It is essential that you select the appropriate spindle size for your window.

The angled Cadenza handle requires an angled lock to function properly, and the straight version cannot be used with an angled lock as it could cause the blade to bend, which could fracture the cast component of the blade itself.

The angle version of this handle is identified by a bar of steel that protrudes from the base of the handle, it is this which distinguishes it from the straight version.
