Replacement Handles For UPVC Windows

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

Then, measure the spindle to ensure your new handle will fit. It's important to determine what kind of handle you've got 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 which provide greater security. The handle is controlled by a 7mm square spindle that connects to a gearbox inside the window frame. The gearbox rotates the multi-locks as the handle is turned. They are available in a range of styles, including cockspur keys, inline and locking handles.

Cockspur Handles

Commonly found typically on older uPVC and aluminium windows, the cockspur handles are a basic catch and latch arrangement. The handle nose is attached to or inserted into the catch which is a wedge of plastic that is positioned on the window frame. The wedges are available in different sizes, and it is crucial to determine the step height you require prior to purchasing the replacement handle. Generally, uPVC frames have a handle step of 9mm. aluminium frames tend to use a step height of 21mm.

The cockspur handle is lockable with a key, providing security to your home. The lock is put to the handle with spindles, which fit into the handle through the hole for locking (also called a backset). The spindle measures 7mm square and can be used either to open or close the window.

If you are replacing a cockspur handle it is important to ensure that the replacement has the same step height as the original. Usually, this measurement is taken from the bottom of the spur on the handle to the underside of the handle's nose. This measurement is often referred to as the stack height or the backset. It is essential to be aware of this before placing an order for any handle.

Cockspur handles can be straight/universal or cranked, and are available in left hand or right handed versions. This allows the handles to be fitted onto left or right opening windows and to allow the user easier access to the window.

Find out if your window requires a restrictor. This is designed to prevent the handle from opening past a certain point. These are usually required for high-rise apartments or commercial buildings for safety reasons. However, the majority of homes don't require these.

There are a variety of different styles and colours of the cockspur handle. These include stainless steel with brushed finishes and white uPVC. Selecting the right one for your windows will be based on your personal taste and style, as well as how you want your window to perform.

Handles that can tilt and turn

Tilt and turn handles are a popular kind of handle that are typically found on double glazed windows in the UK. They can be found on both upvc and timber windows. The handle can be rotated at any angle, even 180 degrees. This allows the window to be fully opened into the room and can also be lowered to allow for ventilation. The handle is locked in this position and requires a key to unlock it when needed.

This kind of handle is extremely easy to replace, with only one large handle instead of several smaller ones. This improves the overall appearance of the handle and is more in keeping with the latest minimalist design trends. They are also much easier to clean as they are able to open inwards.

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

The tilt-and turn mechanism is more secure than a casement, because the handle can be locked in any position. This is particularly important in areas with children because it stops them from accidentally opening the window.

Many homes opt for tilt and turn windows as they can be used in different ways. They can be opened horizontally, just like windows, lowered down in a hopper-style to provide ventilation, or tilted backwards to clean and maintain. This is a great choice for those looking to improve airflow and decrease noise in their home. The glass window replacement is easily removable, making them easy to clean and maintain. They 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 simple to operate and offer a great view of the outside, without obscuring the glass. They're commonly used in casement windows, which are hinged on the sides or awning windows. They are equipped with the same mechanism as a window bar and linkage arm that supports the window sash which can be opened or closed by cranking the handle in a clockwise direction. In contrast to other types of handles the mechanism of a crank window and handle are subject to a significant amount of wear and tear that could cause the gears to strip and the handle to cease working or fall off the operator shaft. By inspecting the crank handle and the mechanism of the operator regularly will ensure that they stay in good working order for the years to come.

A crank handle consists of an arm made of metal that is attached to a perpendicular rotating shaft. The handle is rotated in a circular motion by grasping it and rotating it in the same way that you operate a sharpener. In some applications the handle can be operated via a leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. This hole allows the handle to be connected to machinery and equipment. The handle's arm features an attaching bar that transforms the circular motion of the handle into reciprocating and rotary motions that allow you to operate machines and equipment.

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. This is why the majority of boat crank handles are coated with powder to protect them from damage and to make them easier to clean.

If your crank handle isn't functioning or isn't opening the window, it might be time to replace it. Find the trim mounting screws within the window frame's track. If there aren't any then you can use a strong putty blade to release the cover by sliding it between window jambs and the frame. If it doesn't work, you can remove the cover and open the crank mechanism by uncreasing the screws on the window frame.
