Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Most replacement upvc windows handles include everything you need. However the handle you had previously was fixed by pins or screws, they will need to removed. Take off the "snap-in" cover at the base of your handle.

You'll need to determine what kind of window lock and handle you're replacing. This is crucial!

Espag

Espag handles are a system of multipoint locks fitted to casement window types such as uPVC or wooden double glazing. They have a 7mm square spindle that is fitted into the gearbox of a uPVC window and when the handle is turned, it triggers with a series of locks that run around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles, also referred to as shootbolts, give more security than the single point lock that is found on older frames.

They are available in a variety of different styles, such as inline and cranked handles that can be used either left or right hand operation. There are also ergonomic handles that enhance the appearance and feel of your window as well as the handle.

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

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

After removing the handle you can open the locking mechanism inside the frame of the windows and take out the cockspur block attached adjacent to the handle. This will allow the window to be opened. The replacement uPVC window handles you have purchased should be able to fit on the wedge block of the cockspur and then into the spindle for the handle and allow the window to open once again. The ideal solution is to replace the cockspur wedge block with an entirely new one when you change your uPVC handle to ensure that it is securely secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are usually found on older uPVC and aluminium 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 models. They are available in various nose heights that can be adjusted to the existing frame.

The handle locks by an small spur (little triangle bit) pulling up against a wedge made of plastic that is fixed to the frame. These are generally one way handles, however a locking deadlock cylinder can be added for extra security.

The replacement handles for windows cockspur handles are simple to install. All you require is the correct backset and 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, so it is crucial to measure before purchasing the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

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

It is a simple to install replacement for the cockspur handle that is perfect for repairing or replacing old uPVC windows. They feature a universal design which makes them suitable for a variety of profiles and backsets. Each handle has three packers, each of a different thickness. These are neatly installed on the underside of handles and can be stacked to achieve backsets as small as 9mm or as high as 21mm. They are available in right and left handed versions and come with lockable or nonlockable models with a range of nose heights.

Turn and tilt

Tilt and turn windows are a popular European window design that has been used for decades in Europe, but is only just starting to catch on stateside. The windows are a combination of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing and pivot. They are ideal for older homes as they provide more ventilation than standard windows.

When in the closed position, tilt and turn windows lock as a normal fixed window. 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 glass replacements near me can be tilted into allowing air to circulate through the opening at the top of the frame. This is a great method to ventilate without having to open the large potentially dangerous window.

If the handle is turned another 90or 180 degrees the sash will be fully opened, much like a door. This allows for complete air circulation which is especially beneficial for rooms that are smoky or where smells or smoke can accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass window replacements near me much easier since it can be done from inside the home which usually requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

Tilt and turn windows are also very secure. When they are locked in the closed position, they are difficult to open from the outside and they come with double seals that prevent rainwater from entering the home when they are in the tilted or in-swing position. This can be a particularly helpful feature for older homes, where burglars 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 upvc double-glazed windows. There are two primary kinds of handles: Cockspur and Espag. Other options include tilt and turn handles as well as blade or spade handles as well as monkey tail handles and a variety of other types. The kind of handle you pick will depend on the style you prefer and the kind of windows you have.

To choose the right replacement upvc window handle, you need to know how your existing handle is attached to the frame. This is called handing and is an essential aspect to know, particularly when buying online as some handle styles don't work with all windows. Some handles, for instance, are angled whereas others are straight and can turn either left or right. You'll also need the size of the spindle that is the distance between the base of the handle and the handle's head.

Another important part of choosing the right handle is knowing whether your windows require a restrictor or not. These are typically used in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, however they are not a requirement for domestic homes. It is also important to take into consideration the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of the handle.

Spade comes from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada and 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 a widely recognized symbol of African American heritage and pride.

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