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!

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

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.

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!

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 🙂
@hyksos74

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.

@deathwarmedup73

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.

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?

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
