Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Most replacement window handles replacement handles made of upvc include everything you require but if the original handle had screws or pins that were holding it, they will need to be removed. Next remove the'snap in' cover on the handle's base.

You will then need to determine the type of window lock and handle you're replacing. This is important!

Espag

Espag handles are a type of multipoint locks suitable for casement windows such as uPVC or wooden double glazing. They come with a 7mm square spindle that fits into the gearbox on a uPVC window and when the handle is turned, it opens a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles, also known as shootbolts, offer more security than the single point locks found on older window frames.

There are a variety of options to choose from with cranked and inline handles that can be operated using either the right or left hand. There are also ergonomic handles that enhance the look and feel of your window, as well as the handle.

If you are looking to replace your existing uPVC window handle with an espag handle, you'll need to identify the size of the spindle that is installed and measure it from the base of the handle to ensure you get the right replacement. This measurement is known as step height. It will help you find the perfect uPVC handle for your home.

You may need to remove any screw covers that are protecting the screws that hold the handle in place and if this is the case, use a screwdriver to remove these or pliers to break the pins that hold the handle. After this is done then you need to remove the handle from the frame by taking out the screws or pins that secure the spindle, and then taking away from the window.

Once you have the handle removed, you will then be in a position to access the locking mechanism within the frame of the window and take out the wedge block cockspur that is placed next to the handle to allow the window to open. The replacement uPVC window handles that you've purchased should be able to fit on the cockspur wedge block and then into the spindle of the handle and allow the window to open once again. If you'd like to make sure that your uPVC handles are securely secured you should replace the cockspur block with the brand new block.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. The handle turns and closes on an aluminum wedge-shaped receiver catch (not to be confused with window latches made of timber which are also handled in this section). They can be locked or non-lockable. They are available in a variety of nose heights that can be adjusted to the frame.

The handle locks by a slender spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a wedge of plastic that is fixed to the frame. They are usually one-way handles however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism can be added for extra security.

As with Espag handles cockspur handle replacements are simple to install all you need is new screws (supplied) and the correct backset. The backset is the distance from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. Aluminium window frames are generally 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are many variations, so it's essential to measure prior to purchasing the handle.

This type of window handle can be changed by simply removing the existing handle and taking off the spindle, or in some cases the whole handle assembly. The replacement handle is then screwed in place with a pair of pozidrivs screws. The pozidriv screw can be purchased in a brass or a zinc finish to match the existing hardware. There is also an option for a self-locking pozidriv screw.

This is a simple to install replacement sash windows for the cockspur handle that is perfect for fixing or replacing old uPVC windows. They feature a universal design which makes them suitable for fitted most profiles and backsets. Each handle comes with 3 packers that vary in thickness, these are neatly fitted to the underside of the handle's nose and can be combined in various ways to create backsets of 9-13mm 17mm, 21mm, and 13mm. They are available in left and right handed models and are available in lockable or nonlockable versions with a range of nose heights.

Tilt and Turn

Tilt and turn windows are a premium European window design that has been around for a long time in Europe but is beginning to gain traction stateside. They combine the functionality of three different window styles into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. This makes them ideal for older homes as they are able to provide more airflow than standard window styles.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they are locked like any other fixed window. By turning the handle either 90or 180 degrees, based on the tilt-and-turn type of window the sash will slide inwards and the window tilts inwards to allow for air to circulate. This is an excellent way to let air circulate without having to open the large, potentially dangerous window.

If the handle is turned 90@ or 180@ the sash will be fully opened like the door. This allows for full air circulation, which is particularly useful in draughty rooms or homes where smoke or other odors can accumulate. It also makes cleaning the outside of the glass much easier because it can be done from inside the home which usually requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

Tilt-and turn windows are also secure. When locked in the closed position, they are very difficult to open from the outside and they feature double seals that prevent rainwater from entering the home when they are in the tilted or in-swing position. This can be a particularly useful feature for older homes where intruders are more likely to target windows that can be opened using the side hinges.

Spade

There are several types of window handles that can be fitted to double glazed windows made of Upvc. There are two main kinds of handles: Cockspur and Espag. Other choices include tilt and turn handles, blade or spade handles, monkey tail handles, and various other types. The type of handle you pick will be based on your preferences and the type of windows you have.

It is important to be aware of how the handle you have currently is attached to the frame to select the appropriate replacement Upvc handle. This is known as handing and is an essential aspect to know, particularly when purchasing online since some handle variations don't fit all windows. For instance, certain handles for cockspurs are angled, while others are straight and will turn either left or right. You'll also require the spindle size that is the distance between the base of handle and the head of the handle.

Another aspect to consider when choosing the right handle is determining whether your windows need a restrictor or not. They are generally used in high-rise apartments or commercial structures, but are not required for homes used by the homeowner. Also, you should be aware of the step height which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of the handle.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into numerous languages including German spaten and Low German spathen. In the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance in New York City, spade began to be used as a derogatory term for black people. Spade has since risen to prominence in pop culture and is a widely recognized symbol of African American heritage and pride.

When replacing a Cadenza handle, it's crucial to select the correct size. The handles are available in both angled and straight versions which differ by a few millimetres. The handle head is available in a variety of shapes that include a T or D shape. It is also possible to be left without handles.
