When you are choosing the replacement handle, you'll have to think about the step height and the length of the spindle. The step height refers to the distance between the base of the handle and the point at which it connects to the window frame. The measurement varies between manufacturers and you should check your old handles to see the step height. It's a common error to buy a handle similar to your old one, but with the wrong blade length.

In-line handles are straight with the locking point located in the middle and can be turned left or right. Cranked handles have a slight angle between the grip and the locking point, and can only be turned only one way.
