Spindle is the square metal bar that extends from the back of the handle into the lock mechanism. Before you can replace the handle, you need to locate this spindle. It is usually held in place by screws or pins, which can be removed using a screwdriver. You should dampen a cloth and clean the area where the handle is bonded to the frame of the window before getting rid of it. This will make the removal process simpler.

Once you have identified the fixing screws or pins, remove them from the window frame as well as the handle. This will let you put the new handle in place and screw it in. Be sure to line up the screw holes in the handle with those on the window frame to ensure that they are the same. You should also replace any screw cap caps that are missing.

This lets you easily upgrade your windows by replacing the handles with a more modern style. You can even find tilt and turn double glazing handles that meet Secure by Design requirements.

Window handles can make a massive impact on the overall look of windows. However, choosing the correct handle for your window requires some careful evaluation. Handles come in a range of styles, materials, and finishes. It is crucial to select one that is in line with the design of your window. It's also important to take into consideration the type of window you have as some styles will not work with other styles.

Espag handles are found on uPVC window frames in two distinct styles: in-line or cranked. In-line handles are straight and will turn right or left, and these are sometimes referred to as universal window handles. Cranked handles have a tiny curving piece in the back that you can move to open or close the window and they are available in left or right handed versions.

You'll require a handle compatible with windows that tilt and turn. These are similar to espagnolette handles but have a square spindle at the rear which sits in the gear box within the lock mechanism. The diameter of this spindle is typically 7mm but there are handles with a greater cross-section for timber windows.

Additionally, you have to consider the step height when you are choosing the new handle. This is the distance between the bottom of handle's nose and the frame. It is crucial to make sure you get it right.

It's time to test your new handle. This can be done by using the Javascript executor to navigate and click various web page elements. In particular, you'll need to use the window handle function which collects all handles on the browser and prints the handles. This allows you to identify the parent window handle, and then make use of child windows to carry out various actions on a web page and return to the parent window. If you have any questions regarding the window handle function you can refer to the Selenium guide.
