UPVC window handles are available in various styles, however all of them operate the same locking mechanism. To replace a uPVC handle first remove the top screw from the bottom of the window panel replacement handle which will reveal two screws.

Then, take a measurement of the spindle to ensure the new handle is suitable. It's crucial to determine what kind of a handle you have because there are a variety of sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Most double-glazed windows have Espagnolette handles that work with multi-point locks for improved security. They operate by virtue of a 7mm square spindle from the back of the handle which connects to a gearbox on the inside of the window frame that moves multi-locks as it is turned. They are available in a variety including cranked, inline key locking and cockspur handle, and they can also be supplied as sets to replace the handle that has been broken or worn out.

Cockspur Handles

Commonly found often on older uPVC and aluminium windows the cockspur handle is a simple catch and latch. The handle's nose slides into or into the catch, which is a wedge block made of plastic placed on the window frame. Since the wedges come in different sizes, it is important to know the step height you need to buy prior to buying a new handle. In general windows made of uPVC tend to have a step size of 21mm and aluminium frames usually come with a handle step of 9mm.

A cockspur handle can be locked using a key, providing added security for your home. The lock is installed into the handle by using an appropriate spindle that fits in the hole of the handle (also known as a backset). The spindle has a 7mm square cross section and can be used to open or shut the window.

If you are replacing a handle for a cockspur, it is worth ensuring that the replacement has the same height for steps as the original. It is usually measured from the bottom of the spur on the handle to the underside of the handle's nose. This measurement can be referred to as the stack height or the backset. It is essential to know this information 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 windows that open to the left or right, and to give the user easier access to the window.

Make sure your window has a restrictor. This is designed to prevent the handle from being opened beyond a certain amount. These are usually required for high-rise flats or commercial buildings for security reasons. Most domestic homes don't require these.

There are a number of different styles and colors of the cockspur handle. These include stainless steel brushed and white uPVC choices. The best choice for your windows will be based on your personal preferences and style, as well as the way you want the window to function.

Tilt and Turn Handles

Tilt and turn handles are a popular style of handle which are commonly seen on double-glazed windows in the UK. They are found on both upvc and timber windows. The handle can be turned at any angle, even 180 degrees. This lets the window open into the room completely and to lower it to allow for ventilation. The handle is locked in this position, which requires a key to unlock the handle when it is required to open it.

This type of handle is very easy to replace, as it has only one large handle instead of a number of smaller ones. This can reduce the overall appearance of the handle and is more in line with modern minimalistic design trends. In addition they are also much easier to clean than casement windows as the window opens inwards and can be cleaned on both sides.

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 from steel cores which adds strength and durability.

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

Many homes choose tilt and turn windows because they can be used in different ways. They can be opened horizontally, just like windows, lowered down in a hopper-style to allow for ventilation, or tilted inwards to clean and maintain. This is a great choice for those who wish to increase airflow and lessen the sound in their home. They are also easy to clean and maintain, because the glass is easily removable. These windows are available in various sizes and colors. They are ideal for any type of home and complement both contemporary and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles require only a little effort to open and allow for a spectacular view of the outdoors without blocking the glass. They are typically used in casement windows which are hinged on the sides or windows with awnings. They feature a mechanism that is similar to a window bar, and linkage arm, that supports the window sash. The window sash is opened or closed when you turn the handle clockwise. The mechanism for the crank window, unlike other handles, is usually subjected to a lot of wear and tear. This could result in the handle's gears to break or fall off the operator shaft. Inspecting both the crank handle and operator mechanism regularly will ensure that they stay in good shape for many years to be.

A crank handle consists of a mechanical arm that's attached to a rotating shaft that is perpendicular. The arm is turned in a circular manner by grabbing it and turning it, much like you operate a sharpener. In some cases the handle may be operated by the leg.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. It's this hollow that allows it to be connected to machinery and equipment. The handle's arm also includes a connecting rod which transforms the circular motion of the handle into rotary or reciprocating motion that operates machines and equipment.

Boats are typically loaded onto trailers using crank handles, as well as the adjusting equipment and machinery. They're commonly made from stainless steel that 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.
