Cockspur Handles

Cockspur handles, which are often found on older uPVC or aluminum doors and windows, are a simple latch-and-catch arrangement. The handle nose is attached to or inserted into the catch which is a wedge of plastic, which is attached to the frame of the window. Since the wedges come in various sizes, it is essential that you know what step height you need to buy prior to purchasing a new handle. Typically, uPVC frames have a handle step of 9mm and aluminum frames typically have 21mm as the step size.

A cockspur handle can be locked with the key, providing added security for your home. The lock is installed into the handle with an appropriate spindle that fits in the hole in the handle (also known as a backset). The spindle has a 7mm square cross-section and is used to open or close the window.

Tilt and Turn Handles

Tilt and turn handles are a popular type of handle, which are commonly seen on double-glazed windows in the UK. Both upvc windows and timber ones have these handles. The handle is generally positioned at 90 degrees, however it is also able to be turned to 180 degrees. This lets the window be fully opened into the room and also be lowered for ventilation. The handle is locked in this position, requiring keys to unlock the handle when it is required to open it.

This type of handle can be easily changed, since it has only one large handle, not a number of smaller ones. This reduces the overall look of the handle and is more in keeping with the modern minimalistic design trends. They are also easier to clean as they open inwards.

They are also 4 to 8 times stronger than a conventional casement window. This makes them ideal for larger windows and doors. The frames also have a steel core which increases the strength and durability.

The tilt-and-turn mechanism is more secure than a casement since the handle can be locked in any position. This is especially crucial in areas where children could live, since it will prevent children from opening the window.

Many homes opt to tilt and turn windows because they can be used in different ways. They can be opened horizontally, as a normal window or lowered to the style of a hopper. This is a great choice for those who wish to improve the airflow in their homes and can also help with noise reduction. They are also easy to clean and maintain because the glass is easily removable. They are available in various sizes and colors. These windows can be used in any home, and complement both modern and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles require only a little effort to open, and permit a stunning view of the outdoors without obstructing the glass. These handles are usually used on casement windows that are hinged on the sides or awning windows. They have the same mechanism as a window bar and linkage arm that supports the window sash which can be opened or closed by turning the handle in the clockwise direction. Unlike other types of handles that are geared towards windows, a crank window's mechanism and handle are subject to significant wear and tear, which could cause the gears to strip and the handle to stop functioning or fall off the shaft of the operator. Inspecting both the crank handle and the operator mechanism regularly will ensure that they remain in good shape for many years to come.

A crank handle is composed of a shaft made of metal that rotates perpendicularly and is attached to an arm. The handle is operated manually by grabbing it and turning it in a circular motion, much like you would use a pencil sharpener. In some cases, the handle can be operated by the leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. It's this hole that allows it to connect to equipment and machinery. The handle's arm is equipped with an attaching bar that transforms the circular motion of the handle into reciprocating and rotary motions to operate machines and equipment.

Boats are usually transported on trailers using crank handles, as well as the adjusting equipment and machinery. They are typically made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion in marine environments. The majority of boat crank handles have been coated with a powder coat to protect them from damage and make them easier to clean.

Window-Repairs.-150x150.jpgReplace the crank handle if it stops working or does not allow you to open the window. Find the trim mounting screws in the track of the window frame. If there are none to be found, you can use a strong putty blade to release the cover by sliding it between the window jambs and the frame. If this doesn't work, then you can take the cover off and get access to the crank mechanism by unscrewing the screws in the window frame.
