FIT A WINDOW HANDLE
WITH EASYFIT
Here’s a step-by-step Installation guide for fitting the perfect
window handle, courtesy of hardware specialist Winlock Security.
Remove the old handle Fitting the new handle
1. Turn existing handle to open position in
order to reveal rear screw position. 1. Select the correct spindle: Easyfit han-
dles are supplied with five different spindle
options (10mm,15mm, 20mm,30mm and
43mm), one of which should be appropri-
ate for your window. Fit the spindle that,
when inserted into the back of the handle,
projects out as far as the spindle in your old
handle. If in doubt, use the longest spindle
possible. In the unlikely event that none of
the spindles match your old handle call the
Easyfit technical service on 0333 321 0225
and if a special spindle length is required,
they will supply it on a next day delivery
anywhere in the UK.
2. Holding the handle and keeping the win-
dow closed, remove the rear screw.
4. Turn the handle to the open position to
reveal the rear screw fixing position, and fix
the rear screw.
3. Turn the handle to close the window
and keeping the window secure remove
the front screw (you may need to remove a
screw cover first if fitted).
4. The handle can now be taken off the win-
dow and the window is held closed.
2. With the correct spindle inserted in your
Easyfit handle, fit the handle in its closed
position (as supplied). The new handle
should be fitted with the handle projecting
to the same side as the old handle, other-
wise the handle will not operate the locking
mechanism. The button on your Easyfit han-
dle must be depressed in order to open; this
is an important child safety feature.
3. Fix the front screw. In most cases the
screws from the old handle can be re-used.
If for any reason the old screws cannot
be reused, then cut down the M5 machine
screws provided with the new handles,
so that the screws when fitted, project the
same distance out of the back of the handle
as the spindle.
5. Close the window and finally put in place
the cover provided for the front screw.
