What is an espag window handle? Firstly let's explain what an espag is. An espagnolette (shortened to espag) locking system is the metal strip which runs up the locking side of a window and moves when the handle is turned. They most often have round studs on them called mushrooms which move up and down (or side to side depending on how your window sits). The mushrooms catch into a metal plate on the window frame called a keep. In the centre of the espag is a gearbox with a square hole in it, the spindle from the handle goes through this hole and when the handle is turned it operates the mechanism. So the handle which moves an espag mechanism is called an espag window handle. The double glazing industry has made some parts of an espag handle standard – the fixing holes are always 43mm apart and the spindle is always 7mm wide. The length of the spindle will differ and can range from 10mm up to 40mm. Some companies occasionally used longer spindles but these have been phased out generally. Just to spoil the descriptions the espag handle also operates other types of systems in upvc windows such as gearboxes and shootbolt systems. But these systems have stuck to the standards and are operated using espag window handles. |
How To Measure Your Espag Window Handle
Espag Window Handle Measuring Guide
Simple steps to help you Measure the Spindle for your Window Handle
Make sure the spindle is pushed right back in to the existing handle and then measure the amount it protrudes from the handle as per (referenced A) the drawing on the left.
If you do not have a handle you can measure the existing Window Bolts you have. The bolts should be the same length as the spindle length that you need but it is not always the case
DO NOT MEASURE THE SPINDLE TOTAL LENGTH WHILST IT IS OUT OF THE HANDLE,
THIS WILL RESULT IN A SPINDLE THAT WILL BE TOO LONG FOR YOUR WINDOW

Value for money and exellent service!
From ordering to delivery and using the product, service and quality are excellent. The handle itself seems solid and robust, does exactly what it should, and was easy to fit in a couple of minutes. From ordering one evening, despatch was the following morning and delivery the day after that. And supplier confirmed each step by e-mail. Couldn't have been better!

Good product good price
Fitted as a direct replacement to a broken window handle. Just measured the length of the old shaft & selected that from the drop-down list. Used the original bolts, no problems looks good.

espag handles
Excellent website. Without the information displayed I would have found it difficult to work out what I required. Rang the help desk and the chap was very helpful and patient.When order arrived it was minus one handle but when I rang to query an additional handle was dispatched immediately. Very good service which I have recommended to others
-
Does the job perfectly
The handles replaced some old handles which were prone to failure mainly because of use over the years. The new handles are clearly a big improvement over these. The delivery was prompt. Really good service

Handle fell to bits - Help
About 10 days ago one of the window handles in our bedroom fell to bits with springs and rods etc falling on the floor . Next day I contacted the firm who put the windows in about 10 years ago . After 3/4 days the person I knew at the firm had not replied . In the meantime my wife went on the internet and found handles and hinges . I contacted them and the lady was most helpful and sorted our problem . Handle arrived next day and fitted like a glove . I had to shorten the square shaft a bit as the lady advised . Would recommend you to anyone,first class service
