Espag handles are a multipoint lock system that can be fitted to casement windows such as uPVC and wooden double glazing. The handle is fitted with a 7mm square shaft that is fitted into an internal gearbox that is mounted on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it will activate a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles are also known as shootbolt handles.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are typically found on older uPVC and aluminium windows. The handle rotates and closes on the receiver, which is a wedge-shaped plastic catch (not to be confused with window latches made from timber which are also handled in this section). These handles are available in lockable and nonlockable models. They are available in a variety of nose sizes that can be adapted to the existing frame.

The handle locks with the thin spur (little triangle bit) pulling up against a plastic wedge which is attached to the frame. These are generally one way handles, however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism can be added for extra security.

There are also many variations, so it's essential to measure before buying the handle.

They are an unidirectional design that makes them suitable for all backsets and profiles. Each handle has three packers, each with different thicknesses. They are installed on the underside of handle noses and can be used together to make backsets as tiny as 9mm or as big as 21mm. These handles are available in left and right-handed versions, and in lockable and nonlockable models. They also come in a variety of nose heights.

Tilt and Turn

Tilt and turn windows are a coveted European window style that has been used for decades in Europe but is getting noticed in the United States. The windows are a combination of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing and pivot. This makes them suitable for older homes since they can be used to provide more airflow than standard window styles.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they are locked like any other 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 can be tilted in to allow air exchange through the gap at the top of the frame. This is a great method for ventilation without the need to open a large windows, which can be a safety risk if not properly secured when opening.

The sash can also be opened fully by turning the handle 90or 180@. This permits complete air circulation, which is particularly useful for rooms that are smoky or where smells or smoke can build up. It also makes cleaning the outside of the glass much easier as it can be done inside the home which usually requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very safe. 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 in the tilted in-swing position. This is a useful feature for older homes, where burglars are more likely to target windows that are opened using the side hinges.

Spade

There are a variety of handles that can be installed on windows with double-glazed upvc. There are two primary kinds of handles: Cockspur and Espag. Other choices include tilt and turn handles, blade or spade handles, monkey tail handles and other styles. The type of handle that you choose will depend upon your preferences as well as the type of windows you have.

It is important to know how the handle you have currently is attached to the frame in order to select the appropriate replacement upvc handle.

For example, some handles are angled while others are straight and turn either 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 right handle is knowing whether your windows require a restrictor or not. These are usually used in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, however they're not required for homes that are mostly domestic. Lastly, you should also consider step height which is the distance from the top of the screw plate to 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. The term has since come to prominence in pop culture and replacement uPVC window handles is a widely-respected symbol of African American heritage and pride.

It is important to get the correct size when replacing a handle that is Cadenza-style. Handles are available in straight and angled styles that differ by only a few microns. The handle head may change between a D and a T-shaped shape, or have no handles at all.
