Replacement Handles For UPVC Windows

UPVC window handles are available in various styles, however they all use the same locking mechanism. To replace a uPVC window handle, remove the top screw at the base of the handle. This will reveal two additional screws.

Then, take a measurement of the length of the spindle to ensure the new handle is a suitable replacement. It is essential to determine the kind of handle you have, as there are several sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

The majority of double-glazed windows feature Espagnolette handles which operate multi-point locks for improved security. They operate by virtue of the 7mm square spindle on the back of the handle that connects to a gearbox located on the inside of the window frame, which turns multi-lock mushrooms when turned. They are available in a variety of designs including cranked, inline key locking and cockspur handles. they are also available as sets to replace a single handle that is broken or worn out.

These uPVC handles come with all the necessary fixing screws and a range of spindle sizes that will work for all applications. They also come with key-plugs that permit them to be changed from standard open/closed handles to fire escape or egress non locking handles (if used with the correct key plug).

Cockspur Handles

Often seen on older uPVC and aluminium windows the cockspur handle is a simple latch and catch arrangement. The handle nose is attached to or put into the catch, which is a wedge block of plastic that is positioned on the window frame. As the wedges are available in various sizes, it is crucial to know the step height you need to buy prior to purchasing the new handle. Typically, uPVC frames come with a handle step of 9mm and aluminium frames tend to use 21mm as the step size.

A cockspur handle can be locked with the key, ensuring additional security for your home. The lock is fitted into the handle with an appropriate spindle that fits in the hole of the handle (also called a backset). The spindle has a 7mm square cross-section and can be used to either open or shut the window.

If you are replacing a handle for a cockspur, it is important to ensure that the replacement has the same height for steps as the original. This is typically measured from the base spur of the handle and ends at the underside of the handle's nose. This measurement can be referred to as the stack height or the backset. It is important to be aware of this before placing an order for any handle.

Cockspur handles are available in straight/universal, cranked, left- or right-handed versions. This allows the handles to be installed on right or left opening windows and allows the operator to have an easier access.

It is essential to determine whether or not your window is required to have a restrictor designed to stop the handle being extended beyond a certain amount. Generally, they are required for high rise flats or commercial properties for safety reasons. Most domestic homes don't require these.

There are many different styles and colours of the cockspur handle, such as brushed stainless steel and white uPVC choices. The best cockspur handle for your windows will depend on your style and preference and how you want your window to function.

Handles that turn and tilt

Tilt and turn handles are a popular type of handle, which is typically seen on double-glazed windows in the UK. Both timber and upvc ones feature them. The handle is generally positioned at 90 degrees, but it can also be rotated at 180 degrees. This allows the window to be opened fully into the room, and it can be lowered to allow to let in air. The handle is locked in this position, and requires a key to unlock the handle when needed to open it.

This type of handle is extremely simple to replace, having just one handle instead of multiple smaller ones. This reduces the overall look of the handle and is more in keeping with modern minimalistic design trends. They are also easier to clean since they open to the inside.

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

The tilt and turn mechanism is also safer than the casement window, because the handle can be locked at any angle. This is particularly crucial in areas where children are present as it keeps them from accidentally opening windows.

Tilt and turn windows are a common choice for many homes, as they can be used in a variety of ways. They can be opened horizontally like windows, lowered down in a hopper-style to provide ventilation, or tilted backwards for cleaning and maintenance. This is an excellent option for those who wish to increase the airflow in their home and can also help with noise reduction. They are also easy to clean and maintain, because the glass windows replacement is easily removable. You can find these windows in a wide range of sizes and colors. These windows are ideal for any house, and can complement both modern and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles require little effort to open and provide a stunning view of the outdoors without obstructing the glass. They are typically used on casement windows that are hinged at the side or awning windows. They feature an mechanism similar to a window bar, and a linkage arm that supports the window sash. The window sash can be opened or closed when you turn the handle clockwise. The mechanism of the crank window unlike other handles is often subjected an extensive amount of wear and tear. This can cause the handle and gears to break or fall off the operator shaft. Inspecting both the crank handle and operator mechanism regularly will ensure that they remain in good condition for many years to be.

A crank handle is composed of a shaft made of metal that rotates perpendicularly, and is attached to an arm. The arm is turned in a circular direction by grasping it and rotating it, similar to how you would operate a sharpener. In certain situations, the handle can be operated by the leg.

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

In addition to adjusting equipment and machinery, crank handles are commonly used on boats to help them load onto trailers. They are usually made of stainless steel which is resistant to corrosion in marine environments. This is why the majority of boat crank handles are powder coated to protect them from damage and to make them easier to clean.

Replace the crank handle if it stops working or will not allow you to open the window. Before you do that check for the trim mounting screws within the window frame's screen track. If there aren't any, try to loosen the casement cover using a rigid putty knife by sliding it between the window jamb and the frame and pulling it. If that doesn't help, you can remove it and open the crank by unbolting screws inside the window frame.
