Frequently Asked Questions

A 400mm inline espag window lock is a multipoint locking mechanism used in uPVC windows. It secures the window by engaging locking points along the frame when the handle is operated.

The 400mm measurement refers to the overall length of the espag mechanism. It’s essential to match this size with your existing lock to ensure a correct replacement and proper function.

Common signs include difficulty turning the handle, the window not locking properly, or the mechanism feeling loose or worn. Replacing the espag can restore both security and smooth operation.

No, compatibility depends on window size, backset, and spindle dimensions. Always check your current mechanism’s specifications before purchasing a replacement.

If your window is hard to open or close, doesn’t lock securely, or makes unusual noises, it may be time for a replacement. To learn more, read: Top Signs Your Window Mechanism Needs Replacing (And What to Buy)
