Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Almost all replacement upvc window handles come with everything you need, however if the previous handle had pins or screws that held it in place, they must be removed. Take off the "snap-in" cover at the base of your handle.

You'll need to identify what type of window lock and handle you want to replace. This is crucial!

Espag

Espag handles are a multipoint lock system that is fitted to casement windows, such as uPVC and double glazing made of wood. They feature seven millimetre square spindles that can be fitted into the gearbox on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it opens a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles, also referred to as shootbolts, offer more security than the single point locks found on older frames.

They are available in a variety of different styles, such as inline and cranked designs that can be used in left or right hand operation. You can even find various ergonomically designed handles that are made to enhance the feel of the handle as well as how it appears on your windows.

If you're planning to replace window handles your current uPVC window handle with an espag handle, you'll have to determine the size of the spindle that is installed and measure the measurement from the base of the handle to ensure you get the right replacement. This measurement is referred to as step height and will aid you in finding the perfect uPVC handle for your home.

You may need to remove any screws which protect the screws that hold the handle in place, and if that's the case, use a screwdriver or pliers to break the pins that hold the handle. After this is done then you must remove the handle from the frame by removing the screw or pins that hold the spindle, and then taking it away from the window.

After removing the handle you can open the locking mechanism within the frame of the windows and remove the cockspur block that is attached adjacent to the handle. This will allow the window to be opened. The new uPVC handles you have ordered should be able slide onto the cockspur block, and then into handle spindle to allow the window to reopen. If you want to be sure that your uPVC handles are properly secured, it's best to replace the cockspur block an entirely new one.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are typically found on older uPVC and aluminium windows. The handle is closed and rotates into a wedge-shaped plastic catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches, which are also covered in this section.) They can be locked or nonlockable. They come in a range of different nose heights to suit the existing frame.

The handle locks using a slender spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a wedge made of plastic that is fixed to the frame. They are typically one-way handles, but the deadlock that locks is a possibility to add additional security.

The replacement cockspur handles are easy to put in. All you require is the correct backset as well as a new set (supplied). The backset is measured from the baseplate to the underside nose of the handle. Aluminium window frames are generally 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are a variety of variations, so it's important to take measurements prior to purchasing the handle.

The spindle or, in some instances the entire handle assembly is removed by unwinding the handle. The replacement handle is then fixed with a pair of pozidrivs screws. The pozidriv screws are available in zinc or brass finishes to match the hardware and there is also the option of a locking version that self-locks.

This is a simple to install replacement for the cockspur handle that is perfect for fixing or replacing old uPVC windows. They feature a universal design, making them suitable for most profiles and backsets. Each handle is equipped with three packers, each of a different thickness. They are slid on the underside of handles and can be stacked to create backsets as small as 9-13mm or as high as 21mm. These handles are available in both left and right-handed models, and are available in locks and non-lockable versions. They are also available with a variety of nose heights.

Turn and Tilt

Tilt and turn windows are a premium European window style that has been used for a long time in Europe however, it is only beginning to gain traction in the United States. They combine the functionality of three window styles into one - tilt, pivot, and in-swing. They are great for older homes as 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 tilt-and-turn type of window the sash opens inwards, and the window will turn inwards to allow air circulation. This is a great method to let air circulate without the need to open a large window which could pose a security risk if not properly secured when opening.

If the handle is turned a further 90or 180 degrees, the sash can be fully opened as a door. This permits complete 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 outside of the glass much simpler since it can be done from inside the house which usually requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

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

Spade

There are many kinds of window handles that can be installed to double-glazed windows made of upvc. There are two types of handles: Cockspur and Espag. Other choices include tilt and turn handles as well as spade or blade handles as well as monkey tail handles and a variety of other styles. The type of handle that you choose will depend upon your preferences as well as the type of windows you have.

You need to know how the handle you have currently is attached to the frame in order to select the appropriate replacement upvc handle. This is called handing and is a crucial element to consider, particularly when buying online as some handle variations don't fit all windows. Some cockspur handles, for example, are angled while others are straight, and can turn left or right. It is also important to be aware of what the spindle length is and the distance from the base of the handle to the top of the handle.

Identifying if your windows need a restrictor is also essential when choosing the appropriate handle. These are typically used in high-rise flats or commercial structures, but are not required for homes that are primarily residential. Lastly, you should also consider step height which is the distance from the bottom of the screw plate to the nose of the handle.

The word spade originates from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into many languages including German spaten and Low German spathen. During the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in New York City the word spade was used to denigrate black people. Spade has since risen to prominence in pop culture and is a widely-respected symbol of African American heritage and pride.

It is important to get the right size when replacing a handle made of Cadenza. Handles are available in straight and angled styles that differ by a few millimeters. The handle head is available in a variety of designs, including the T or D shapes. It can also be left without handles.
