Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Most replacement upvc window handles come with everything you need to complete the task. However, if the old handle was fitted with screws or pins holding it, these are required to be removed. Remove the'snap-in' covers 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 vital!

Espag

Espag handles are a set of multipoint locks that are designed to fit on casement windows such as uPVC or wooden double glazing. The handle has a 7mm square shaft that fits into a gearbox on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it triggers a series of locks around the window's perimeter. Espag handles are also known as shootbolt handles and offer more security than the typical single point lock found on older window frames.

There are many options to choose from with cranked and inline handles that can be operated using either the left or right hand. There is also various ergonomically designed handles that are made to enhance the feeling of the handle and the way it appears on your windows.

If you're looking to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag handle, you will have to determine the size of the spindle fitted and measure this from the base of the handle to ensure you get the right replacement sash windows. This measurement is known as step height. It will help you find the perfect uPVC handle for your home.

If you need to remove any screws that secure the handle, you can use the screwdriver or pliers. After taking off the screws or pins that hold the spindle in place, you can disassemble the handle.

When you have the handle removed, you'll be able to access the locking mechanism inside the frame of the window. You can then remove the cockspur wedge block that is attached to the handle, allowing the window to open. The replacement uPVC handles you purchased will be able to slide over the cockspur block and then into the handle spindle, allowing the window to be opened again. If you want to be sure that your uPVC handles are secure, it's best to replace the cockspur block with a brand new one.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. The handle closes and turns onto a wedge-shaped plastic receiver catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches, which are also covered in this section.) These handles can be lockable or nonlockable. They are available in different nose heights that can be adapted to the existing frame.

The handle locks with a thin spur (little triangle bit) pulling up against a plastic wedge which is attached to the frame. These are generally one way handles however a deadlock lock cylinder that locks is a possibility to add security.

The replacement glass for window handles for cockspurs are easy to put in. All you need is the correct backset and a new set (supplied). The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the nose of the handle. Aluminium window frames are usually 9mm wide, while UPVC is 21mm wide. There are many other variations however, so it is crucial to measure the handle prior to buying the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

This type 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 replacement handle can then be screwed into place with the help of pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screws are available in zinc or brass finishes to match the hardware, and there is the option of a self-locking version.

This cockspur handle can be simple to install and is ideal to replace or repair old uPVC Windows. They feature a universal design that makes them suitable for all profiles and backsets. Each handle comes with three packers, each with different thicknesses. They are installed on the underside of the handle noses and can be stacked to create backsets as small as 9mm or as large 21mm. These handles are available in left and right-handed models, as well as lockable and nonlockable versions. They are also available with a variety of nose heights.

Turn and Tilt

The most prestigious European window style of tilt and turn has been around in Europe for a long time, but it is only now starting to catch on in the American market. They combine the functionality of three window styles into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. They are great for older homes because they are more breathable than standard windows.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they lock like any other fixed window. However, by turning the handle 90° or 180@ (depending on the type of tilt and turn window) the window sash will open inwards and the window will tilt in order to allow air circulation through the space at the top of the frame. This is a great way to allow air circulation without opening an enormous, potentially dangerous window.

If the handle is turned a further 90@ or 180@ the sash can be fully opened, much like the door. This allows full air exchange which is especially useful in draughty rooms or houses where odors from smoke or other sources are likely to accumulate. This allows you to easily clean the glass's exterior by doing it from inside your home. This is a task which often requires precarious steps.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very secure. When locked in a closed position, they are difficult to open from the outside, and they feature double seals that stop rainwater from entering the house when in the tilted in-swing position. This can be a particularly useful feature for older homes where intruders are more likely to target windows that are opened using the side hinges.

Spade

There are a few different types of window handles that can be installed to 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 handles. The type of handle that you choose will depend upon your preferences as well as the type of windows you have.

To choose the appropriate replacement for your upvc window handle, you need to know how your current handle is attached to the frame. This is known as handing and is a crucial aspect to know, particularly when buying online as some handle styles don't work with all windows. Certain cockspur handles, as an instance, are angled whereas others are straight and can be turned left or right. You will also need to be aware of what the spindle length is and the distance from the base of the handle to the top of the handle.

Knowing whether or not your windows require a restrictor is also essential when choosing the right handle. They are generally employed in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, however they are not required for homes that are primarily residential. Additionally, you must consider step height which is the distance from the bottom of the screw plate to the top of the handle.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into numerous languages, including German spaten and Low German spathen. In 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 now a well-known symbol of African American heritage and pride.

It is important to get the right size when replacing a Cadenza-style handle. The handles are available in both straight and angled versions that differ by just a few millimetres. The handle head is available in a variety of shapes that include a D or T shape. It is also possible to be left with handles.
