Frequently Asked Questions

A 400mm offset espag window lock is a multipoint locking mechanism designed for uPVC windows with an off-centre handle spindle position. It helps secure the window by engaging locking points along the frame.

The 400mm measurement indicates the overall length of the espag mechanism. Matching this size with your existing lock is important for proper fit and smooth operation.

Signs of a failing espag include difficulty turning the handle, poor locking performance, stiffness, or the window not closing securely.

No, compatibility depends on the spindle position, backset, and dimensions of your current mechanism. Always compare specifications before ordering a replacement.

Choosing the correct mechanism depends on your window type, size, and locking configuration. To learn more, read: How to Choose the Right Window Mechanism: Friction Stays & Espagnolette
