Upvc Window Handles Replacement

It's fairly simple to replace your window handle. You'll require just a few tools and few steps. The key to a successful replacement is identifying the handle type and measuring the length of the spindle.

There are two main kinds of upvc handles: Espag and Cockspur handles. Espag handles are equipped with seven millimeter square spindles that engages the locking mechanism on the frame.

Espag handles

Espag handles are one of the most sought-after types of window handles that are available for upvc windows and some timber frames too. They are designed to work with locking systems that use espagnolette. They come with a 7mm square spindle which extends from the back of the handle and then is inserted in the gearbox of a multipoint lock system inside the window. They come in a variety sizes for spindles. This is because each type of window handle is attached to a multipoint locking mechanism with an asymmetrical layout.

The standard specifications for an espag window handle include a push button to secure the window in the closed position. They also have keys-locking features and, if needed, a fire escape non-locking feature. Some of them even comply with Secure by Design standards, which can provide you with extra security. They are usually fixed to the sash by two screws 43mm apart.

There are a variety of variations of the espag handle. The most notable is the in-line or cranked design. Those that are in-line will rotate both left and right and vice versa, whereas those that are cranked are only operable in the direction of the loose window handle's motion (i.e. They can be put in place either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The handles can be affixed to the window in any direction, but they must point in the same direction as the old cockspur handles.

When choosing a replacement window handle, it is crucial to be thorough and determine the spindle's measurement. The spindle is a metal bar that extends out from the back of the handle. It could be any length from 10mm to 55mm. The length is the one that is visible when the handle is in its original undamaged condition. This is the length you will have to match when you purchase the replacement handle, since the spindle is the one that drives the lock in the window.

Some manufacturers now offer magnetic espag handles, which eliminate the requirement to cut the spindle into a size. This may make it easier to fit the process because it is quicker and easier to remove the replacement and replace it with another. However, you should take the time to measure the spindle to make sure that the handle perform smoothly.

Cockspur handles

Cockspur handles are found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. They don't have an locking mechanism, however they are considered safe since the handle nose closes into a wedge-shaped block that is attached to the window frame. (This kind of handle is not to be confused with timber frames that have a catch). Cockspur handles are popular and come in different styles to suit all types of doors.

They are a budget-friendly and simple choice. They can also be key-locked to meet insurance requirements. You can also select the handle height to suit your frame. A lockable version, which provides an extra level of security and has been endorsed by Secured by Design, is also available.

These handle types are attached to the sash of the tilt-and-turn or casement windows by a spindle which runs through the baseplate. The handle is operated with an either side lever and the spindle of the handle is engaged by a wedge for striking that is attached to the frame of the window. Cockspur handle kits are typically offered with left and right hand versions and there is a wide selection of nose heights to suit the majority of frames.

The right size wedge block is the key to an efficient installation. It is a small piece of plastic that is in the form of a ramp. You can replace with a one slightly larger to ensure the handle will be able to close the gap to seal against drafts. There is a certain standardization of fixing locations for these handles. They typically come in 38mm and 58mm centres so you will be able to locate the correct replacement with no trouble.

Another thing to consider when choosing the new set of cockspur handles is the spindle length. This is the length of the baseplate of the handle up to the point where the shaft of the handle is extended through the sash into the frame. It is important that this is accurate to ensure the handles operate smoothly.

Tilt and Turn Handles

These handles are specifically designed for tilt-and-turn windows. They come in nonlocking, locking, or tilt safe options. They are heavy-duty operating handles with a solid grip and detents in 90 degree angles. They are available in a choice of finishes that include black, white, gold, chrome and brushed satin. It is compatible with Timber or PVCu tilt-and-turn windows.

These handles can be used to replace the cockspurs made of upvc on older windows that don't have locking. These handles aren't exactly the same as espag upvc handles, because they are not locked and work differently.

They come with a "turn before tilt" mechanism that allows the window to open to the side and then lowered into a ventilation or hopper style position to let fresh air in. This kind of handle is also known as a DK or dry-keep window handle. It's typically found on older double glazed windows in residential or commercial properties.

You can use a screwdriver take these screws out and then remove the handle. It is best to unbolt the handle first in order to make it easier to reach both screw holes.

The handles can then be removed by removing them using a flathead screwdriver. Once the handles have been repositioned on your windows, you can put them back in place by replacing the screw cap.
