FAQs

How many handles come in a pack?

This product is sold as 'Each / Single', meaning one handle is included per pack.

Do I need to buy screws separately?

Screws are typically not included with this type of hardware. You will need to provide your own suitable wood screws based on your window material and desired depth.

What is the finish of this handle?

The handle has a Polished Chrome finish.

What are the dimensions of the handle?

The handle measures approximately 48mm in width and 45mm in height.

What is the fixing centre measurement?

The distance between the centres of the two fixing points is 32mm.

Can this handle be used on other types of windows?

It is specifically designed for traditional sash windows. Its suitability for other window types would depend on their specific mechanism and design.

How do I clean and maintain the polished chrome finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation.

Ensure screws are fully tightened. If the screws are not gripping, the pre-drilled holes may be too large; consider using slightly larger screws or wood filler.

Sash is still difficult to lift.

This handle assists lifting but does not fix underlying window issues. Check if the window tracks are clean and lubricated, or if the sash is binding.

Polished chrome finish appears tarnished.

Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. If tarnishing is severe, it may indicate a defect; contact the manufacturer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and comfortable grip for lifting sash windows.
  • Simple installation with two anchor points.
  • Polished chrome finish offers durability and a classic aesthetic.
  • Designed for efficient, balanced lifting when used in pairs.
  • Suitable for traditional sash window restoration or repair.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of a second handle for paired use.
  • Traditional design may not match contemporary interior styles.
  • Fixing screws are not explicitly mentioned as included.
  • Limited to sash window operation; not suitable for other hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired placement for the handle on the lower part of the bottom sash.
  2. Mark the two anchor points using the handle as a template, ensuring they are level.
  3. Using appropriate screws (not provided, typically wood screws), secure the handle through its two anchor points into the sash.
  4. For tandem lifting, install a second handle on the opposite side of the bottom sash using the same method.

Compatibility:

  • This handle is specifically designed for traditional sash window mechanisms.
  • It is suitable for wooden or uPVC sashes that require a manual lifting point.
  • Ensure the fixing centres (32mm) are compatible with your chosen screw length and window material.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the polished chrome finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
