Paddy's DIY - The 6 Steps To Correctly Measure A Window Espag Lock
Another great instructional video brought to you by Paddy's DIY
In this video I’m going to show you the 6 steps to correctly measure a window espag lock. The best and easiest way to check all the aspects and sizes of the lock is to remove it from the window. Check out my other videos guides on how to open a broken window lock and how to replace a window espag lock
The first thing to check is for a manufacturers name or logo. This will usually be stamped on the faceplate of the lock. In some cases this can be stamped on the gearbox of the lock. Sometimes there will be no name or logo at all.
The second thing to check is if your lock gearbox is inline or offset. An inline lock will have the gearbox positioned in the centre of the faceplate. An offset lock will have the gearbox positioned to one side of the faceplate. This is really important to check, because an inline lock will not fit in place of an offset lock.
The third thing to check is the backset of the window lock. This is basically how deep the lock is recessed into the window. This is measured from the edge of the lock back to the centre of the screw holes or the centre of where the handle goes in. In some cases you will see the size stamped into the gearbox. The most common backset are 20mm, 22mm and 25mm.
The fourth thing to check is the overall length of the lock. Very straight forward, measure from one end to the other.
The fifth thing to check is the width and shape of the faceplate. Nearly all locks are 16mm wide as standard, but there are narrower locks used on old windows. Also the standard shape will be flat, but there are u shaped faceplates.
The sixth and final thing to check is the shape and size of the roller lock. The standard shape is mushroom shaped. Measure the height of the roller from bottom to top. The standard height is 8mm. Also check the diameter and inside diameter of roller.
So to recap. The 6 things to check are:
• The manufacturers name or logo
• Inline or Offset
• The backset
• The overall length
• The width of the faceplate
• The size and shape of the roller

Excellent information with no crap.
Paddy, thank you! One of the clearest well presented demonstrations that hits absolutely the important points. Well done. If you are a OEM of these parts, and you require a “Quality” well trained UK team, installers repairers with a similar attitude to your own. After 30 years + in construction and related, there is a new trend to repair and keep. I like it, and would be pleased to train a team over here, with a good ethos of care. Best to you. Of course a reliable efficient parts and “Advice” partner would be essential. Thanks
Thanks again brother 👍👏
Amazing, thanks for saving me so much time ordering the wrong mechanisms 👍
Many thanks. Saved me hundreds of pound I was quoted to fix a single window

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this Paddy. Helps a lot, although I fear I may not be able to replace mine since it is 13mm width which you advise is now obsolete. Will give it a try though. 👍

You might be able to get 13mm offset espags in the UK. Hard to get in Ireland even before brexit, so i gave up trying. Other ways around it though

i got the jammed window open ! took off the old ESPAG which had fallen to bits. Used a place in Aintree, Liverpool for a 250mm replacement --but window needed fettling with a Dremel to let it sit flush and its all fixed now---nothing broken, no blood lost and indeed , I am the DIY hero of the day........... thanks again gents.
Hi, you said that for inline handle we must need gearbox at the centre of the espag. is that necessary?
Thanks
mine is 760mm long 16mm thick. mushrooms 9mm(6mm inside) but im struggling to find this 760mm in length any ideas?
Paddy you are worth your weight in gold

Is it not enough when ordering to just use the code on the mechanism. Mine says GR 90
@PaddysDiy
2 жыл бұрын
Gr 90 is only a reference for the length. Doesn't tell you anything else
Is there a way to remove the center rotating mechanism? Mine broke and there is no replacement part so I found the same part but shorter. Was thinking of ripping out the center rotating piece and change them

@@PaddysDiy thats sad to hear, Im looking for a replacement for my 1700x2200 but the same brand does not exist. I looked at the spec sheets of a different brands same size and it looks similar. Will try to use that one instead
What's the best way to replace one of these? Can you remove the window?
