Replacing the handles on your windows is a great method to enhance the appearance of your home and improve its security. It's important that you use the correct handle and lock for a successful install.

To start, determine whether your window is square by measuring the width in three places, then taking note of the most compact measurement.

How do you replace the window handle

It is possible to alter your window handle with a few steps. With the proper tools, it's easy to install your replacement handle quickly and securely.

The first step in replacing a window handle is to take the old handle from your windows. This can be done by making sure the window is locked and removing the screw caps on either side of the handle.

This measurement is the distance between the handle base and where the spindle goes within the window frame. If you're not sure how to measure the length of the spindle seek out a professional because they will be able to give you a precise measurement.

In this instance, it is usually not necessary to replace the handle but rather the operator.

Identifying the issue

There are several factors that can prevent a window handle from working. It could be that the handle has fallen out of the window and can be fixed with a simple set of steps.

The easiest way to check for this is to turn the handle and looking to see if there are any signs of the teeth on the crank's operator shaft getting worn. If they do, this indicates that the crank operator may need replacing and you can get these online or from your local hardware store or home center store.

Another reason that can cause windows not opening is that the crank handle was not properly "nestled" and isn't sitting properly in the cover of the operator. This is usually caused by rust and dirt that has been accumulating over time, or could be the result of the handles for internal bifold doors not being lubricated. In most cases, this is a relatively easy fix that involves using an extended setscrew (available at home centers and hardware stores).
