Window Handle Repairs in Essex

What Are Window Handles and Why Do They Fail?

​

Window handles are the operating point for your window’s locking system — whether on uPVC or aluminium frames. They engage the internal espagnolette or shootbolt mechanism and are essential for secure locking, smooth operation, and everyday ventilation.

​

Over time, handles can:

  • Wear out internally (especially in the gearbox)

  • Become loose, stiff, or completely jammed

  • Suffer key issues, especially with lockable types

  • Break off, leaving the window unusable
