The handle's nose is closed onto or into the catch which is a wedge block made of plastic placed on the window frame. Because the wedges are available in different sizes, it is essential to know the step height to purchase before purchasing the new handle. Typically, uPVC frames have a handle step of 9mm and aluminium frames tend to use a step height of 21mm.

The cockspur handle can be locked with a key, providing security to your home. The lock is fitted into the handle using spindles, which fit into the handle via the hole in the lock (also known as a backset). The spindle is 7mm square and can be used either to open or close the window.

It is crucial to make sure that the new cockspur handle has the same height of the original. It is usually measured from the bottom of the spur on the handle to the underside of the handle's nose. This measurement is sometimes called the stack height or backset. It is essential to be aware of this before placing an order for any handle.

Handles that tilt and turn

The UK is home to many double-glazed windows featuring tilt and turn handles. They are found on both timber and upvc windows. The handle is typically placed at 90 degrees, however it is also able to be turned in 180 degrees. This allows the window to be fully opened into the room and also drop down to allow for ventilation. The handle is locked in this position, which requires an unlocking key to open the handle when required to open it.

This type of handle is easy to replace, as it has only one large handle instead of a number of smaller ones. This improves the appearance of the handle and is more in line with contemporary minimalist design trends. Additionally they are also much easier to clean than casement windows, because the window opens up inwards and is cleanable on both sides.

They are also 4 to 8 times stronger than a conventional casement window. This makes them ideal for larger windows and doors. The frames also have a steel core that adds strength and durability.

The tilt-and-turn mechanism is more secure than a casement because the handle can be locked in any position. This is particularly important in areas where children could live, as it can keep children from opening the window.

Many homes opt to tilt and turn windows as they can be used in different ways. They can be opened horizontally, as a normal window or lowered to the hopper style. This is a great option for those who want to increase airflow and reduce noise in their home. The glass is easily removable making them easy to clean and maintain. These windows are available in a wide range of sizes and colours. They are perfect for any home and will complement both modern and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles are simple to use and provide a great view of the outside, without obscuring the glass. They are typically used in casement windows, which hinge on the side or awning windows. They have the same mechanism as a window bar and linkage arm that supports the window sash which can be opened or closed by turning the handle in the clockwise direction. The mechanism of the crank window, unlike other handles, is usually subjected to a lot of wear and tear. This could cause the gears and handle to break or fall off the shaft that controls the operator. Inspecting both the crank handle and operator mechanism regularly will ensure that they stay in good shape for many years to come.

A crank handle consists of a mechanical arm that's attached to a rotating shaft that is perpendicular. The handle is operated manually by grabbing it and turning it in a circular direction, much like you would use a pencil sharpener. In certain situations the handle could be operated by the leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. It's this hole that allows it to be connected to equipment and machinery. The handle's arm features a connecting bar that converts the circular motion from the handle into rotary and reciprocating motions to control machines and equipment.

Boats are typically loaded onto trailers with crank handles, as well as adjusting equipment and machinery. They are typically made of stainless steel that is resistant against corrosion in marine environments. Due to this, the majority of boat crank handles are coated with powder to protect them from damage and to make them easier to clean.

Replace the crank handle in the event that it ceases to function or does not allow you to open the window. Look for the trim mounting screws within the track of the window frame. If there are none to be found, you can use a strong putty blade to release the cover by sliding it between the window jambs and the frame. If it doesn't work, you can remove the cover and get access to the crank mechanism by removing the screws on the window frame.
