Replacement Handles For UPVC Windows

UPVC window handles are available in different styles, however they all use the same locking mechanism. To replace a uPVC window handle, remove the top screw located at the base of the handle. This will reveal two screws.

Next, measure the length of the spindle to make sure your new handle is a good replacement. It's important to know the type of a handle you have because there are a variety of sizes.

Inline Espagnolette Handles

Most double-glazed windows come with Espagnolette handles that work with multi-point locks to provide greater security. The handle is operated by a 7mm square spindle that connects to a gearbox inside the window frame. The gearbox is able to move the multi-lock mushrooms as the handle turns. They are available in a variety of designs including cranked, inline key locking and cockspur handle, and they can also be provided as a set to replace the handle that has been broken or worn out.

Cockspur Handles

Most often found typically on older uPVC and aluminium windows cockspur handles are a simple catch and latch. The handle's nose is affixed to or placed into the catch, which is a wedge block made of plastic that is positioned on the window frame. Because the wedges are available in various sizes, it is crucial that you know what step height to purchase before purchasing the new handle. As a rule, uPVC windows tend to utilize a 21mm step and aluminium frames usually have a 9mm handle step.

The cockspur handle is lockable with a key, providing security to your home. The lock is inserted into the handle with the spindle which fits into the hole in the handle (also called 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 cockspur handle, it is important to make sure that the replacement handle has the same height for steps as the original. This is usually measured from the base spur of the handle to underside of the handle's nose. This measurement is often known as the backset or stack height and it is crucial to know this information before ordering a 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 allow the user a better access to the window.

It is crucial to determine whether or not your window is required to have a restrictor that is designed to prevent the handle from being opened past 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 a variety of different styles and colours of the cockspur handle, such as brushed stainless steel and white uPVC options. Choosing the best one for your windows will depend on your personal tastes and style, and how you would like the window to perform.

Tilt and Turn Handles

The UK is home to many double-glazed windows featuring tilt and turn handles. They are found on both timber and upvc windows. The handle is typically placed at 90 degrees, but it can also be turned at 180 degrees. This allows the window be opened to the room completely and to lower it to allow for ventilation. The handle is locked in this position, requiring an unlocking key to open the handle if required to open it.

This type of handle can be easily replaced, as it only has one big handle, and not several smaller ones. This improves the appearance of the handle, and is more in line with contemporary minimalist design trends. They are also easier to clean since they open inwards.

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

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

Tilt and turn windows are a common choice for many homes due to their ability to be used in various ways. They can be opened horizontally as a normal window or dropped down to a hopper style. This is an excellent option for those looking to improve airflow and decrease the noise that surrounds their home. The glass is easily removable, making them easy to clean and maintain. These windows are available in a variety of sizes and colors. These windows are ideal for any home, and complement both modern and traditional styles.

Crank Handles

Crank handles require little effort to open and provide a stunning view of the outdoors without blocking the glass. They are commonly used in casement windows, which are hinged on the sides, or awning windows. They have an mechanism that is similar to windows, with a linkage arm that supports the window sash, which opens or closes by cranking the handle in a clockwise direction. Contrary to other kinds of handles that are geared towards windows, a crank window's mechanism and handle are usually subject to a significant amount of wear and tear, which could cause the gears to strip and the handle to cease working or fall off the shaft of the operator. Regularly checking the handle of the crank as well as the operator mechanism will ensure they remain in good condition for many years.

A crank handle consists of a shaft made of metal that rotates perpendicularly, and is attached to an arm. The arm is operated manually by gripping it and turning it in a circular manner similar to how you use the sharpener of a pencil. In certain situations 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 is equipped with an attaching bar that converts the circular motion from the handle into reciprocating and rotary motions to operate machines and equipment.

Boats are often loaded onto trailers with crank handles, in addition to the adjusting equipment and machinery. They are typically made of stainless steel, which is resistant against corrosion in marine environments. The majority of boat crank handles have been coated in powder to guard against damage and make them easier to clean.

If your crank handle has stopped functioning or isn't opening the window, it could be time to replace it. Look for the trim mounting screws inside the track of the window frame. If there aren't any, try to loosen the cover with a stiff putty knife by sliding it between the window jamb as well as the frame and pulling on it. If that doesn't work, you can take the cover off and get access to the crank mechanism by uncreasing the screws on the window frame.
