 Anything starts to function a little worse over time. Window hardware will also be no exception. If the window has stopped opening or closing for any reason, there is no need to panic immediately; it may just be enough to install a new handle.

This is often because the handle is the most "loaded" job - after all, it is used to regulate the window's opening. Cracks, wear and tear, and other damage is why the window handle becomes loose, jams, or does not allow the window sashes to close tightly.

To change the handle is not necessary to call a specialist, because you can do all the work yourself. You only need to buy a handle identical to the one on the window before the breakage.

How to measure replacement window

Changing the handle on a PVC window

To replace the handle on a plastic window, you must first pull back the plate located at its base. Then, you need to unscrew all the screws under the container using a simple screwdriver. Once this is done, the old handle can easily be removed.

Under the new handle, which will stand in place of the old one, it is necessary to install a unique regulator that allows you to open the window sash in ventilation mode.

Repair of a sagging window sash

Sometimes a situation can arise with PVC windows in which the sash can open at once in swinging and tilting modes and remain hanging in a diagonal position. There is no need to force it back into the window opening, as only a few simple actions will be enough, and everything will fall into place.

First, on the end of the sash, you need to find a plate that goes outward, which does not allow the window to open incorrectly. Then, holding it with one hand, the window sash must be placed strictly vertically, relative to the end metal plate.

Then the window handle should be turned to the tilt position of the sash and then to the rotary work. If these actions are enough and the window sash will no longer fall out and remain in place, it can be closed.


Repairing a twisting handle

When you can not open the window because there is a scrolling handle, but you do not hear a crackle, the cause of this failure lies in the loss of the metal base. Therefore, removing the metal plate under the handle is necessary; unscrew all the screws and remove the handle.

Using pliers, it is necessary to take out the metal rod with a square cross-section and insert it back, ensuring that it is firmly fixed in the handle. Then, reinstall the handle to face downward in the "closed" position.

Often there are situations when one day you open the window as usual movement, but suddenly its handle refuses to or turn, or at all turns out in the hands. This can happen with window systems that have been used for many years and immediately after installation. If you are wondering how to repair a broken handle on your plastic window, you can use our tips on this page.

Common problems with a plastic window handle

The handles of a plastic window are pretty complex structures with which you can operate complicated and heavy window mechanisms (opening in different planes, at different angles, etc.). Since the handles take all the regular load, they can quickly fall into disrepair. The most common situations when a plastic window handle breaks are as follows: 

  • when the window sash is open, the handle is jammed in the "closed" position;
  • the handle has become loose or completely detached from the window frame;
  • the handle does not turn all the way or does not turn at all.

As a rule, if the handle on the plastic window is broken, then you can fix this problem in two ways:

  1. Disassemble and repair the faulty mechanism.
  2. Replace the grip of a plastic window with a new one; today, it is not difficult to buy such fittings.

Of course, you can call a master from the company that installed your plastic window systems, but you can fix the window handle yourself. Just count: repairing one plastic window handle costs 50 to 100 rubles, and that's only without paying for the repairer's visit to the site. Below we will detail the design of the plastic handle and give full instructions on how to fix a plastic window handle yourself.


The construction of the window handle

In case the handle of a plastic window can be repaired with your own hands, it is necessary to know what the handle mechanism consists of and its principle of operation. This will help to understand how to disassemble the handle of a plastic window without breaking anything.

The window handle with its square rod is inserted into a particular hole in the window frame. By turning the handle and, consequently, the rotation of the rod, the window lock is set in motion, as well as the system that controls the plane of the orbit of the window:

  • micro ventilation mode;
  • opening of the window sashes.

The four-sided rod drives the trunnion mechanism and the closures on the window. The handle, thanks to this arrangement, has three positions:

  • the handle turned downwards - the window is closed;
  • handle rotated 90 degrees - the window can be opened completely;
  • Handle turned 180 degrees - the frame is open in the mode "micro ventilation."

The handle is fixed with two screws to the transom. Convenient design and lubricated mechanisms allow you to turn the handle and open the plastic window effortlessly. The screws are covered by a special decorative panel, which can permanently be removed.

How to replace the plastic window handle yourself?

If you have light fittings or it is easier for you to buy a new handle and replace it, it is easy enough to do:

  1. Remove the decorative panel that covers the screws: it unscrews clockwise or counterclockwise;
  2. Using the most common Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws completely;
  3. The handle is no longer attached so that it can be removed;
  4. Install a new handle in the free space: the screws, screws, and handles are universal.
  5. Turn the screws tight and screw the decorative panel back on.

As you can see, it is effortless to replace the universal fittings in case of breakage - even a woman can cope with this task.

How to repair a plastic window handle?

If the handle is jammed and does not turn, then the cause of the malfunction in the locking system is not excluded. To fix this problem, you must try to find the key on the end of the sash and press it. This is possible when the window sashes are open or ajar during "micro ventilation."

If the handle rotates around its axis

To solve this problem, it will be enough to unscrew the handle and install it again, tightening the screws and ensuring that the square rod is intact.

If the handle of a plastic window is loose

If the handle loosens, it will be enough to carry out a straightforward operation: disassemble the plastic window handle, i.e., remove the decorative panel and tighten the screws.

As you can see from the instructions above, replacing or repairing handles for PVC windows is very easy. If you are wondering "how to fix a handle" or "how to remove a handle for plastic windows, " feel free to read our tips. Everyone will be able to fix this system with their own hands. However, if your windows are under warranty, it will be much easier for you to call a master who will repair plastic window handles for free.
