Tilt & Turn Window Hardware

Tilt & Turn Window Handles

Replacing the handle on an inward-opening tilt and turn window? We stock locking and non-locking tilt & turn window handles from Hoppe (Atlanta and Tokyo), Fab & Fix (Sensei) and greenteQ, with spindle lengths from 32mm to 40mm.

The key measurement is the spindle length. Check whether you need a locking or non-locking handle before you order.

How to Choose a Tilt & Turn Window Handle

Spindle length

Measure the square spindle from the base of the handle to the tip. Our range covers 32mm to 40mm, and some handles are adjustable.

Locking or non-locking

Locking handles have a key. Non-locking handles suit windows that must open easily, such as escape windows.

Screw fixing

Check the screw positions and the size of the handle base match your existing handle.

Handle positions

On most tilt & turn windows: handle down is locked, sideways opens the window like a door, and up tilts the top inwards.

Tilt & Turn Window Handle Guide

Tilt and Turn Window Handle Replacement

Close the window and turn the handle to the locked position. Lift or slide the cover on the handle base, undo the two screws and pull the handle out. Fit the new handle in the same position, refit the screws and check it moves cleanly between locked, turn and tilt.

If the handle turns but the window won't tilt or open properly, the problem is likely the drive gear inside the window, not the handle. See our tilt & turn drive gears and tilt & turn window hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are tilt and turn window handles universal?

The fixings are similar on many, but the spindle length must suit your window. Measure your existing spindle before ordering.

Can I fit a lockable tilt and turn handle instead of a non-locking one?

Usually yes, if the spindle length and fixings match. On escape windows, keep the key close to the window.

Why won't my tilt and turn window handle turn?

The window may be slightly open or misaligned, or the drive gear may have failed. Push the window fully closed and try again before replacing parts.

Other window handle types: espag, cockspur, casement stays, timber, Cadenza. Or browse all window handles.
