Fitting Yale Quartus Window Handles
Remove the existing handle to reveal three holes in the window sash. The outer holes are for the screw fixings (43mm screw centres) and the inner hole is for the spindle.
- Swing open the new handle to reveal both screw ports on the Base
- Guide the handle spindle into the spindle hole and align the screw ports
- Secure handle to sash using screws provided
That is it! If you wish to keep the handle permanently locked, just key lock and then fit the black blanking plug into the barrel keyway. If you wish to highlight the handle as egress and stop it from being locked, fit the green blanking plug.
