How to Replace a Window Handle

If you're having issues with your window handle, it can be fixed in a few easy steps. Start by identifying the handle's type and measuring spindle length. This will ensure that your new handle is compatible with your existing window type and mechanism.

Open the window first so that the guide of the crank arm is aligned with the notch in the guide track. (Use locking pliers if needed). Take off the cap that covers one screw.

If your window handle is broken or isn't working properly, it might be time to consider an alternative. You can find replacement handles at hardware stores, home centers, and full-service stores. Whether you're replacing the handle due to aesthetic reasons or because it's not working as it should, the procedure is simple and can be completed within minutes. The first step is to remove the screws and storing them in a safe place. Take a screwdriver, and find the screws that hold the handles. Utilize the flat end to lever out the screws and then remove them.
