Pro Tips:

Pro Tip: Before cutting your spindle to size, test-fit the handle with the full 40mm length first. Mark the exact cut point whilst the handle is in position on your window, then remove and cut carefully with a hacksaw. This ensures you achieve the perfect spindle length without trial and error. Remember, it's always better to cut conservatively – you can always trim a bit more, but you can't add length back!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I know if this handle will fit my window?

Most espag window handles are manufactured to industry standard specifications with 43mm screw hole centres, making this ERA handle compatible with the vast majority of modern windows. To verify compatibility, simply measure the distance between the two screw holes on your existing handle – if it measures 43mm centre to centre, this handle will fit perfectly. The inline design also means it's non-handed, so it will replace both left and right-handed handles without any issues.

What if my window needs a shorter spindle than 40mm?

The 40mm spindle supplied with this handle can be easily cut down to suit any window thickness. Simply measure your existing spindle length (from the base of the handle to the end of the spindle), mark this measurement on the new spindle, and carefully cut using a hacksaw. The 7mm square spindle profile is solid metal and cuts cleanly without special tools. Most DIYers complete this adjustment in under 5 minutes.

Will this handle work on my timber or aluminium windows?

Absolutely! This ERA espag handle is designed for universal compatibility across PVCu, aluminium, and timber window frames. The standard 43mm screw centres and 7mm square spindle are used across all these materials, making it an excellent choice regardless of your window frame type. The robust construction and quality finish ensure long-lasting performance on any material.

How does the deadlock function work and why is it important?

The handle features a two-stage security system. When you close your window, it automatically click-locks into place, preventing it from being opened from the outside. For enhanced security, you can then turn the key to engage the deadlock function, which prevents the handle from being turned at all – even from the inside. To open a deadlocked window, simply turn the key to unlock it first, then press the button and turn the handle as normal. This additional security layer is particularly important for ground-floor and accessible windows, and is often required by home insurance policies to protect against break-ins where intruders might try to manipulate the handle mechanism.
