UPVC window handles come in various styles but they all have the same locking mechanism. To replace a uPVC window handle, take off the top screw at the base of the handle. This will reveal two screws.

Then, take a measurement of the spindle to ensure your new handle will fit. It is important to know the kind of handle you have as there are several sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Espagnolette handles are present on the majority of modern double glazing replacement windows-glazed windows and replacement windows operate multi-point locks which provide greater security. The handle is operated by a 7mm square spindle that connects to a gearbox inside the frame of the window. The gearbox is able to move the multi-locks as the handle turns. They are available in a variety of styles including cranked, inline, key locking and cockspur handles and they are also available as an entire set to replace one handle that is broken or worn out.

Our uPVC replacement handle kits are designed to make it simple to replace a damaged or broken window handle made of espagnolette.

They are also available with key plugs to enable them to be converted from standard open/close to the egress and fire escape locking handles (if when used with the correct key plug).

Cockspur Handles

Often seen on older uPVC and aluminium windows the cockspur handle is a simple catch and latch arrangement. The handle's nose is affixed to or placed into the catch, which is a wedge block of plastic mounted on the window frame. Since the wedges come in different sizes, it is essential to know the step height you need to buy prior to purchasing a new handle. Typically, uPVC frames come with a handle step of 9mm and aluminum frames usually have 21mm as the step size.

A cockspur handle is secured with a key, which provides additional security for your home. The lock is put into the handle using spindles, which fit into the handle via the hole in the lock (also known as a backset). The spindle measures 7mm square and can be used to open or close the window.

If you are replacing a cockspur handle it is important to ensure that the replacement has the same height for steps as the original. It is usually measured from the bottom of the spur on the handle to the underside of the nose of the handle. This measurement is often referred to as the stack height or backset. It is essential to be aware of this before ordering any handle.

Cockspur handles can be straight or universal or cranked, and are available in left or right handed versions. This allows the handles be placed on the either the right or left opening window and gives the operator easier access.

Find out if your window requires a restrictor. This is designed to stop the handle from being opened beyond a certain level. They are typically required for high-rise flats or commercial buildings for security reasons. However, the majority of homes don't require them.

There are a variety of styles and shades of cockspur handles including white uPVC and brushed stainless steel. The best cockspur handle to use for your windows is determined by your taste and style and how you want the window to function.

Tilt and Turn Handles

Tilt and turn handles are a very popular style of handle which are commonly seen on double-glazed windows in the UK. Both upvc windows and timber ones feature these handles. The handle can be rotated at any angle, up to 180 degrees. This lets the window open into the room fully and also to lower it to allow for ventilation. The handle is locked in this position, and requires a key to unlock the handle when it is needed to open it.

This kind of handle is extremely simple to replace, having only one large handle instead of several smaller ones. This can reduce the overall appearance of the handle and is more in line with modern minimalistic design trends. In addition they are much simpler to clean than casement windows, because the window opens up inwards and is cleanable on both sides.

They are also up to 8 times stronger than casement window. This makes them perfect for larger windows as well as doors. The frames are made from steel core, which provides additional durability and strength.

The tilt and turn mechanism is safer than a casement window, as the handle can be locked at any angle. This is especially crucial in areas where children might reside, as it will stop children from opening the window.

Tilt and turn windows are a popular choice for many homes, as they can be used in a variety of ways. They can be opened horizontally, just like windows, lowered down in a hopper-style for ventilation or tilted inwards for cleaning and maintenance. This is a great choice for those who want to improve airflow inside their home. They can also aid in noise reduction. The glass is easily removable and easy to clean and maintain. These windows are available in a variety of sizes and colors. These windows can be used in any home, and complement both modern and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles are easy to operate and offer a great view of the outside without blocking the glass. They're commonly employed in casement windows, that hinge on the sides, or awning windows. They feature a mechanism similar to the window bar and linkage arm that is used to support the window sash which can be opened or closed by cranking the handle in a clockwise direction. In contrast to other types of handles that are geared towards windows, a crank window's mechanism and handle are subject to wear and tear that can cause the gears strip and the handle to stop functioning or fall off the shaft of the operator. Regularly checking the handle of the crank as well as the mechanism for operating it will ensure that they stay in good condition for many years.

A crank handle is a mechanical arm that's attached to a rotating shaft that is perpendicular. The handle is rotated in a circular manner by grabbing it and turning it, much like you would operate a sharpener. In certain instances the handle can be operated by a leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. This hole permits the handle to be connected to machinery and equipment. The handle's arm also includes a connecting rod which transforms the circular motion of the handle into a rotary or reciprocating motion that operates equipment and machines.

In addition to adjusting equipment and machinery The crank handles are also commonly used on boats to help them to load trailers. They are typically made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion in marine environments. Most boat crank handles are powder coated to protect against damage and make them easier for cleaning.

Replace your crank handle if it ceases to function or does not open the window. Before you do that, look for trim mounting screws inside the window frame's screen track. If there's none to be found, you can use a rigid putty blade to loosen the cover by sliding it between window jambs and the frame. If this doesn't work, then you can remove the cover and access the crank mechanism by uncreasing the screws in the window frame.
