A loose uPVC window handle can be the result of wear and tear or heavy and excessive use. Over time, the uPVC window handle can feel wobbly with no resistance when you operate the door. The handle no longer has its solid feel.
This is usually the result of loose screws on the base plate. Where the handle is attached to the window frame, the screws have come loose through constant use.
Everest uPVC windows are made in the UK from the best components for quality, so it’s quite normal and nothing to be concerned about.
To check that the handle is loose and not broken, refer to the image at the top of this page. Inspect the base plate to see if it has any gaps around the frame where it connects to the window frame.
To fix the loose window handle, you just need to tighten the screws and this takes five minutes with a cross-head screwdriver.
Watch our Everest Expert to see how you access the base plate to tighten the screws on your loose window handle.
