So pleased I found your video, I had booked a firm to replace my handles but I found your video and did it myself. Thank you so much for such clear instructions and saving me money!

Thanks mate! fixed the bathroom window. Handle had broken off, leaving a gap in the frame. Missus was giving me a right ear bashing about the cold draught last night ;-)

Just fixed my window lock after left over for couple years. Your video helped me to sorted it myself. Thank you ❤

Thank you so much!!! Our new house has more broken window handles than working ones! Thought it was going to cost us a fortune to get someone to sort them. Think even I might manage this myself though!!! Great video.

I have been wanting to change the handles on my windows for ages. Looks pretty straight forward. Going to give it a go......although I'm not good at sawing straight

Very helpful thank you. Much easier job than first assumed. Done it in 3 mins!

Excellent video, very well explained (and a steady camera, unlike many others). Thanks

There's someone at your door

Thank you so much for your video so appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend. This video is amazing 👏

Thank you sir. Had to saw mine down too

Thanks for idea of penknife to get that wretched cap off, that cap has been stopping me changing the handles! Very surprised you have so few 'likes,' you deserve more :) UPDATE; Whoopee doo, now used the penknife, and it was easy! Now I can get some brass handles to match the rest of the house! Thank you so much for your help!

great job, next time just swap the spindle instead of wasting time cutting a new one.

I have done my doors know on the window s this is amazing I rely injoyed doing my doors

Thankyou! Very useful

Thanks man 👍

Thank you for this video 🙏🏻

Good video cheers mate.

Hi, our window handle needs replacing but it’s stiff and we can’t pull the handle out to the left to get to the bottom screw, is there any other way to get round it? Thanks in advance 🙂

If you used the shorter handle would it still work ?

piece of basically. Cheers for making this mate, will get it done

Thank you, worked a treat and didn't have to call anyone out.. Brill.

Thank you for this video, it really helped.

For us, the lock mechanisms keep breaking such that you can't turn the handle and thus can't get to the second screw. One of the guys who came out showed me that there's a thin bit of metal that connects the push button to the mechanism that allows the handle to open and that this tends to get twisted with use and stops working.

Thanks

are their handles on the market where the screw caps are factory-sealed meaning the whole window needs replaced? Because what appear to be the caps on mine just refuse to come off - -can't even get a stanley in under them.

Thanks a lot ! we tried your way and in no time our window was fixed. Great help !

Brilliant exactly what I needed, do you have a vid on replacing a lock on a uPVC patio doors?

I'm struggling to remove the cap that covers the top screw. Are there any tips on how to remove this?

Thanks very much 😊

How do you get the cover off

Just fitted a new window, handle type is universal( turns both ways). I have screwed the handle to the window vent which is a top opener, but it will only turn one way with the handle facing inward but they need to face outward which is towards the reveal. I have tried the other handles but nothing works. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.Deja vu door bell:)

Did exactly the same same thing but window doesnt close any direction i turn the handle

Great job. All ready for the wife to break again! 👍

Very useful and clear - thank you. Just a bit more explanation about sawing that long bit would have been great but otherwise thanks!

The Handel doesn't move at all! I can't remove the screw،

My handle wont lock or open when i put the handle on ... Just no movement of the inner device. The handle works opening and closing but the windows just stays the same. Any ideas?

Delivery guy is at your door btw.

Someones at the door!

If you have lost the key and it is locked you need to get a small flat head screwdriver and break the lock mechanism first. I feel you have missed a step

What if u dont have a saw

How many of us checked if someone was at the door?

I can’t get at the second screw because the handle won’t open. The key button pushes in but it doesn’t allow me to turn the key. What do I do??? 😩

For some reason I can't get my screws out. I've undone them probably 90 % but can't get them completely out. Help!! They seem to be held by a nut or something at the back, I can't see what it is.

Window screw

Thanks, are the screw holes always the same distance apart?

The handle would not move to unscrew it

Who was at your door? Asking for a friend 😅

Dude answer the door 😆

Is somone going to answer that door?

Cant you just swop the brass bar over like on ordinary door handles...

No good if can't open at all 🙁

Just take the locking bolt out the old one

Always leave the cap off

They look like the cheap Anglian Windows locks I've got, I've had them back 3 times to replace, they've all failed in the same way that one has..

Fuck sake, answer the door first

best way is to change the german windows, i hate the stupid british windows
