How to Tighten Window Handles
Have you begun to notice when you open or shut your windows the handle is becoming a little loose? If so, don’t panic, you can quite easily fix this yourself.
In this helpful guide, you will be able to tighten the loose uPVC window handle in a matter of minutes following our step by step instructions below.
Your handle will have one or two screw covers. To check, pull the handle up to see if you have a screw cover on the lower section of the handle and remove it if there is one – including the top cover.
How do you fix loose handle on uPVC window
- To tighten your window handle, remove the screw cover.
- Now you have removed the screw covers, you can continue. Tighten the exposed screws until they are firmly in place – do not overtighten them otherwise you can damage the handle.
- Re-cover the screws.

Tools you will need:
- Screwdriver
That’s right, all you’ll probably need is a screwdriver and a window handle of course, but we’re assuming you already have one of those. If not, you can buy a new window handle here from our online shop.
Please note: Some window designs may require someone outside the window to counter the force.
