Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Almost all replacement upvc window handles include everything you require, however if the previous handle was fitted with screws or pins that held it in place, they must be removed. Remove the'snap-in' covers at the base of the handle.

The next step is to identify what type of window lock and handle you're replacing. This is important!

Espag

Espag handles are a system of multipoint locks suitable for casement windows like uPVC or wooden double glazing. They have seven millimetre square spindles that is fitted into the gearbox of the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it operates a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles are also known as shootbolt handles and offer additional security when compared to the standard single point lock that is used on older window frames.

They are available in a range of different designs, including inline and cranked designs that can be used for either left or right-hand operation. You can even find a variety of ergonomically designed handles that are designed to enhance the feel of the handle and the way it looks on your windows.

If you're looking to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you will need to identify the size of the spindle installed and measure the measurement from the base of the handle to ensure you purchase the correct replacement. This measurement, also known as the step height will help you select the ideal uPVC window handle for your home.

If you have to remove screws that hold the handle, use pliers or a screwdriver. Once you have done this, you will need to disassemble the handle by removing the screw or pins that secure the spindle, and then taking 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 wedge block for cockspur which is fitted adjacent to the handle, allowing the window to open. The replacement sash windows uPVC handles you ordered will be able to slide over the cockspur block before sliding into the handle spindle, allowing the window to open again. Ideally, you should replace the wedge block cockspur with a new one whenever you replace your uPVC handle to ensure that it is properly secured.

Cockspur

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

The handle is secured by the small triangle-shaped spur (spur) which is fixed to the frame. They are typically one-way handles however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism is a possibility to add security.

Similar to Espag handles cockspur handle replacements are simple to install, all you need is new screws (supplied) and the proper backset. The backset is the distance from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. Aluminium window frames are usually 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are many other variations however, so it is crucial to take a measurement before buying the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

This type of window handle can be replaced by simply removing the existing handle and then removing the spindle, or in some cases the whole handle assembly. The replacement handle can then be screwed into place with the help of pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screws come in either a brass or zinc finish to match the existing hardware, and there is the option of a self-locking version.

This cockspur handle is easy to install and is perfect to replace or repair old uPVC Windows. They have an unidirectional design that makes them suitable for all backsets and profiles. Each handle is equipped with three packers, replaced each having a different thickness. These are neatly installed on the underside of handle noses and can be used together to create backsets as small as 9, 13mm, or as high as 21mm. They are available in right and left handed versions, and are available with lockable or nonlockable versions with a choice of nose heights.

Tilt and Turn

Tilt and turn windows are a premium European window style that has been in use for a long time in Europe however, it is only beginning to gain traction in the US. They combine the benefits of three window types into one - tilt, pivot, and in-swing. They are perfect for older homes since they offer more airflow than standard windows.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they are locked like any other fixed window. By turning the handle 90° or 180° depending on the tilt-and-turn type of window the sash opens inwards, and the window will turn inwards to allow for air exchange. This is a great option for ventilation without the need to open a large window which can be a safety danger if not properly secured when opening.

If the handle is turned 90or 180 degrees the sash can be fully opened like the door. This allows for full air exchange, which is particularly useful in draughty rooms or homes where odors from smoke or other sources can build up. It also makes cleaning the outside of the glass much easier as it can be done from inside the home - a job that usually requires ladders that are not safe.

Tilt and turn windows are extremely secure. When locked in a closed position they are difficult to open from the outside and they have double seals that stop 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 burglars are more likely to target traditional windows that can be opened from the side hinges.

Spade

There are many kinds of window handles that can be installed to upvc double glazed windows. The two main types are Espag handles and Cockspur handles. There's also tilt and turn handles, spade or blade handles, and monkey tail handles. The type of handle you select will depend on your preference and the kind of windows you have.

In order to choose the correct replacement for your window handle, you need to know how the existing handle is fixed to the frame. This is known as handing. It is an essential piece of information, especially when shopping online, as certain handles aren't suitable for all windows. For example, some handles for cockspurs are angled, whilst others are straight and turn either left or right. You should also know what the spindle's length is and the distance from the base of the handle to the head of the handle.

Identifying whether or not your windows require a limiter is also crucial when selecting the right handle. These are typically used in high-rise apartments or commercial structures, but are not a requirement 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 handle.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It 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 began to be used as a derogatory term for black people. Since then spade has become an emblem of African American pride and heritage.

When replacing the handle of a Cadenza handle, it's essential that you get the right size. The handles are available in straight and angled versions that differ by a few millimetres. The handle head is available in a variety of designs that include a D or T shape. It can also be left without handles.
