FAQs

What tools do I need to install the handle?

You will need a screwdriver, and potentially a measuring tape.

Can I replace the key?

Replacement keys are typically not available. Keep the supplied key in a safe place.

What is the spindle?

The spindle is the square rod that inserts into the window mechanism. It's the part that turns to open and close the window.

How do I measure the spindle length?

Measure the distance from the handle's base to the end of the spindle. The slotted spindle allows for adjustment.

What is the screw hole distance?

The distance between the centers of the two screw holes on the handle is 43mm.

What if the spindle is too long?

The spindle can be cropped to 5mm increments to fit your window.

Is this handle suitable for all uPVC windows?

While designed for uPVC windows, it's essential to check the compatibility with your specific window profile and verify the measurements.

Troubleshooting

Handle does not lock.

Check if the key is inserted correctly and fully turned. Ensure the locking mechanism is not obstructed. Check the alignment of the handle with the window frame.

Handle feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Lubricate the locking mechanism and moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant. Check for any obstructions or debris.

Handle is loose.

Tighten the fixing bolts. If the holes are stripped, consider using larger screws or filling the holes with a suitable filler.
