Espag

Espag handles are a type of multipoint locks that are designed to fit on casement windows such as uPVC or wooden double glazing. The handle has a 7mm square shaft that fits inside an internal gearbox that is mounted on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it triggers a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles are also referred to as shootbolt handles. They provide more security than the conventional single point lock that is found on older window frames.

There are a variety of options to choose from, including inline and cranked handles that can be operated by either the left or right hand. You can also find a variety of sleek ergonomically designed handles that are made to improve both the feel of the handle and the way it appears on your windows.

If you are looking to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag handle, you'll be required to determine the dimensions of the spindle installed and measure the measurement from the base of the handle to ensure that you order the correct replacement. This measurement is known as step height and can assist you in finding the ideal upvc window lock replacement handle for your home.

If you have to remove any screws that hold the handle, use a screwdriver or pliers. After this is done then you must remove the handle from the frame by removing the screw or pins that hold the spindle before taking it away from the window.

When you have the handle removed, you'll be capable of accessing the locking mechanism within the frame of the window and remove the cockspur wedge block that is placed next to the handle in order to allow the window to open. The new uPVC handles you ordered should be able to slide onto the cockspur block before sliding into the handle spindle to allow the window to open again. The ideal solution is to replace the cockspur wedge block with a new one whenever you replace your uPVC handle to ensure it is properly secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are commonly found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. The handle is turned and then closes on a plastic wedge shaped receiver catch (not to be confused with timber window latches that are also covered in this section). These handles are available in lockable and nonlockable models. They are available in a variety of nose heights that can be adapted to the frame.

The handle locks with a small spur (little triangle bit) pulling up against a wedge made of plastic which is attached to the frame. These are usually single-way handles, but a locking deadlock is a possibility to add additional security.

The Replacement Window handles for cockspurs are simple to install. All you require is the correct backset and a new set (supplied). The backset is the distance that runs from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. As a general rule Aluminium window frames typically use a 9mm backset while UPVC utilizes 21mm. There are a variety of variations, so it's essential to measure prior to purchasing the handle.

The spindle or, in some cases the entire handle assembly can be removed by removing the handle. The replacement handle can then be screwed into place with two pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screw is available 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 for the cockspur handle that is perfect for fixing or replacing old uPVC windows. They have an universal design that makes them suitable for most profiles and backsets. Each handle is supplied with 3 packers that vary in thickness. They are fitted to the side of the handle's nose and can be combined in various ways to get backsets of 9-13mm, 17mm and 21mm. These handles are available in both left and right-handed versions, and in lockable and nonlockable models. They also come with a variety of nose heights.

Tilt and turn

Tilt and turn windows are a premium European window style that has been used for decades in Europe but is just starting to catch on in the United States. The windows are a combination of three window styles - tilt, in-swing and pivot. This makes them ideal for older homes since they can offer more ventilation than traditional window types.

When closed, tilt and turn windows lock as a normal fixed window. But, by turning the handle 90° or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the window sash will open inwards and the window will tilt in order to allow air circulation through the gap at the top of the frame. This is a great method to let air circulate without the need to open a large window which could pose a safety risk if not properly secured when opening.

If the handle is turned 90or 180 degrees, the sash can be fully opened, much like the door. This allows complete air circulation, which is particularly beneficial in rooms with a lot of draft or houses where smoke and other odors can build up. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much easier since it can be done from inside the home - a job that usually requires ladders that are not safe.

Tilt-and turn windows are also secure. They are extremely difficult to open when locked in closed position. They also feature double seals that prevent rainwater from entering your home while it is in the tilted position, or in swing. This feature is especially useful for older homes where burglars tend to target windows that can be opened by the side hinges.

Spade

There are many types of window handles that can be fitted to double glazed windows made of Upvc. The two most popular types 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 pick will be based on your preferences and the type of windows you have.

In order to choose the right replacement upvc window handle, you have to know how your current handle is attached to the frame. This is known as handing, and is a vital element to be aware of when shopping online. Certain handle styles don't fit all windows. For example, some cockspur handles are angled, whilst others are straight and will either turn left or right. You will also need to be aware of what the spindle length is, which is the distance from the base of the handle to the tip of the handle.

Knowing whether or not your windows need a restrictor is also essential when choosing the right handle. They are generally used in high-rise apartments or commercial structures, but are not required for homes that are primarily residential. You should also take into consideration the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of handle.
