Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Most replacement upvc windows handles come with everything you require. However should you find that your old handle was fixed by screws or pins, they'll need to be removed. Then, remove the'snap-in' cover on the base of the handle.

The next step is to determine what kind of window lock and handle you are replacing. This is vital!

Espag

Espag handles are a multipoint lock system that is installed on casement windows, such as uPVC and wooden double glazing. They have a 7mm square spindle which is fitted into the gearbox of a uPVC window and when the handle is turned, it operates a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles are also known as shootbolt handles. They provide extra security compared to the typical single point lock used on older window frames.

They are available in a range of different styles, such as inline and cranked handle designs that can be used for either left or right-hand operation. You can also find ergonomic handles that improve 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 need to identify the size of the spindle installed and measure the measurement from the base of the handle in order to purchase the correct replacement window. This measurement, known as the step height will assist you in selecting the best uPVC window handle for your home.

If you need to remove any screws that are holding the handle, you can use pliers or a screwdriver. After removing the pins or screws that secure the spindle you can take it apart to disassemble the handle.

After removing the handle, you can access the locking mechanism within 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 window handles you have purchased should be able to fit onto the cockspur wedge block, and then into the spindle for the handle, allowing the window to open once again. Ideally, you should replace the cockspur wedge block an entirely new one when you change your uPVC handle to ensure that it is securely secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are found on older uPVC or 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.) The handles are available in lockable and nonlockable models. They are available in a variety of different nose heights to suit the frame.

The handle locks with an small spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a wedge made of plastic which is attached to the frame. These are usually one-way handles, but the deadlock that locks can be fitted to provide additional security.

The replacement handles for cockspurs are easy to put in. All you require is the correct backset and a brand new set (supplied). The backset is the distance from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. In general Aluminium window frames usually have a backset of 9mm, whereas UPVC employs 21mm. There are also many variations, so it's important to take measurements prior to purchasing the handle.

This type of window handle can be changed by unscrewing the current handle and taking off the spindle, or in certain cases the whole handle assembly. The new handle can be screwed into place with two pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screws can be purchased in a brass or zinc finish to match the existing hardware. There is also the possibility of a self-locking version.

This is an easy to install replacement for the cockspur handle that is ideal for repairing or replacing old uPVC windows. They have a universal design, making them suitable for a variety of profiles and backsets. Each handle comes with 3 packers that vary in thickness. They are placed on the underside of the handle nose and can be used in different ways to create backsets of 9, 13mm 17mm, 21mm, and 13mm. The handles are available in both left and right-handed versions, and are available in lockable and nonlockable versions. They also come in a variety nose heights.

Tilt and Turn

The premium European window style with tilt and turn has been around in Europe for a long time, but it's just now beginning to take off in the United States. They combine the functionality of three window styles into one - tilt, pivot, and in-swing. This makes them ideal for older homes, as they can provide more ventilation than standard window types.

When closed, tilt and turn windows lock like a normal fixed window. By turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened inward and the window will tilt in to allow air exchange through the opening at the top of the frame. This is an excellent way to let air circulate without having to open a large potentially dangerous window.

If the handle is turned 90@ or 180@ the sash can be fully opened, much like doors. This permits complete air circulation which is especially beneficial in rooms with a lot of draft or where smoke or other odors can accumulate. This makes it easier to clean the outside of the glass by doing it from inside your home. This is a job that can be a risky task.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very safe. They are extremely difficult to open when locked in closed position. They also feature double seals that prevent rainwater from entering your home when it is in the tilted position or in swing. This feature is particularly useful for older homes where burglars tend to target windows which can be opened by the side hinges.

Spade

There are many kinds of window handles that can be installed to upvc double glazed windows. There are two main kinds of handles: Cockspur and Espag. Other choices include tilt and turn handles, spade or blade handles as well as monkey tail handles, and various other types. The kind of handle you pick will depend on the style you prefer and the kind of windows you have.

It is important to be aware of how your current handle is connected to the frame to choose the right replacement Upvc handle. This is known as handing and is a crucial piece of information, especially when shopping online, as certain handle variations don't fit all windows. For instance, some handles are angled whilst others are straight and will turn left or right. You will also need the size of the spindle which is the distance between the base of the handle and the head of the handle.

Knowing whether or not your windows need a restrictor is also important when choosing the correct handle. These are usually used in high-rise apartments or commercial buildings, however they're not a requirement for most domestic homes. Lastly, you should also take into consideration step height, which is the distance from the top of the screw plate to the apex of the handle.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada and has been translated into a variety of 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 denigrate black people. Since then, the word has become a symbol of African American pride and heritage.

It is essential to choose the correct size when replacing a handle that is Cadenza-style. The handles are available in straight and angled versions that differ by a few millimetres. The handle head can also be shaped in a D or a T-shaped shape, or have no handles at all.
