Replacement Handles For UPVC Windows

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

Then, take a measurement of the length of the spindle to make sure the new handle is a suitable replacement. It is important to know the type of handle you currently have since there are various sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Espagnolette handles are present on the majority of modern double-glazed windows and feature multi-point locks that offer improved security. They work by using a 7mm square spindle from the back of the handle that connects to a gearbox located inside the window frame that moves multi-locks when turned. They are available in a range of designs, including cockspur keys, inline and locking handles.

Cockspur Handles

Often seen often on older uPVC and aluminium windows, cockspur handles are a simple catch and latch arrangement. The handle's nose slides into or into the catch which is a plastic wedge block mounted 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 the new handle. Typically, uPVC frames have a handle step of 9mm and aluminum frames usually have a step size of 21mm.

The cockspur handle is lockable with a key, providing security to your home. The lock is fitted to the handle with spindles that fit into the handle via the hole in the lock (also known as a backset). The spindle has a 7mm square cross-section and can be used to either open or close the window.

If you are replacing a cockspur handle it is worth ensuring that it has the same step height as the original. Usually, this is measured from the bottom of the spur on the handle to the underside of the nose of the handle. This measurement can be referred to as the stack height or backset. It is important to know this information before placing an order for any handle.

Cockspur handles are available as straight/universal, cranked or leftor right-handed versions. This allows the handles to be installed on left or right opening windows and to allow the user easier access to the window.

Handles that tilt and turn

This allows the window be opened into the room fully and also to lower to allow for ventilation. The handle is locked in this position, requiring a key to unlock the handle when it is needed to open it.

This type of handle is 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 keeping with modern minimalistic design trends. Additionally they are also much easier to clean than casement windows as the window opens inwards and is cleanable on both sides.

They are also up to 8 times stronger than a casement window. This makes them perfect for larger windows as well as doors. The frames are made from steel cores which adds durability and strength.

The tilt-and-turn mechanism is also more secure than a casement since the handle can be locked in any position. This is particularly crucial in areas where children might reside, as it will prevent them from accidentally opening the window.

Tilt and turn windows are a favorite choice for many homes due to their ability to be utilized in a variety of ways. They can be opened horizontally, like a regular window, fitted or dropped down to a hopper style.

These windows are available in various sizes and colors. They are ideal for any type of home and complement both modern and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles require minimal effort to open, and allow for a spectacular view of the outdoors without obstructing the glass. These handles are usually used on casement windows that are hinged on the sides or awning windows. They have a mechanism that is similar to a window bar, and linkage arm, that is used to support the window sash. The window sash opens or closes when you turn the handle clockwise. In contrast to other types of handles that are geared towards windows, a crank window's mechanism and handle are subject to wear and tear that can cause the gears to strip and the handle to cease working or fall off the shaft of the operator. Regularly inspecting the crank handle as well as the operator mechanism 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 handle is rotated in a circular direction by grabbing it and turning it, much like you would operate a sharpener. In certain instances the handle can be leg-operated.

The base of a crank handle is hollow. It's this hollow that allows it to connect to equipment and machinery. The handle's arm has a connecting bar that converts the circular motion from the handle into reciprocating and rotary motions to operate machines and equipment.

Boats are typically loaded onto trailers with crank handles, as well as adjusting equipment and machinery. They're typically made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion in marine environments. Most boat crank handles have been coated in powder to guard against damage and make them easier for cleaning.

Replace your crank handle in the event that it ceases to function or does not allow you to open the window. Before doing so check for the trim mounting screws within the frame's screen track. If there's none to be found, you can use a strong putty blade to open the cover by sliding it between window jambs and the frame. If this doesn't work, then you can take off the cover and open the crank mechanism by removing the screws on the window frame.
