When you're replacing a window handle it's important to determine the dimensions of the spindle correct. This is because it could affect how tight or loose the handle is and whether it's able to lock properly in the window frame. The spindle is a steel shaft that connects the handle to the lock on the window frame. The spindle could be a standard 8mm cross-section in the industry or the older 9mm versions. The current industry standard is 8mm but this wasn't always the case. When buying a new handle it's essential to check the dimensions.
