Need to replace UPVC window handle.

theGrinch

I have managed to snap the handle off this afternoon. I dont know all the technical names, but a metal loop thingy has snapped and sheared the handle from the retaining piece screwed onto the window itself.

The long and short of it is buy another handle and replace it myself, which thankfully looks a DIY job even I can do

I have been googling some suppliers. Some of the handles are listed with dimensions, but what do I need to measure (what and from where to where) so as to get a perfect fit? Is it the spindle, the distance between the two screws or something else more mysterious?

Also a bit confused between, espag, espagnolette, turn & tilt, co.ckspur, and co.ckspag

With my window you press the bit with where the key goes and turn the handle 90 degrees to open/close
I have included 2 photos.

The handlestore is one site that came up, any others you can recommend would be helpful short cut.

Thanks for reading

Get down to your local screwfix or Toolstation, simple diy job.

Thanks. I have the pieces off and easy to refit.

I dont have any cutting tools for the spindle so looks like I will have to go to a specialist handles supplier.
