Replacement Handles For UPVC Windows

UPVC window handles are available in a variety of designs, but they all have the same locking mechanism. To replace a uPVC window handle, take off the top screw located at the base of the handle. This will reveal two screws.

Then, take a measurement of the spindle to make sure the new handle is suitable. It is essential to identify the type of handle you have as there are several sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Most double-glazed windows have Espagnolette handles which operate multi-point locks for improved security. They operate by virtue of the 7mm square spindle on the back of the handle which connects with a gearbox inside the window frame, which turns multi-lock mushrooms when turned. They come in a variety of styles comprising cranked, inline key locking and cockspur handles and they can also be provided as sets to replace one handle that is broken or worn out.

These uPVC handles come with all the fixing screws as well as a range of spindle sizes suitable for the majority of applications.

Cockspur Handles

Cockspur handles, which are typically found on older uPVC or aluminum doors and windows, are a simple latch-and-catch arrangement. The handle's nose is closed onto or into the catch, which is a wedge block made of plastic mounted on the window frame. The wedges are available in different sizes, so it is important to know what step height you require prior to buying a replacement handle. Typically, uPVC frames have a handle step of 9mm. aluminum frames usually have a step height of 21mm.

The cockspur handle is lockable with a key, providing security to your home. The lock is fitted inside the handle using an appropriate spindle that fits in the hole of the handle (also known as a backset). The spindle is 7mm square in cross-section and can be used to open or shut the window.

It is essential to make sure that the new cockspur handle is the same height of the original. Usually, this is measured from the bottom of the spur on the handle to the underside of the nose of the handle. This measurement is often referred to as the stack height or backset. It is important to know this information prior to purchasing any handle.

Cockspur handles are available as straight/universal, cranked, leftor right-handed versions. This is to allow the handles to be installed on windows that open from the left or right and to allow the operator easier access to the window.

Tilt and Turn Handles

The mechanism for the crank window, unlike other handles, is usually subjected to an extensive amount of wear and tear. This could cause the gears and handle to break or fall off the shaft that controls the operator. Regularly inspecting the handle and the operator mechanism will ensure that they are in good condition for many years.

A crank handle is made up of a mechanical shaft which rotates perpendicularly, and is attached to an arm. The arm is rotated in a circular direction by gripping and rotating it, much like you would operate a sharpener. In certain instances the handle could be operated by a leg.

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

Boats are typically transported on trailers using crank handles, in addition to machines and equipment that can be adjusted.
