Welcome to another amazing video from Paddy's DIY
In this video I'm going to show you how to remove a broken window handle spindle that has detached and is stuck inside the window
This is really simple and straight forward tip. All you'll need is a magnet. I use the magnetic tip of the driver bit on my drill. Also i have a fairly cheap screwdriver that has a magnetic tip. Both work perfectly and don't need to terribly strong for this to work.
Thanks for watching

Must be one of the greatest inventions of the decade.
So glad I found this. Fixed mechanism in minutes.
Thanks so much, mate! You saved me waiting in all day for the council ❤️
Happy days
Legend, this video saved me a lot of hassle! I was told it could only be done by a professional… thank you!
Great stuff 👏
Thank you Paddy, that was quite a useful video, handy to know these little tip's and trick's. .. 🍀 👍 🍀
Thanks for the comment voyager
Thanks Paddy - worked like a charm. It was doing my head in until I found your video. Cheers Mate!
Excellent. Glad it helped 👍
Thanks so much, I've just literally fixed it after all this time,found your video and hey presto. I can now open my window again. Many many thanks. Happy New year 🎉 ✨️
Great stuff 👍
This is after saving me!Thanks Paddy.
Thank you. Glad it helped
Thank you so much for making this video for me Paddy. I am very grateful. I'll try it later and hopefully it'll work. I'll let you know 👍👍
Hi again Paddy....I eventually got around to trying it. It didn't work for me unfortunately. I don't see rust around though. Any other tips. Do you know if Woodies sell strong magnets...maybe I need one stronger??
Thank you so much, it helped solve my window problem (spindle was loose but not detached).
Glad it helped 👍 you might want to think about replacing the handle. If it became loose once it'll keep on happening
Thanks Paddy, you legend!
Cheers :)
Cheers paddy
Hi again Paddy...so I was the 1% that this trick didn't work for. But you know what did work...blue tac! I rolled a ball of it up, stuck it into meet the spindle and pulled it back slowly and voila....spindle was out. I feel the need to celebrate 😄😄
Brilliant. Well done
@@PaddysDiy Thanks for your help Paddy👍
Thank you. It did a trick
Glad it helped 👍
Hi Patrick! Two of your videos made me able to open one of my stuck windows, and also figure out what was wrong with another. Faboulous! I took the handle off, and the spindle was still in the handle. But the little metal piece t\in the window, that the spindle goes into is broken. So the spindle can not turn anything anymore. Two questions if you have the time, I would be most grateful: Do you know if it is at all possible to DIY this problem? And do you know what the name for that little metal piece is, the one that connects with the Spindle?
Depends on the type of window you have and the type of lock thats in it. The most common type of window lock is a espag lock. The gearbox that the handle connects into is made in one piece with the lock. This is my video on how to measure the lock to buy the correct replacement. ua-cam.com/video/5HkPks3wlfY/v-deo.html
Hi Paddy. Thanks for the video but can you advise how to stop the spindle slipping out of the handle in the first place? I have this problem in one of my handles and I have to remove the handle to push it back into the handle every ten days or so. Is the spindle too short, or could there be a clip missing that would prevent it slipping out of the handle? Cheers mate.
Hi doug, the spindle shouldn't detach from it. The handle lever is crimped onto the spindle when it's being made. Easiest and cheapest thing to do is replace the handle. A new type of handle available now is a multi spindle handle. The spindle are interchangeable and are held in place with a magnet at the base of the lever. They're about 2 or 3 times the price of a standard handle though.
@@PaddysDiy Thanks for your reply Paddy, much appreciated :-)
No problem doug
Will give it a go. Went to replace an old handle and the spindle was snapped and in the frame pretty sure it’s rusted in tho.
Hopefully not
@@PaddysDiy turns out it wasn't rusted, that would have been the good ending.
the spindle had been cut short to 8mm as the entire locking mechanism is on the interior facing part of the frame. someone went economy on the window installation or more likely it's just a really old and poorly weather protected metal plate AND they went cheap. The screws were "fine" given the surface corrosion it's the 6-7m plate they have everything locked into that's the issue, one side has destroyed threads the others half gone.
I'm not in the mood to buy thread-tapping tools and re-do the entire mechanism so it's the landlords issue now.
Hi, wonder if you could help please. I've taken the handle off but the spindle is stuck in the window, it's completely rusty. Tried pulling with force but it hasn't budged. Any tips? Thanks in advance
It's a nightmare job when that happens. All that can be done is to grind out the centre section of the window lock with a die grinder until the lock comes out. Then replace the lock and handle. It's not a job for the diyer
Hahahaha 🤣 Dynamo magician... I've bought a spindle 40mm and the existing is 35mm !! neither 30 or 40 so have to cut down...(saw your video!!) Isn't there a way of taking out spindle in the new and inserting the old one ? As I don't do hack sawing.....🤪. Great clever video!!
You will find that the spindle has to be really tight in the handle.If you can remove spindle from handle easily it will just continually walk out of handle as there is nothing on other side to stop it unless the spindle is exceptionally long.I discovered this when my handle was just spinning and doing nothing.The spindle must be kind of squeezed into place when manufactured.If your spindle is slack in handle probably better to buy new handle.Or else fill the handle with really strong superglue and tap spindle in as tight as you can.
Hi paddy can you help me please .. the spindle on my window lock goes around and do not unlock the window. What I can do to open the window . Thank you very much for your time
This sounds like your problem

I have a long spindle to change and it remains stuck in the handle how do I get it out please?
Birdy
If it won't come out with a magnet, it might be rusted into it. Then your in a bit of bother
Hi bud, what of the spindle part has fallen into the window workings? Mine has, I can't get it out.
Is it causing an issue? Is it jamming it up?
@@PaddysDiy ive removed the handle as it wasnt working, ive just got a closed window that i'm unable to open now. With no handle.
Just buy a new Handle and you'll be good to go
Thanks Paddy the spindle on my window is stuck in place any idea how to get it out, I tried a vicegrips but it's stuck solid
Try spraying wd40 on and around the lock gearbox and leaving it over night. Then try wriggling the spindle in every direction and in and out also. If that doesn't work you'll have to drill it into bits and get it and the lock out on bit at a time. Not a nice job when they won't come out
Mine has gone inside the actual window and it’s gone at the bottom
As long as it's not stuck in the window mechanism it doesn't matter. The issue the video is dealing with is the old detached spindle blocking the mechanism. All you need to do if fit a new handle.
