Replace UPVC window handle

[Davey]

Hello.

I’d like to replace the kitchen upvc window handle shown below.

I was looking for something like the ERA Maxim Universal Espag Window Handle from Toolstation (55251) https://www.toolstation.com/era-maxim-universal-espag-window-handle/p55251

This handle (and all the others I’ve seen) have 2 fixing screws at 43mm centres.

However the existing handle appears to have just one screw (on the right hand side of the photo) while the left hand side has 2 spring locking mechanisms to secure the handle in the closed position.

Please can somebody advise a suitable replacement handle?

Thank you


Davey

Press the spring locking mechanisms in while turning the back plate and it should expose the two screws

Ahhhh what I thought was a screw on the right hand side is just for decoration!!!

I pushed the spring locking mechanisms in, turned the front of the base plate and yes - 2 fixing screws hidden underneath!!!

The screws also appear to be 43mm centres! Please could you confirm if the ERA Maxim Universal I linked to earlier would be a suitable replacement?

Or is there a more suitable one available?

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards

Davey

All espag handles have the same screw centres so yes it will fit, you'll just need to clip in the correct length spindle though from that selection in the packet and cut the screws down to the correct length they have incremental detents where you snap or cut them, this and the selection of spindles makes the handles sort of universal, or you could reuse the old screws

Well that was easier than I expected

All done - expect she now wants me to change all the other handles so they match!

Thank you very much for your help
