Replacement Handles For UPVC Windows

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

Next, you need to measure the spindle length to ensure that the new handle is a suitable replacement windows glass. It's important to know the type of handle you've got as there are many different sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Espagnolette handles are found on the majority of modern double glazed windows and operate multi-point locks that provide better security. They operate by virtue of a 7mm square spindle at the back of the handle, which connects to a gearbox inside the window frame, which turns multi-lock mushrooms when turned. They are available in a range of styles, including cockspur keys, inline and locking handles.

Our uPVC replacement glass in windows handle kits are designed to make it easy to replace a damaged or faulty window handle with a espagnolette. These uPVC handle sets come packed with a variety of spindle lengths that will fit most applications and have all of the fixing screws required for installation included. They are also available with key plugs to enable them to be converted from standard open/close to the egress and fire escape locking handles (if when used with the correct key plug).

Cockspur Handles

Commonly found often on older uPVC and aluminium windows, the cockspur handles are a basic latch and catch arrangement. The handle's nose is connected to or inserted into the catch which is a wedge block made of plastic mounted on the frame of the window. Since the wedges come in various sizes, it is essential to know the step height you need to buy prior to buying a new handle. As a general rule, uPVC windows tend to use a 21mm step size and aluminium frames usually have a 9mm handle step.

A cockspur handle can be secured with a key, ensuring additional security for your home. The lock is fitted into the handle by using a spindle that fits into the hole of the handle (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 important to make sure that the replacement has the same height for steps as the original. Usually, this measurement is taken from the base of the spur on the handle to the underside of the nose of the handle. This measurement is sometimes called the stack height or backset. It is important to be aware of this before placing an order for any handle.

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

It is important to check whether or not your window is required to have a restrictor, which is designed to prevent the handle from being extended beyond a certain amount. Generally speaking, they are required for high-rise commercial or flats for safety reasons. The majority of homes do not require them.

There are many different styles and colors of cockspur handles including white uPVC and brushed steel. The best choice for your windows will depend on your personal tastes and style, as well as the way you want your window to function.

Tilt and Turn Handles

Tilt and turn handles are a very popular style of handle which is typically seen on double-glazed windows throughout the UK. Both timber and upvc ones come with them. The handle can be rotated at any angle, up to 180 degrees. This allows the window be opened to the room fully, and also to lower it to let air circulate. The handle is locked in this position and requires the use of a key to unlock it whenever needed.

This type of handle is easy to replace, as it has just one handle instead of several smaller ones. This reduces the overall look of the handle and is more in line with modern minimalistic design trends. In addition they are much simpler to clean than casement windows as the window opens to the inside and can be cleaned 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 also made of steel, 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 important in areas where children could reside, as it will stop them from accidentally opening the window.

Tilt and turn windows are a favorite choice for many houses, since they can be used in a variety of ways. They can be opened horizontally, just like windows, lowered down in a hopper fashion for ventilation or tilted inwards for cleaning and maintenance. This is a great choice for those who wish to improve airflow and decrease the noise that surrounds their home. They are also easy to clean and maintain, since the glass replacement window is removed. They are available in a wide range of sizes and colors. They are perfect for any house and can be paired with both contemporary and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles are simple to use and offer an excellent view of the outside without obscuring the glass. They are commonly employed in casement windows seal replacement, which are hinged on the side, or awning windows. They are equipped with an mechanism that is similar to the 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 that are geared towards windows, a crank window's mechanism and handle are often subjected to significant wear and tear that can cause the gears strip and the handle to cease working or fall off the shaft of the operator. Inspecting both the crank handle and the operator mechanism regularly will ensure that they remain in good shape for many years to be.

A crank handle consists of an electronic arm that is connected to a perpendicular rotating shaft. The handle is operated manually by grabbing it and turning it in a circular manner similar to how you operate the sharpener of a pencil. In some applications the handle could be operated via a leg.

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

Boats are typically loaded onto trailers with crank handles, in addition to the adjusting equipment and machinery. They are typically made from stainless steel which is resistant against corrosion in marine environments. This is why the majority of boat crank handles are powder coated to protect them from rust and to make them easier to clean.

If your crank handle isn't working or isn't able to open the window, it might be time to replace it. Before doing so you should look for the trim mounting screws within the frame's screen track. If there aren't any, you can use a stiff putty blade to open the cover by sliding it between window jambs and the frame. If it doesn't work, you can take the cover off and access the crank mechanism by removing the screws in the window frame.
