt and turn. These handles are similar to espagnolette, but they have a square spindle on the back, which is located in the gearbox of the lock mechanism. The diameter of the spindle is typically 7mm but there are handles with a larger cross-section that is suitable for windows made of wood.

When selecting a handle you should also think about the height of the step. This is the distance between the handle's nose and the frame. It is essential to choose the right height.
