Fixing window handle - asy job? (pics included)

Bananaleaf

Hi all

I need to replace the handle on this window. It's a bit wobbly and I can feel that it's about to come off in my hand.

When showing the OH, we realised that in fact the window is not locking. The circular mechanism in picture 2 that should move up when twisting the handle isn't moving at all.

I understand that replacing the handle itself isn't a big deal as I watched my mother do it before :pac: but, if the circular bit isn't moving upwards, is this a bigger problem?

I'll probably just replace handle anyway and we will see, but until I can get my hands on one, does anyone know for sure?

Thanks in advance

Thank you. Just googled what you said and got linked to this very useful video. https://youtu.be/D6h5Y85NjWY Guess where I'll be buying the parts! I think I can manage to do that.

you need to replace like for like

if your windows are made by munster joinery you will need whatever espag they supply

I think I am doing that - the video explains how to check the make of the espag (mila in this case) and how to order that from them.

Would that be right?

You need to know if the gearbox is inline or offset.you will also need to know the length of the espag too.i would say it's 800mm or could be gr60.that is 600mm
