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. Next remove the'snap in' cover on the base of the handle.

You'll need to determine the type of window lock and handle you are replacing. This is important!

Espag

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 fits inside a gearbox on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it activates a series locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles are also referred to as shootbolt handles and provide extra security compared to the typical single point lock found on older frames.

They are available in a range of different designs, including inline and cranked handle designs that can be used for either left or right-hand operation. There are also ergonomic handles that enhance the look and feel of your window, as well as the handle.

If you're looking to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you will have to determine the size of the spindle that is installed and measure the measurement from the base of the handle to ensure you get the right replacement. This measurement, known as the step height, will help you select the ideal uPVC window handle for your home.

You may have to remove any screw covers that protect the screws that hold the handle in place and if this is the case, you can use the screwdriver or pliers to remove the pins that hold the handle. Once this is done then you must disassemble the handle by removing the screw or pins that secure the spindle before taking away from the window.

After removing the handle you can access 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 that you've ordered should now be able to fit on the wedge block of the cockspur and then into the spindle of the handle and allow the window to open again. If you want to be sure that your uPVC handles are secure you should replace the cockspur block with an entirely new one.

Cockspur

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

The handle locks with an thin spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a wedge of plastic which is attached to the frame. They are typically one-way handles, however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism is a possibility to add security.

As with Espag handles cockspur handle replacements are simple to put in place all you need is a new set of screws (supplied) and the correct backset. The backset is the distance from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the nose of the handle. Aluminium window frames are typically 9mm wide, while UPVC is 21mm wide. There are a variety of other options though so it is important to take a measurement before purchasing the handle (see video below for how).

This type of window handle can be replaced by unscrewing the current handle and taking off the spindle, or in certain cases, the entire handle. The replacement handle is then screwed in place using a pair pozidrivs screws. The pozidriv screws come in zinc or brass finishes to match the existing hardware and there is also the option of a self-locking version.

This is an easy to install replacement for the cockspur handle that is perfect for repairing or replacing old uPVC windows. They have an universal design that makes them suitable for a variety of profiles and backsets. Each handle is supplied with three packers of varying thickness. They are fitted to the underside of the handle nose and can be used in different ways to get backsets of 9, 13mm, 17mm and 21mm. The handles are available in left and right-handed models, as well as lockable and nonlockable models. They also come with a variety of nose heights.

Turn and Tilt

They combine the functionality of three window types into one - tilt, pivot, and in-swing. This makes them suitable for older homes as they are able to offer more ventilation than traditional window types.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they are locked like any other fixed window replacements. By turning the handle 90or 180 degrees depending on the tilt-and-turn type of window the sash opens inwards and the window tilts inwards to allow for air exchange. This is a great solution for ventilation without the need to open a large windows, which can be a safety risk if not properly secured when opening.

The sash is also able to be opened fully by turning the handle 90@ or 180@. This allows for full air exchange which is especially useful in draughty rooms or homes where smoke or other odors are likely to accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much simpler since it can be done inside the home - a task that often requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

Tilt and turn windows are very secure. They are extremely difficult to open when locked in the closed position. They also feature double seals that keep rainwater out of your home while it is in the tilted position, or in swing. This feature is especially useful for older homes, where burglars tend to target windows which are opened with side hinges.

You'll also need the spindle's size that is the distance between the base of the handle and the head of the handle.

Knowing whether or not your windows require a limiter is also important when choosing the appropriate handle. They are usually employed in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, however they are not a requirement for homes used by the homeowner. Additionally, you must take into consideration step height, which is the distance from the top of the screw plate to the top of the handle.

The word spade originates from Old English spadu, spaedu or Replacement Upvc Window Handles spada. It has been translated into numerous 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 mock black people. Since then spade has been an emblem of African American pride and heritage.
