Window Handles

Window handles come in a variety of colours and styles to suit your home. They are operated by a locking mechanism hidden within the frame that allows you to open and close the double glazed windows.

When replacing your handle it is important to check the length of the spindle. This is the length at which the nose extends out of the base plate, or how much further in it goes into the lock.

Espag Handles
