Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Most replacement windows handles made of upvc come with everything you require. However, if your old handle was held in place by screws or pins, they will need to removed. Remove the'snap-in' covers at the base of your handle.

You will then need to determine the type of window lock and handle you want to replace. This is crucial!

Espag

Espag handles are a multipoint lock that is used to secure casement windows, such as upvc window handle replacement and double glazing made of wood. The handle has a 7mm square shaft that fits inside an uPVC gearbox. window. When the handle is turned, it will activate a series of locks around the window's perimeter. Espag handles are also referred to as shootbolt handles and offer more security than the standard single point lock used on older window frames.

They are available in a variety of different styles, such as inline and cranked handle designs that can be used in left or right hand operation. There is also a variety of sleek ergonomically designed handles that are designed to improve both the feel of the handle and how it appears on your windows.

If you're looking to replace your existing uPVC window handle with an espag handle, you will be required to determine the dimensions of the spindle that is fitted and measure this from the base of the handle to ensure that you purchase the correct replacement. This measurement is known as step height and will help you find the perfect uPVC handle for your home.

If you require to remove any screws that secure the handle, use a screwdriver or pliers. Once this is done then you must disassemble the handle by taking off the screws or pins that secure the spindle before taking it away from the window.

Once the handle is removed, you'll be capable of accessing the locking mechanism inside the frame of the window. You can then remove the wedge block cockspur that is placed next to the handle to allow the window to open. The replacement uPVC handles you ordered will be able to slide over the cockspur block and then into the handle spindle to allow the window to reopen. Ideally, you should replace the cockspur wedge block with a new one whenever you replace your uPVC handle to ensure it is properly secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. The handle is closed and then turns into a wedge-shaped plastic catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches which are also covered in this section.) They can be locked or non-lockable. They are available in various nose heights that can be adjusted to the frame.

The handle locks by the thin spur (little triangle bit) pulling 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.

Similar to Espag handles cockspur handle replacements are simple to put in place all you need is new screws (supplied) and the correct backset. The backset is measured from the baseplate to the nose on the underside of the handle. Aluminium window frames are generally 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are many different styles, so it's crucial to measure prior to purchasing the handle.

This type of window handle can be substituted by simply unscrewing the existing handle and removing the spindle, or in some cases, the entire handle. The new handle can be screwed in place using two pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screw can be purchased in a brass or a zinc finish to match existing hardware. There is also a choice for a self-locking pozidriv screw.

This is a simple to install replacement for the cockspur handle that is perfect for fixing or replacing old uPVC windows. They have an universal design that makes them suitable for most profiles and backsets. Each handle has three packers, each having a different thickness. They are installed on the underside of handles and can be stacked to create backsets as small as 9-13mm or as large 21mm. They are available in left and right handed models and are available with nonlockable or lockable models, with a variety of nose heights.

Tilt and turn

The most prestigious European window style with 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. The windows are a combination of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing and pivot. This makes them ideal for older homes as they are able to offer more airflow than standard window styles.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they lock like any other fixed window. By turning the handle 90or 180 degrees, based on the type of tilt-and turn window the sash opens to the outside and the window will tilt inwards to allow for air exchange. This is a great method to allow air circulation without opening a large, potentially dangerous window.

If the handle is turned a further 90@ or 180@ the sash will be fully opened, much like a door. This allows complete air exchange, which is particularly beneficial in rooms with a lot of draft or houses where odors from smoke or other sources are likely to accumulate. It also makes cleaning the outside of the glass much simpler since it can be done inside the home - a task that often requires ladders that are not safe.

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

Spade

There are several types of window handles that can be fitted to upvc double glazed windows. The two main kinds are Espag handles and Cockspur handles, then there's also tilt and turn handles, spade or blade handles, and monkey tail handles. The type of handle you choose will depend upon your preferences as well as the kind of windows you have.

To select the right replacement upvc window handle, you have to know how your existing handle is fixed to the frame. This is known as handing, and is a vital element to be aware of when purchasing online. Certain handle styles don't fit all windows. For instance, certain handles for cockspurs are angled, whilst others are straight and will either turn left or right. You'll also require the size of the spindle which is the distance between the base of the handle and the handle's head.

Another aspect to consider when choosing the right handle is determining whether your windows need a restrictor or not. They are generally used in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, however they are not required for domestic homes. Also, you should be aware of the step height which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of the handle.

The word spade originates from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into a variety of 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 mock black people. Since then spade has become an emblem of African American pride and heritage.

When replacing a Cadenza style handle, it is essential that you choose the right size. The handles are available in both straight and angled versions that differ by only a few millimetres. The handle head is available in a variety of shapes, including a T or D shape. It can also be left without handles.
