Espag Handle

Espag handles are the most commonly used design of patio door handle locks used on windows made of Upvc (they're also commonly used in timber and aluminium too). They have a square spindle which extends from the back of the handle, and is inserted into the multi-point lock mechanism which is attached to the window. The handle is used to operate the locking mechanism around the window.

Espag window handles come in a number of different options that vary according to the style you pick and the function you'd like them to serve. Some have the option of a button for a locked closed' position, as well as key-locking (and non-locking for fire escape when needed).

They are also available with various sizes of spindles that can be modified by using spindle sleeves to reduce the size of protruding spindles.
