If you're planning to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you'll have to determine the size of the spindle that is installed and measure it from the base of the handle to ensure that you order the correct replacement windows glass. This measurement is referred to as step height and will help you find the perfect uPVC handle for your home.

If you need to remove screws that hold the handle, use the screwdriver or pliers. After this is done, you will need to disassemble the handle by removing the screw or pins that hold the spindle and then taking it away from the window.

This will allow the window to be opened. The replacement uPVC handles you have ordered will be able to slide over the cockspur block and then into the handle spindle, allowing the window to reopen. Ideally, you should replace the cockspur wedge block an entirely new one when you change your uPVC handle to ensure it is properly secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are generally found on older uPVC and aluminium windows. The handle closes and turns 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 a variety of different nose sizes to match the frame.

The handle locks by an slender spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a plastic wedge that is fixed to the frame. They are usually one-way handles, however a deadlock lock cylinder that locks can be added for extra security.

Similar to Espag handles, replacement handles for cockspur handles are simple to put in place, all you need is a new set of screws (supplied) and the proper backset. The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. As a general rule Aluminium window frames usually use a 9mm backset while UPVC utilizes a 21mm. There are a myriad of variations though so it is important to take a measurement before purchasing the handle (see video below for how).

The spindle, or in certain cases the entire handle can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The new handle will then be screwed in place using two pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screw comes in a brass or zinc finish, to match existing hardware. There is also an option of self-locking pozidriv screws.

Each handle comes with 3 packers that vary in thickness. They are attached to the underside of the handle's nose and can be combined in various ways to achieve backsets of 9-13mm 17mm, 21mm, and 13mm. They are available in right and left handed versions and come in lockable or nonlockable models with a variety of nose heights.

Turn and tilt

Tilt and turn windows are a coveted European window style that has been around for decades in Europe but is beginning to gain traction stateside. They combine the functionality of three window styles into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. This makes them ideal for older homes as they can be used to offer more ventilation than standard window types.

When in the closed position tilt and turn windows close like a normal fixed window. By turning the handle 90or 180 degrees depending on the type of tilt-and-turn window the sash will slide inwards and the window tilts inwards to allow for air to circulate. This is a great solution for ventilation without the need to open a large window, which can be a safety risk if it is not secured properly when opening.

If the handle is turned a further 90@ or 180@, the sash can be fully opened, much like doors. This allows for complete air exchange, which is particularly useful in rooms with a lot of draft or where smoke or other smells are likely to accumulate. This allows you to easily 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 secure. They are very difficult to open when locked in the closed position. They also feature double glazed window replacement seals that prevent rainwater from entering your home when it is in the tilted position or swing. This is a helpful feature for older homes where burglars are more likely to target traditional windows that can be opened via the side hinges.

There's also tilt and turn handles, spade or blade handles, and monkey tail handle. The type of handle that you select will depend on your preferences as well as the kind of windows you have.

In order to choose the correct Replacement Window Pane for your window handle, you need to know how your existing handle is attached to the frame. This is known as handing and is a crucial element to consider, particularly when purchasing online since some handle variations don't fit all windows. For instance, some handles are angled while others are straight and will either turn left or right. You will also need the spindle size, which is the distance between the base of handle and the head of the handle.

Identifying if your windows need a restrictor is also important when choosing the correct handle. They are typically used in high-rise apartments or commercial buildings, but they aren't a requirement for most domestic homes. You should also consider the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of handle.

The word spade comes from Old English spadu or spaedu and has been translated into various languages including German spaten and Low German Spathen. In the 1920s, during the Harlem Renaissance in New York City, spade began to be used as a sexist term for black people. Since the time spade has become a symbol of African American pride and heritage.

When replacing the handle of a Cadenza handle, it is essential that you get the right size. Handles are available in straight and angled styles that differ by a few millimeters. The handle head may change between a D and a T-shaped shape, or even have no handles at all.
