Information
Dimensions
Measuring your handle
Screw Hole Fixing Centres:
Most espag handles are made to industry standards with 43mm screw hole centres, therefore it really doesn't matter if you choose a style that's different to your existing handle, as long as the handle centres measure 43mm these handles will fit.
Handing:
These handles are of the inline type (Non-handed), therefore they will replace both left and right hand handles.
Spindle Length:
Remove the two screws fixing the handle to the window and measure from the base of the handle to the tip of the spindle.
Spindle width:
Although almost all espag spindle widths measure 7mm square, its worth checking before ordering as some unusual 8mm variations have been known, although these are mostly on timber windows.

sorted by1. make sure you can remove the ones you want to replace.
2 Check the length of the shaft required.
3. Most shafts on PVC are 7mm which these are but some in older wooden frames may be 8mm and these would not then fit. A vernier is best for this measurement.
The service and delivery was quick within 2 days .
How To replace
Even cheaper if you purchase 10.
Heat added OP
On 3 of the old handles the mechanism had died so you couldn’t push in the button to open the handle (so couldn’t get to 2nd screw to remove it). In case anyone else has this prob the fix was easy. Using a pad saw I was able to put the blade into the handle and literally saw through the lug. Once done old handle could be opened and replaced. (edited)

One tip open the handle enough to access the screws and not so much that the window opens.
Also make sure you note which way the handle points before you put the new one on. You will need to open up the new one to match the openness of the one you just removed (so the spindle is at the right rotation).
It really is easy once you give it a go.
Note changing the handle will often not fix windows that don’t open if the old handle would turn. If the handle turns it is likely a fault with the mech on the window itself. (Unless the spindle is so worn that it is unable to rotate the mech).
Hope that helps. Plenty of YouTube vids on the topic. I had never needed to do it until a few weeks ago. But it was easy once I tried.
but if you need to chop down a shaft I use a battery angle grinder with a thin cutting blade, why use a hacksaw?
They are so ugly and no style at all that I would not buy at 10p
