Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Almost all replacement upvc window handles come with everything you need, however if the previous handle was fitted with screws or pins holding it, these will need to be removed. Take off the "snap-in" cover at the base of your handle.

The next step is to determine what kind of window lock and handle you want to replace. This is important!

Espag

Espag handles are a multipoint lock that is installed on casement windows, such as uPVC and double glazing made of wood. They come with a 7mm square spindle that fits 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, give more security than the single point locks found on older window frames.

There are a range of options to choose from, including inline and cranked handles that can be operated using either the right or left hand. You can also find ergonomic handles that improve the appearance and feel of your window, as well as the handle.

If you're looking to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you'll need to identify the size of the spindle installed and measure the measurement from the base of the handle to ensure that you order the correct replacement. This measurement, also known as the step height will assist you in selecting the perfect uPVC window handle for your home.

You may need to remove any screws which protect the screws that hold the handle in place, and if this is the case, you can use a screwdriver to remove these or pliers to break the pins that hold the handle. After removing the pins or screws that hold the spindle together then you can remove the handle.

Once you have the handle removed, you'll be able to access the locking mechanism within the frame of the window and remove the wedge block cockspur that is attached to the handle, allowing the window to open. The new uPVC window handles you've ordered should now be able to fit on the cockspur wedge block and then into the handle spindle which will allow the window to open again. Ideally, you should replace the cockspur wedge block with a new one whenever you replace your uPVC handle to ensure it is securely secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are commonly found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. The handle is turned and then closes over an aluminum wedge-shaped receiver catch (not to be confused with timber window latches that are also covered in this section). These handles can be lockable or nonlockable. They are available in a range of different nose sizes to match the frame.

The handle is locked by small triangle-shaped spur (spur) that is attached to the frame. They are typically one-way handles however a deadlock lock cylinder that locks can be added for extra security.

Like the Espag handles cockspur handle replacements are simple to put in place all you need is an additional set of screws (supplied) and the proper backset. The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. As a general rule Aluminium window frames typically have a backset of 9mm, whereas UPVC employs 21mm. There are a myriad of variations however, so it is crucial to take a measurement before buying the handle (see video below for how).

The spindle or, in certain instances the entire handle assembly can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The replacement handle is then screwed in place with a pair of pozidrivs screws. The pozidriv screw is available in a brass or a zinc finish, to match existing hardware. There is also an option of a self-locking pozidriv screw.

This cockspur handle is simple to install and is perfect to replace or repair old uPVC Windows. They have an universal design, making them suitable for all profiles and backsets. Each handle is supplied with three packers of varying thickness, these are neatly attached to the underside of the handle nose and can be used in different ways to achieve backsets of 9, 13mm, 17mm and 21mm. The handles are available in left and right-handed models, as well as lockable and nonlockable versions. They are also available in a variety of nose heights.

Turn and Tilt

Tilt and turn windows are a coveted European window design that has been used for decades in Europe however, it is only beginning to gain traction in the US. They combine the advantages of three different window types into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. This makes them suitable for older homes since they can provide a greater level of airflow than standard window styles.

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

If the handle is turned another 90@ or 180@, the sash can be fully opened, much like a door. This allows full air circulation, which is particularly beneficial in rooms with a lot of draft or homes where smoke or other odors can build up. This allows you to easily clean the glass's exterior by doing it from inside your home. This is a job that can be a risky task.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very secure. They are extremely difficult to open if locked in closed position. They also have double seals which keep rainwater out of your home while in the tilted position or in swing. This feature is particularly useful for older homes where burglars tend to target windows that can be opened using side hinges.

Spade

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

To choose the correct replacement glass in windows for your window handle, it is important to know how your current handle is fixed to the frame. This is known as handing and is a crucial element to be aware of when buying online. Some handle variations don't fit all windows. For instance, certain cockspur handles are angled, while others are straight and turn either left or right. You will also need the size of the spindle that is the distance between the base of the handle and the handle's head.

Another aspect to consider when choosing the right handle is determining whether your windows require a restrictor or not. They are typically used in high-rise flats or commercial properties, but they're not required for most domestic homes. It is also important to consider the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of handle.

The word spade originates from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into numerous 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. Since the time spade has been a symbol of African American pride and heritage.

It is essential to choose the right size when replacing a handle made of Cadenza. The handles are available in both straight and angled designs that differ by a few millimetres. The handle head can vary between a D and a T-shaped shape, or be without handles at all.
