Installing the new handle is easy once you have measured and replaced the spindle.

Espagnolet handles usually come with a multipoint locking mechanism which offers additional security.

If you are replacing an espagnolette handle you must make sure that the new handle has the proper step height. This is the distance from the base of the nose to the screw. Over the years, different step heights were used. However, 21mm is typical of uPVC and 9mm for aluminium window handle.
