Replacement Upvc Window Handles

The majority of replacement upvc window handles include everything you require but if the original handle had pins or screws that were holding it, they must be removed. Then, you need to remove the snap-in cover at the handle's base.

The next step is to determine the type of window and lock that your new handle is for It is essential!

Espag

Espag handles are a set of multipoint locks that are fitted to casement window types such as uPVC or wooden double glazing. The handle is fitted with a 7mm square shaft that is fitted into 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 and offer extra security compared to the standard single point lock that is 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. There is also a variety of ergonomically designed handles that are made to enhance the feel of the handle and how it appears on your windows.

If you're looking to replace your existing uPVC window handle with an espag handle, you will need to identify the size of the spindle installed and measure it from the base of the handle to ensure you purchase the correct replacement. This measurement is referred to as step height and can help you find the perfect uPVC handle for your home.

If you have to remove any screws that secure the handle, use the screwdriver or pliers. After removing the pins or screws that hold the spindle in place you can take it apart to disassemble the handle.

When you have the handle removed, you will then be capable of accessing the locking mechanism inside the frame of the window and take out the wedge block cockspur that is placed next to the handle to allow the window to open. The replacement uPVC window handles you have purchased should be able to fit onto the cockspur wedge block and then into the handle spindle which will allow the window to open again. If you want to be sure that your uPVC handles are secure, it's best to replace window handles the cockspur block the brand new block.

Cockspur

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

The handle is secured by a small triangle-shaped spur (spur) which is fixed to the frame. These are generally one way handles however a locking deadlock cylinder can be fitted for additional security.

The replacement handles for cockspurs 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 of the nose of the handle. Aluminium window frames are generally 9mm wide, while UPVC is 21mm wide. There are many other variations however it is essential to take a measurement before purchasing the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

This kind of window handle can be substituted by simply removing the existing handle and removing the spindle, or in certain instances, the entire handle assembly. The new handle will then be screwed into place with a pair of pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screws come in zinc or brass finishes to match the hardware, and there is the option of a self-locking version.

This cockspur handle is simple to install and is ideal for residential replacing or repairing old uPVC Windows. They have a universal design that makes them suitable for all profiles and backsets. Each handle comes with three packers, each having different thicknesses. They are installed on the underside of handles and can be combined to create backsets as small as 9-13mm or as big as 21mm. They are available in left and right handed versions and come with nonlockable or lockable models, with a choice of nose heights.

Turn and Tilt

Tilt and turn windows are a premium European window style that has been in use for a long time in Europe, but is only just starting to catch on stateside. The windows combine the functionality of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing, and pivot. They are perfect for older homes because they are more breathable than conventional 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 type of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened inward and the window will tilt into allowing air to circulate through the gap at the top of the frame. This is a great solution to let air circulate without the need to open a large window which can be a safety risk if not properly secured when opening.

If the handle is turned another 90@ or 180@ the sash will be fully opened like doors. This allows complete air circulation, which is particularly useful in draughty rooms or homes where smoke or other odors can accumulate. This makes it easier to clean the glass's outside, as you can do it from inside your home. This is a task that can be a risky task.

Tilt and turn windows are also very secure. They are very difficult to open if locked in the closed position. They also have double seals which stop 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 a variety of handles that can be put in on 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, monkey tail handles and other kinds. The type of handle you pick will be based on your preferences and the kind of windows you have.

To choose the appropriate replacement double glazed windows for your upvc window handle, it is important to know how the existing handle is attached to the frame. This is known as handing and is a vital piece of information, especially when purchasing online since some handles aren't suitable for all windows. For instance, certain cockspur handles are angled, while others are straight and will turn left or right. You will also need 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 crucial when selecting the correct handle. They are generally used in high-rise flats or commercial structures, but are not required for homes that are primarily residential. It is also important to be aware of the step height which is the distance between the screw plate and the nose of the handle.

The word spade comes from Old English spadu or spaedu and has been translated into many 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. Spade has since risen to prominence in pop culture and is a widely-respected symbol of African American heritage and pride.

When replacing a Cadenza style handle, it is essential that you choose the right size. Handles are available in straight and angled versions that differ by a few millimeters. The handle head is available in a variety of shapes such as a T or D shape. It is also possible to be left with handles.
