They come with seven millimetre square spindles that fits into the gearbox on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it operates an array of locks around the perimeter of the window.

You'll need to measure the size of the spindle from base of your uPVC handle if you want to order the correct replacement. This measurement, referred to as the step height will assist you in selecting the perfect uPVC window handle for your home.

If you need to remove screws that hold the handle, use pliers or a screwdriver. After you have removed the screws or pins that hold the spindle together then you can remove the handle.

After removing the handle, you can access the locking mechanism in the frame of the windows and remove the cockspur block that is located next to the handle. This will allow the window to be opened. The new uPVC handles you have ordered should be able to slide over the cockspur block, and then into handle spindle to allow the window to reopen. If you'd like to make sure that your uPVC handles are properly secured and secure, you should replace the cockspur block a brand new one.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are commonly found on older uPVC or aluminum windows. The handle is closed and then turns into a wedge-shaped plastic catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches which are also covered in this section.) The handles are available in lockable and nonlockable versions. They come in a range of different nose heights to suit the existing frame.

The handle locks using a small spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a wedge made of plastic which is attached to the frame. These are generally one way handles, however a locking deadlock cylinder can be added for extra security.

The replacement handles for cockspurs are simple to install. All you require is the correct backset and a new set (supplied). The backset is the distance from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. As a general rule Aluminium window frames usually use a 9mm backset while UPVC employs 21mm. There are a myriad of variations however it is essential to measure before buying the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

This type of window handle can be replaced by simply unscrewing the existing handle and replacement windows then removing the spindle, or in some instances, the entire handle assembly.

There is also an option for a self-locking pozidriv screw.

This cockspur handle can be simple to install and is perfect for replacing or repairing old uPVC Windows. They are an unidirectional design that makes them suitable for all profiles and backsets. Each handle comes with three packers, each of different thicknesses. They are installed on the underside of the handle noses and can be used together to create backsets as small as 9, 13mm, or as large 21mm. They are available in left and right handed versions and come in either lockable or nonlockable models with a range of nose heights.

Turn and Tilt

The most prestigious European window style of tilt and turn has been around in Europe for a long time, however it's only just beginning to take off in the American market. They combine the benefits of three window styles into one: tilt, pivot and in-swing. They are ideal for older homes since they provide more ventilation than standard windows.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they lock like any other fixed window. By turning the handle 90° or 180@ (depending on the type of tilt and turn window) the window sash will open inwards and the window will be tilted into allowing air to circulate through the gap at the top of the frame. This is a great method to allow ventilation without having to open a large window seal replacement, which can be a safety risk if not properly secured when opening.

The sash is also able to be fully opened by turning the handle 90or 180@. This allows for full air circulation which is especially beneficial for rooms that are smoky or where smoke or other odors are likely to accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much more easy because it can be done from inside the house - a task that often requires ladders that are not safe.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very safe. When locked in the closed position, they are difficult to open from the outside, and they feature double seals that stop rainwater from entering the house when in the tilted in-swing position. This feature is particularly beneficial for older homes, where burglars tend to target windows which are opened with side hinges.

Spade

There are several different types of handles that can be installed on double-glazed windows made of upvc. The two main kinds are Espag handles and Cockspur handles. There are also tilt and turn handles, spade or blade handles, and monkey tail handles. The type of handle you choose will depend upon your preferences and the type of windows you have.

In order to choose the correct replacement windows prices for your window handle, you need to know how the existing handle is attached to the frame. This is known as handing, and is a vital aspect to consider when buying online. Some handle variations do not fit all windows. For instance, certain handles for cockspurs are angled, while others are straight and either turn left or right. You'll also require the size of the spindle, which is the distance between the base of the handle and the handle's head.

Identifying whether or not your windows require a restrictor is also essential when choosing the right handle. They are generally used in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, however they are not required for domestic homes. Also, you should consider the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of the handle.

Spade comes from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada and has been translated into a variety of languages including German spaten and Low German spathen. In the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance in New York City spade started to be used as a sexist term for black people. Since then spade has become an emblem of African American pride and heritage.

It is crucial to select the right size when replacing a Cadenza-style handle. Handles are available in straight and angled styles that differ by only a few microns. The handle head is available in a variety of designs that include a D or T shape. It can also be left with handles.
