Next you will need to identify the type of window and lock that your new handle - this is crucial!

Espag

Espag handles are a set of multipoint locks suitable for casement windows like uPVC or wooden double glazing. The handle is fitted with a 7mm square shaft that fits inside an internal gearbox that is mounted on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it activates a series locks around the window's perimeter. Espag handles, also referred as shootbolts, give more security than the single point lock that is found on older frames.

If you're planning to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you will have to determine the size of the spindle fitted and measure this from the base of the handle to ensure that you purchase the correct replacement. This measurement, referred to as the step height, will help you choose the ideal uPVC window handle for your home.

You may need to remove any screws that protect the screws that hold the handle in place, and if this is the case, use a screwdriver or pliers to remove the pins holding the handle. After you have removed the screws or pins that hold the spindle in place, you can disassemble the handle.

When you have the handle removed, you will then be able to access the locking mechanism inside the frame of the window. You can then remove the wedge block for cockspur which is fitted adjacent to the handle, allowing the window to open. The new uPVC handles you ordered will be able to slide onto the cockspur block, and then into the handle spindle to allow the window to be opened again. It is recommended to replace the cockspur wedge block a new one when changing your uPVC handle to ensure that it is properly secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles can be found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. The handle is closed and rotates into a wedge-shaped plastic catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches, which are also covered in this section.) These handles are available in lockable and nonlockable versions. They are available in various nose sizes that can be adapted to the frame.

The handle is secured by a small triangle-shaped spur (spur) that is attached to the frame. These are generally one way handles, however a locking deadlock cylinder can be added for extra security.

The replacement cockspur handles are easy to install. All you need is the correct backset and a brand new set (supplied). The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the nose of the handle. Aluminium window frames are usually 9mm wide, while UPVC is 21mm wide. There are a myriad of variations though so it is important to measure before purchasing the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

The spindle or, in some instances, the entire handle assembly can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The new handle can be secured with the help of pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screw is available in a brass or a zinc finish, to match the hardware you already have. There is also an option for a self-locking pozidriv screw.

These handles are available in both left and right-handed versions and in lockable and nonlockable versions. They also come in a variety of nose heights.

Tilt and turn

The premium European window style of tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for a long time, however it is only now starting to gain popularity in the American market. They combine the benefits of three different window styles into one: tilt, pivot, and in-swing. This makes them suitable for older homes since 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. But, by turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the type of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened upwards and the window can be tilted in to allow air exchange through the space at the top of the frame. This is a great solution to let air circulate without the need to open a large window which could pose a safety danger if not properly secured when opening.

The sash can be fully opened by turning the handle 90° or 180°@. This allows for full air circulation, which is particularly useful in rooms with a lot of draft or where smells or smoke can accumulate. This makes it easier to clean the outside of the glass by doing it from inside your home. This is a task that can be a risky task.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very secure. When they are locked in the closed position, they are very difficult to open from the outside, and they come with double seals that stop rainwater from entering the house when in the tilted in-swing position. This can be a particularly helpful feature for older homes, where burglars are more likely to target windows that are opened via the side hinges.
