Espagnolette

Fasteners work simply via a catch and release mechanism via a mortice plate on the edge of the window frame. Espag. handles are designed to operate an espag. lock which is fitted inside the window frame. Espag. locks are a secure shoot bolt system which operate when the espag. handle is turned, moving the spindle to work the lock. These handles are equipped with a long spindle which can be cut down to the desired length but come in a standard diameter to ensure they’re compatible with standard lock types. It’s important to note that our espag. lever handles are handed so you’ll need to ensure you choose the correct hand. All our espag. handles also come with a locking grub screw underneath the handle which can be locked into place with an Allen key for additional security.

To determine which variant of espag. window handle you need, take a look at your window from inside the property. If your handle opens clockwise away from the frame, you need a left-handed variant. If your handle opens anti-clockwise away from the frame, you need a right-handed variant.

Our espag. handles are designed to fit any standardised locking systems (i.e., those with standardised fixing centres and spindle sizes) including stand-alone and multi-point lock sets. As long as the window lock is designed for espagnolette handles, it should work on any window material, including timber, plastic, and aluminium.
