2:27 short shaft? you can always take the shaft out of the handle that you're replacing, which saves having to cut anything.

thanks Mike . I saw your video yesterday, I have just put the new handle on. much simpler than I had expected,

[grahamkitchen]

10/10 for that easy fix.

WOW I MIGHT NEED THIS ONE DAY !! THANK YOU!!

[farahnazir]

Thanks that was reallt helpful however what if the handle is in a lock position and the key is broken and cannot be unlocked? I am trying to fix my windows in my living room

[anilmishra]

I like it Mike, thanks for your advice and nice explanation.

[idihaz]

clear guide. what if, the handle works and open well but the window still won't open, like it got stuck to one of the side latch ? thanks

[jesshothersall]

What I really needed to know, is how to remove that cap you put it at the end, you mentioned drilling, is that the only option? Undoing and doing up screws didn't really need explaining, but getting at the screws is more important? Was handy to note that new handle must also be in open position as lock will be from old handle.

My windows are locked shut, and I have lost the keys. Will this work for me? Also, do you have links for these replacements? Funnily enough I just won 20 quid Amazon vouchers!

I want to replace mine as the lock doesn't work (handle is fine) but how exactly do I remove that little chrome cap that covers the screw?

[alisonball]

Hi Mike, how do you get a rounded screw out please

[sandraholland]

Hi how can I change the handle on the window when the handle is locked and I have lost the key? Have new handles on the way and your video has been really helpful but my concern is getting to the bottom screw to detach the handle, would appreciate some advice please

Ooh! I should have filmed changing my bog handle - old one had corroded right through and snapped

[auldreekiebiker]

Hope you can help, my upvc handle lock has sheard inside and come away from the fixing.
I have taken off the two little covers that expose (which I thought would be standard screw bolts) no such luck!
All I see is a washer type flat face with a centre hole, I thought it might be an allen key, but I have tried fitting various sizes with no luck. In your experience, do you know this type of fixing?
Thanks.

I can’t get at the bottom screw because the handle won’t swing up when I push the button in. Any advice on how to get the covered screw out?

[davidbowden]

hi Mike.tried to replace handle but when i took the old one off. there was something loose inside the window appiture, so the new lock would not connect with the inside. any ideas ?

[imakren]

Where can you get spare screw covers if lost?

[Matt-nhzi]

My window lock has broken to the point where the handle just turns up and down but it doesn't actually unlock the window so i can't open it to gain access to the side strip - any ideas?

[christopherbowness]

I took the screws out but couldn’t pull the handle off
