Espag handles are usually found on upvc door handle windows and come with two options: in-line and cranked. In-line handles are straight and will turn left or right and are often called universal window handles. Cranked handles are left- or right-handed and have one small piece of curved material on the back.

You'll require a handle compatible with windows that tilt and turn. They are similar to espagnolette handles but have an oval spindle in the rear, which is a part of the gear box inside the lock mechanism. The spindle's diameter is typically 7mm, however you can find handles with a larger cross-section for timber windows.

When you are choosing a handle you should also consider the step height. This is the distance between the handle's nose and the frame. It is crucial to choose the right height.

In particular, you'll need to make use of the window handle function that retrieves all the handles on the page and prints them out. This lets you identify the parent window handle and then make use of child windows to carry out various actions on a web page and navigate back to the parent window.
