    Hi there, over the last few years a few of my Windows won’t open. The handle turns but the window won’t push open. One by one this has been happening and now I have 3 Windows that won’t open! Is this likely to be that the spindles have worn over time? Can I buy replacement spindles from you, or is it easier just to buy a new handle? I’m thinking of replacing all the handles on my Windows as it’s probably a matter of time before they all ending up going!

  • @DGPSUK
    @DGPSUK2 ай бұрын

    Hi, it could be the spindles have worn or the actual locking mechanism is broken, try a good handle in a window that doesn't work to see which is the issue. Send some images over to [email protected] for lock identification if you find it's the lock, but yes easier to replace the whole handle rather than the spindles themselves. Regards Steven

    I'd watched this video about 20 times before I attempted on my windows. I got a 13mm HSS bit especially for the job, but it would sometimes catch in my uPVC and my hand drill struggled, so in the end I used an oscillating multitool which worked much better. I marked out the template on masking tape as my window frames are black, then cut carefully along the lines. I used a smaller drill bit for the rounded edges. Hope someone else finds this useful. Actually quite straightforward once you know what you're doing.

    My top bathroom window handle was just flopping about with the window locked, the handle not doing anything. Took it off with the two screws.The spindle had almost disappeared into the mechanism. Had to fish it out with some tweezers. Tapped it back in to the handle as it appears to be a friction fit. Refitted it with a bit of difficulty.With the window open fitted the handle in the open position and all is good. Makes you wonder if a longer spindle should have been fittted in the first place. Is it a common thing these spindles working loose?

  • @DGPSUK
    @DGPSUK3 ай бұрын

    Hi, yes it's fairly common for the spindles to get stuck in the locks, we see it a lot in our coastal area due to the salt air. The spindle should be long enough to just pop out the other side of the lock when installed.
