Replacement Handles For Windows

Window bi-fold doors handles are among the most frequently used components of your double glazed windows. As time passes, they may be worn down or rusty.

This could mean that the lock or handle becomes difficult to open or close, or that it isn't locked in any way. It may be tempting to replace your entire window unit when this occurs, but it's not always necessary. In many cases an upgrade to the handle or lock is all that's needed.

The most common kind of uPVC window handle is the espagnolette. This handle has an outer spindle that extends from the handle.
