Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Espag

Espag handles are a system of multipoint locks that are suitable for casement windows such as uPVC or wooden double glazing. They come with seven millimetre square spindles that fits into the gearbox on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it triggers an array of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles are also known as shootbolt handles and provide more security than the typical single point lock found on older window frames.

There are a range of options available with cranked and inline handles that can be operated with either the left or right hand. There are also ergonomic handles that improve the look and feel of your window, as well as the handle.

You'll need to measure the size of the spindle from the base of your uPVC handle if you want to purchase the right replacement. This measurement, known as the step height, will help you select the perfect uPVC window handle for your home.

If you need to remove any screws that are holding the handle, use pliers or a screwdriver. After this is done then you must remove the handle from the frame by taking off the screws or pins that secure the spindle, and then taking away from the window.

After you have removed the handle, you can open the locking mechanism inside the frame of the windows and remove the cockspur block that is connected to the handle. This will allow the window to be opened. The replacement uPVC handles you have ordered will be able to slide over the cockspur block and then into handle spindle to allow the window to be opened again. If you want to make sure that your uPVC handles are securely secured you should replace the cockspur block with a brand new one.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are generally found on older uPVC and aluminium windows. The handle closes and turns 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 non-lockable. They are available in a range of different nose heights to fit the frame.

The handle locks by an small spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a wedge of plastic which is attached to the frame. They are usually one-way handles, however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism is a possibility to add security.

As with Espag handles cockspur handle replacements are simple to install All you require is a new set of screws (supplied) and the proper backset. The backset is measured from the baseplate to the underside of the nose of the handle. Aluminium window pane replacement frames are usually 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are a variety of other options however, so it is crucial to measure the handle prior to buying the handle (see video below for how).

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

This cockspur handle is simple to install and is perfect for replacing or repairing old uPVC Windows. They have an unidirectional design that makes them suitable for commercial all profiles and backsets. Each handle is supplied with 3 packers of different thickness, these are neatly attached to the side of the handle's nose and can be combined in a variety of ways to achieve backsets of 9-13mm, 17mm and 21mm. The handles are available in left and right-handed models, and in lockable and nonlockable models. They are also available in a variety nose heights.

Tilt and Turn

The premium European window style of tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for a long time, however it's only just beginning to gain popularity in the American market. They combine the advantages of three window styles into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. This makes them perfect for older homes as they are able to provide more airflow than standard window styles.

When in the closed position, tilt and turn windows lock like the normal fixed window. By turning the handle 90@ or 180@, depending on the type of tilt-and turn window the sash will slide inwards and the window tilts inward to allow air to circulate. This is a great method to allow ventilation without having to open a large window, which could pose a security risk if not properly secured when opening.

The sash can be fully opened by turning the handle 90@ or 180@. This allows for full air exchange, which is particularly useful in draughty rooms or houses where odors from smoke or other sources can accumulate. This allows you to easily clean the outside of the glass by doing it from inside your home. This is a task which often requires precarious steps.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very safe. When locked in the closed position, they are very difficult to open from the outside and they feature double seals to prevent rainwater from getting into 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 windows that can be opened from the side hinges.

Spade

There are a variety of handles that are able to be fitted on double-glazed windows made of upvc. The two most popular kinds are Espag handles and Cockspur handles. There are also tilt and turn handles, spade or blade handles, and monkey tail handle. The type of handle you select will depend on your preferences and the type of windows you have.

In order to choose the correct replacement for your window handle, you have to know how your current handle is fixed to the frame. This is known as handing and is an essential piece of information, especially when buying online as some handle styles don't work with all windows. For instance, some handles for cockspurs are angled, whilst others are straight and turn left or right. You will also need the size of the spindle that is the distance between the base of handle and the head of handle.

Another crucial aspect of selecting the correct handle is knowing whether your windows need a restrictor or not. These are usually used in high rise flats or commercial buildings, but they're not required for the majority of homes. It is also important to take into consideration the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the nose of handle.

The word spade originates from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada and 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 mock black people. Since then spade has become 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 straight and angled versions that differ by just a few millimetres. The handle head can also be shaped in a D or a T shape, or even have no handles at all.
