replacement double glazed windows Upvc Window Handles

Almost all replacement window handles made of upvc include everything you require, however if the previous handle was fitted with screws or pins holding it, these will need to be removed. Then, you need to remove the snap-in cover that is on the base of the handle.

You'll need to identify what type of window lock and handle you are replacing. This is vital!

Espag

Espag handles are a system of multipoint locks that are fitted to casement window types like uPVC or wooden double glazing. The handle has a 7mm square shaft that fits inside an internal gearbox that is mounted on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it will activate a series of locks around the window replacements's perimeter. Espag handles, also referred as shootbolts, provide more security than the single point lock that is found on older frames.

You will need to measure the size of the spindle from base of your uPVC handle if you want to order the correct replacement. This measurement, also known as the step height will help you choose the perfect uPVC window handle for your home.

You may need to remove any screw covers that are protecting the screws that hold the handle in place and if that's the case, you can use a screwdriver or pliers to break the pins holding the handle. After this is done, you will need to disassemble the handle by removing the screw or pins that secure the spindle and then pulling away from the window.

Once you have the handle removed, you will then be able to access the locking mechanism within the frame of the window and remove the wedge block cockspur that is fitted adjacent to the handle in order to allow the window to open. The replacement uPVC handles you purchased should be able to slide onto the cockspur block and then into the handle spindle, allowing the window to be opened again. If you want to make sure that your uPVC handles are securely secured you should replace the cockspur block with a brand new one.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are found on older uPVC or aluminum windows. The handle turns and closes on an aluminum wedge-shaped receiver catch (not to be confused with window latches made from timber that are also covered in this section). These handles are available in lockable and nonlockable versions. They are available in a range of different nose heights to fit the frame.

The handle is secured by small triangle-shaped spur (spur) which is fixed to the frame. These are generally one way handles, however a deadlock lock cylinder that locks can be fitted for additional security.

The replacement cockspur handles are also easy to install. All you need is the correct backset as well as a new set (supplied). The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. In general Aluminium window frames tend to use a 9mm backset while UPVC utilizes 21mm. There are many other variations though so it is important to measure before purchasing the handle (see video below for how).

The spindle, or in some cases the entire handle assembly is removed by unwinding the handle. The replacement handle can then be screwed into place with two pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screw is available in a brass or a zinc finish to match the existing hardware. There is also an option for a self-locking pozidriv screw.

It is a simple 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 all profiles and backsets. Each handle has three packers, each of a different thickness. They are installed on the underside of handles and can be combined to create backsets as small as 9-13mm or as big as 21mm. They are available in right and left handed models and are available in either lockable or nonlockable versions with a choice of nose heights.

Tilt and turn

The top European window style of tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for a long time, but it's only just beginning to catch on in the United States. They combine the benefits of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing, and pivot. They are great for older homes because they are more breathable than standard windows.

When closed tilt and turn windows close like windows that are fixed in normal fashion. But, 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 a great option to allow ventilation without having to open a large windows, which could pose a safety danger if not properly secured when opening.

If the handle is turned another 90@ or 180@, domestic the sash can be fully opened like a door. This allows for full air circulation, which is particularly useful for rooms that are smoky or where smells or smoke can accumulate. This makes it easier to clean the glass's outside by doing it from inside your home. This is a job which often requires precarious steps.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also safe. When locked in the closed position, they are very difficult to open from outside, and they come with double seals to prevent rainwater from getting into the home when in the tilted in-swing position. This feature is particularly beneficial for older homes, where burglars tend to target windows that can be opened using side hinges.

Spade

There are several different types of handles that can be put in on windows with double-glazed upvc. There are two main types of handles: Cockspur and Espag. Other choices include tilt and turn handles, blade or spade handles as well as monkey tail handles, and various other styles. The type of handle that you pick will be based on your preferences and the type of windows you have.

In order to choose the correct replacement for your window handle, you have to know how your existing handle is attached to the frame. This is known as handing. It is a crucial element to consider, particularly when shopping online, as certain handle styles don't work with all windows. For example, some cockspur handles are angled, whilst others are straight and either turn left or right. You will also need to know what the spindle length is that is the distance from the base of the handle to the head of the handle.

Another aspect to consider when choosing the correct handle is knowing whether your windows require a restrictor or not. They are typically used in high-rise apartments or commercial buildings, but they aren't a requirement for homes that are mostly domestic. It is also important to be aware of the step height which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of handle.

Spade comes from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into many languages, domestic including German spaten and Low German spathen. During the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in New York City the word spade was used to mock black people. The term has since come to prominence in pop culture and is now a well-known symbol of African American heritage and pride.

It is essential to choose the correct size when replacing a handle that is Cadenza-style. The handles are available in angled and straight versions which differ by only a few millimetres. The handle head can vary between a D and T shape, or be without handles at all.
