Replacement Handles For UPVC Windows

UPVC window handles are available in different styles, but they all have the same locking mechanism. To replace a uPVC window handle, you must remove the top screw from the base of the handle. This will reveal two screws.

Then, measure the spindle to ensure the new handle is suitable. It is important to determine what kind of handle you have as there are many different sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Espagnolette handles are present on the majority of modern double-glazed windows. They are equipped with multi-point locks that offer improved security. They function by using a 7mm square spindle at the back of the handle which connects to a gearbox located inside the window frame that moves multi-locks when turned. They come in a variety of designs including cranked, inline key locking and cockspur handles and they are also available as sets to replace one handle that is broken or worn out.

Our uPVC replacement handle kits are designed to make it easy to replace a damaged or defective window handle with a espagnolette. These uPVC handles come with all the fixing screws and a range of spindle sizes suitable for most applications. They are also available with key plugs that enable them to be changed from the standard open/close handle to fire escape and egress non-locking handles (if utilized in conjunction with the appropriate key plug).

If you are just looking for an espagnolette handle that can simply replace your existing window handles without changing the position of the mushroom plates, we recommend our Simplefit Inline Espag Handle with 3 Spindles. These handles are designed specifically for this purpose and they come ready to fit with a range of spindle lengths already inserted so you don't need to worry about cutting them down on site. The handles are also a good choice for new build or refurbishment projects due to their excellent value and easy installation.

Yale Sparta Inline Espag Handle is another option. It was designed to limit aesthetic interference and has a shorter height at the base. It is part of the appropriate range of hardware and is available in a range of finishes, all of which meet the requirements of BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 corrosion resistance. They have been tested for their endurance and are suitable for use in coastal environments and with acidic timbers. They can be used with cylinder-immobiliser inserts for key-locking when needed.

Cockspur Handles

Cockspur handles, which are commonly found on older uPVC or aluminium windows and doors, are a simple latch-and-catch arrangement. The handle nose closes onto or into the catch, which is a wedge block made of plastic placed on the window frame. Because the wedges are available in various sizes, it is crucial to know the step height you need to buy prior to purchasing a new handle. Generally, uPVC frames have a handle step of 9mm, while aluminium frames tend to use 21mm as the step size.

A cockspur handle is locked with the key, which provides additional security for your home. The lock is inserted into the handle by spindles, which fit into the handle through the hole in the lock (also called a backset). The spindle measures 7mm square and can be used either to open or close the window.

It is crucial to ensure that the new cockspur handle is the same height of the original. This is usually measured from the base spur of the handle and ends at the underside of handle nose. This measurement is often referred to as the backset or stack height and it is crucial to know this information before ordering the handle.

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

Make sure your window has a restrictor. This is designed to prevent the handle from opening beyond a certain level. These are usually required for high-rise flats or commercial buildings for safety reasons. The majority of homes do not require them.

There are many different styles and colors of the cockspur handle, such as stainless steel brushed and white uPVC. Selecting the right one for your windows will depend on your personal preferences and style, and how you want your window to perform.

Tilt and Turn Handles

Tilt and turn handles are a popular style of handle which are commonly seen on double-glazed windows throughout the UK. Both timber and upvc ones feature these handles. The handle is typically placed at 90 degrees, but it can also be turned at 180 degrees. This lets the window be fully opened into the room and can also drop down to let in air. The handle is locked in this position, and requires an unlocking key to open the handle when it is required to open it.

This kind of handle is easily changed, since it only has one large handle, not a number of smaller ones. This improves the appearance of the handle, and is more in line with modern minimalistic design trends. They are also much easier to clean since they are able to open inwards.

Another benefit of tilt and turn windows is that they are 4 - 8 times stronger than casement windows. This makes them ideal for doors and windows that are larger. The frames are also made of steel, that adds strength and durability.

The tilt and turn mechanism is safer than a casement window, as the handle can be locked at any angle. This is particularly important in areas that have children because it stops them from accidentally opening windows.

Tilt and turn windows are a common option for a lot of homes, as they can be utilized in many ways. They can be opened horizontally, as a normal window or lowered to the hopper style. This is an excellent option for those looking to improve airflow and decrease noise in their home. The glass is easily removable making them easy to clean and maintain. You can find these windows in a wide range of sizes and colors. They are perfect for any house and can be paired with both traditional and contemporary styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles are easy to use and provide an excellent view of the outside, without obscuring the glass window replacements. They are typically used on casement windows that are hinged on the sides or awning windows. They feature a mechanism that is similar to a window bar and linkage arm, which supports the window sash. The window sash can be opened or closed when you crank the handle clockwise. The crank window's mechanism, unlike other handles, is often subjected much wear and tear. This can result in the handle's gears to break or fall off the shaft that controls the operator. Regularly inspecting the crank handle as well as the mechanism for operating it will ensure that they are in good shape for many years.

A crank handle consists of an arm made of metal that is attached to a rotating shaft that is perpendicular. The arm is operated by gripping it and turning it in a circular motion, much like you would use the sharpener of a pencil. In certain instances the handle could be operated via a leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. This allows the handle to be connected to equipment and machinery. The handle's arm is equipped with a connecting bar that transforms the circular motion of the handle into reciprocating and rotary motions to operate machines and equipment.

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

Replace your crank handle if it stops working or will not open the window. Look for the trim mounting screws within the window frame's track. If there's none, you can use a stiff putty blade to open the cover by sliding it between the window jambs and the frame. If that doesn't work, you can remove it and get access to the crank by removing screws in the window frame.
